Here are some common issues that Peak Rider can help you master:
Positioning Accurate positioning is a visible hallmark of an advanced rider. Do you know exactly where you should be on the road and why? You'll learn how to position your bike for maximum advantage: the best view, the best grip and for safety.Cornering Do you find taking bends to be somewhat nerve-wracking? Confident cornering is the essential skill of motorcycling. Learn how to accurately determine the correct speed for every bend. Master your steering control and discover why a moving motorcycle is far more stable than you might think.
Braking Few people take up biking to experience the joys of braking. Are you tentative with the front brake because you fear losing control? Learn how to use your brakes effectively and make the best use of an often misunderstood and underused resource.
Gears and Acceleration How do you know if you're in the right gear? Do you find yourself down-shifting in the middle or at the exit of bends? One of the keys to smooth riding is being in the correct gear at the correct time for accurate use of the throttle. We'll show you how.
Overtaking Are you reluctant to attempt overtakes or find the manoeuvre a bit worrisome? Make your overtaking a well planned and safely executed aspect of efficient progress. Discover the step by step process that puts you in total control.
Winter Riding Get a grip on your winter riding. Stay riding and stay sharp. Yes, it may involve washing your bike more frequently but what you will learn about smoothness and control in the winter will pay massive dividends come summer. And remember, there's no bad weather, just bad clothes.
