The Dark Wob

Nice one. I did mine in 1982. A lot of it is common sense and if you’ve been riding for any length of time the whole positioning and hazard perception thing comes naturally or you won’t survive. Welcome to the elite

Great pic.

I'd have thought that thing would tank slap like mad with that front fork geometry.

No, he even bought my tea after the test! I still can't ride though, it's all about thinking about & nothing really about bike control & handling. They do track based skills days which I might do though. My biggest weakness is I don't trust the front end, so that should be very good for that. I don't want to do a normal track day as I don't like zip together leathers or full face lids - so no point doing a day wearing stuff that feels so odd I'm utterly uncomfy & can't concentrate on my riding. The skills days allow any road going gear, which will suit me better.

Get yourself on an trials training day, one of the things I used to practise was riding with the front wheel locked so I didn't panic when it invariably did it whilst on a step slippy descent.
And it's fun

That does look fun actually, not sure I'm young enough to fall off all day though.

It's only the same as falling over walking back from the pub but going slower...

Well I figured the amount of miles I do it might be an idea, but mostly as I was sick of only knowing idiots I didn't want to ride with as they are dangerous. Some of this lot are safe & fast, which makes rideouts fun.
