Top 5 Motorcycle Training Tips

Motorcycle training is a brilliant thing because in doing it you are opening up a whole new world of camaraderie and experiences that will stay with you forever.

Motorcycling is about much more than the simple pleasure of being able to enjoy the UK’s roads; it is about sharing experiences with thousands of likeminded individuals and becoming part of the motorcycle fraternity.

Every one of our team lives the life in and outside of our motorcycle training workshops and as a result we are well placed to offer you the top 5 beginner motorcycle tips to help you enjoy your new bike even more.

1. Start by getting the right motorcycle training.

Trained motorcycle riders are statistically MUCH less likely to be involved in accidents than their untrained counterparts. Riders who take motorcycling seriously try to continuously improve their riding skills are more likely to have long and happy riding careers. It’s all about attitude.

2. Practice Continual Learning

Just because you have passed your test or completed your motorcycle training does not mean you then have a licence to do what you want because you are as good as the Moto GP boys! Even the very best riders constantly look for ways to get better and ride safer and smarter.

3. Learn from a professional motorcycle Training Expert

Just because your best mate thinks he’s the best thing since Agostini does not mean that he is best place to teach you to ride. In many ways learning from an enthusiastic amateur can be a very ad thing to do as you will simply pick u their bad habits. It is always best to visit a motorcycle training centre like ours so you start with the very best techniques for keeping you safe in the road and track.

4. Do not buy your dream bike straight away

When you’re just getting started, it’s easy to get caught up in the allure of the machine itself. Your friend has a GSKR so you have to have one. You saw the Ducati gleaming in the sun and now you can’t get the colour red out of your mind.

The problem is you are much more likely to have an accident on your first bike as any other in your riding career and with 1000ccs of expensive to fix metal between your thighs the dangers become much greater. The best thing is to run around on a less powerful used or cheaper bike for the first six months while you learn your road sense before then going for that bike.

5. Motorcycle Accessories are as important as the motorcycle.

Sounds like a crazy thing to say but what you wear to keep yourself safe is perhaps the most important decision you will make when first starting out.

A helmet and gloves are a good start, but also consider boots, a jacket and pants specifically made for riding. Rain gear made specifically for motorcycling is inexpensive and will keep you comfortable and safer when the weather turns foul. Ordinary rainwear will likely be destroyed from the wind when riding a motorcycle.
