Advanced Training

"Its quite something when you can enjoy an advanced riding day that's more like a swimming lesson. Bob Pinder, the man behind Hampshire based
www.gobybike.com has an infectious enthusiasm for riding bikes that even appalling weather can't dampen. Unusually for a Roadcraft guru, Blackbird riding Bob's never been a police officer. He's a RoSPA qualified instructor with more than 20 years' experience in motorcycle training.
My day with Bob was aimed at getting me ready to take the IAM test (before my recent brush with the magistrates put the mockers on it), so it wasn't so much about learning new skills as sharpening existing ones. Bob's bike-to-bike commentary was excellent and corrective advice ensured that, by the end of the day, my riding was better than it had been at the start.
Definitely worthwhile." Simon Weir
"Top tip - Bob got me to raise my head slightly, so instead of merely looking well ahead on open roads, I was looking to the absolute limit of view, getting information earlier. A small change, but significant."
