I'd want them to say the top one, but it is properly more the 'a little wary'.
Put me in a car and I'm fine, on my bike there is just something about going around corners as fast I can't quite get my head around.
My friend is a police biker and went out with him a few weeks ago, it was a completely different world. I did learn a lot following him for a hour or two though.

What the hell sort of poll is this? Oh I'd want him to say I was utter s
te, what do you think?
Do the bike safe course and a report on your riding from a police officer is exactly what you'll get. Personally, I'd want them to tell me the truth, whatever that was. In my case I had the senior instructor and the guy who assesses all of the instructors, following me all day around Windsor. But as a poll, that's total arse. It's a loaded question. Weird.

Of course you want them to tell you the truth, but what do you want the truth to be?te, what do you think?

Do you aim to be riding in the exact police approved manner which is what IAM and ROSPA examiners seem to look for?
Do you aim to leave a bit more in hand because you don't have a marked up bike and aren't intending to pursue villains?
Or do you regard the police method as riding by numbers and a bit over cautious?

I'd like a bit more confidence in the wet but I know that writhin a couple of months, that will return anyway as I'll have no choice but to commute in it. But I'd like to be able to dial that confidence up at will so that anytime is equivalent to post 2 months of wet commuting.
Other than that, I really rate my road riding s
t. And by that I mean that I'm happy with the risks I take, the progress I make and the fun I have. How that rates on everyone else's scale is of no consequence to me because to align myself with someone else's standards on either would be pointless and lead to me having less fun, making less progress or riding less safely. And I'm the only one who dictates those. Ki3r said:

Would love the opportunity - the Bike Safe course was good, but longer and not havign the constraints of a fixed time, other riders etc, would be a whole different thingPut me in a car and I'm fine, on my bike there is just something about going around corners as fast I can't quite get my head around.
