Ride Forever - Silver
The Silver course is for competent restricted license riders wanting to progress towards their full licence, and 'returning riders' a refresher course in a range of on-road riding environments.
Description
The Silver course takes riders on a range of urban roads, intersections, higher speed roads, corners, riding exercises in a carpark, and may cover around 100km during the day.
This course is designed for intermediate level riders on a restricted or full licence, who are likely to be riding mid-sized machines, capable of riding competently on the road at all posted speed limits, including 100km/hr on the motorway and open road.
Courses are run in small groups, which allows for individual tuition and feedback to help each rider improve.
The first part of the day includes introductions and some discussion and videos, so as soon as you start riding you have some additional knowledge and skills to put into practise.
Topics may include:
- Pre-ride checks for your bike
- Safety gear
- Riding in a group
- Observation techniques
- Interaction with other road users
- Motorcycle control – slow manoeuvring, emergency braking, U-turns
- Basic Roadcraft principles
- Road positioning
- Cornering
- CBTA assessment criteria
