IAM Taster
In a bid to get better at not falling off, I got in touch with EDAM (Edinburgh District Advanced Motorists) who were offering a taster session for the IAM Ridesmart scheme – something you need to get if you want to be a blood biker, or just fancy a discount on your insurance.
Wee Weich To The Water Of Ken
So today was meant to be sensible, and on a schedule.
Going West, then East (because the weather was shite)
Guided by the forth…
Odyssey To Otterburn
New Brakes, New Attitude, No chance.
Biker Down!
I’d heard of these courses, and managed to grab a couple of places on one for me and the lads.
Peebles and 3 Post Work Reservoirs
The middle of May, and another Friday after work… Of course we had the bikes out!
Post Work Ride to The Dalveen pass
Another day, another couple of quid from working – but worked finished, we had motorbikes, and some good weather…
Kilmarnock, Kathleen and Kunts (a trip to “Edinburgh”)
A storm, a Saturday and honestly, some fun.
The Struggle Is Real
When starting out with motorbikes, I’m not ashamed to admit I youtubed the hell out of them and what could go wrong (crashes, equipment failures, dropping the bike.. that kind of thing) and I had a good laugh about some of it.
It turns out that it could happen to anyone – I know that now because it happened to me.
