Hello.

It would be great to get a recommendation from a friendly pistonheads member

Ive been riding for a long time but its always been sporadic, eg another child comes along and I don’t ride for a bit, then its winter so don’t ride for a bit and then when i finally get out it’s for short bursts between dealing with 100000x family commitments!

I brought my bike out of winter hibernation and I’ve started to feel unconfident in the twisties especially if its damp. I don’t have a sports bike so its not like I’m trying to get my knee down (Tenere 700)

It would be great to have a day with someone who can help build my confidence up again.

I’m in Halifax so well located in the Pennines opening up options around west yorks / lancs

Thanks

Another vote for i2i academy just outside York, they do on road training as well as airfield and reasonably priced too. When I had a 2 year break riding/driving following a big accident I tried one of their courses and ended up doing all of them.

Joining a local RoSPA group is also very cheap, but as always with group activities much depends on how you gel with the instructor you get assigned.

That’s brilliant - thanks all. I’ll be getting in touch with those and see what they can do.
