Morning all,
Just passed the M1 Exit course at Humber this past weekend. It was an amazing course, highly recommend for any prospective (no experience) riders to people looking to refresh the basics from some time away. Such a diverse group all weekend, most with no experience (myself included) - came out feeling great! (zero out of 11 - perfect score!) Amazing group - hopefully I will see some of them again next spring.
Taking the course so late in the year, however, has left me with some questions for how to stay sharp and start on the best foot in the new year.
My plan is to buy in the fall/ winter to take advantage of some deals to be had. When it comes to starting up next year on the roads, how do you suggest is the best way to build/ maintain the confidence that was inspired by the safety course?
I figure parking lot for a little bit with the new bike to refresh my touch, etc. After that?
Small roads/ suburbs? I want to give myself the best chance to learn and continue to build confidence so I don't ruin the hobby for myself by being a bonehead.
Cheers all - and if anyone here took the course this past weekend shoot me a PM!
