Hi All,
Does anyone know if there is any advance motorcycle training available that teaches skid control? I’ve seen plenty of “skidpan” car info about but nothing for bikes.
This stems from the recent cold snap that we had and me being caught out by a patch of black ice.
I wasn’t racing by any means but I still nearly lost it, I got through but to be honest this was due more to a good set of tyres and “Using the Force” rather than skill.
Thinking back I certainly went to “Brown Alert” at the time, but could I have done anything different or better?
I know it’s not just this time of year when we hit the skiddy roads; look at most road junctions or garage forecourts, etc and they are covered in diesel, come autumn and out come the wet leaves and so on.
So any ideas / comments gratefully received.
