CamRider Training

[WhisperingWasp]

Does anyone have any experience with this bike school? Particularly the one in Bedford.

Looking to do my DAS in February/March. Would prefer to use the same company that I did my CBT with but these lot seem to have a decent offer on at the mo.

Incidentally all of the course options include the CBT, even the 4 day "experienced" option. I already have this but would still prefer a 5 day course for the extra training/experience. Would I just have an extra day straight on the big bike you think?

Cheers.

Thanks people.

Spoken to a school in Brackley today (who I did my CBT with) and they can do a decent enough deal too.

Finally thinking it's more a case now of deciding who to do my DAS with rather than whether/when to do it!

DAS booked

[WhisperingWasp]

Mod 1 passed . Minor for 48kph on swerve test, think I closed the throttle too early. Or maybe it was the wind! It blew the timing bar away on the emergency stop so I had to do it twice.

Mod 2 to be arranged as soon as work will allow.

Get in there! Mod2 passed with one minor.

Quick question: having now got a full category A licence am I mad to be considering a CBR400rr? I really do like them and feel it could be a great bike to learn my craft on. I know the more obvious choice is a CBR600f but I am drawn to the 400...

One other thing: I'm thinking of doing the advanced rider scheme (or something?) - any thoughts/experience of this?

Cheers.f

ETA enhanced rider scheme maybe...

Nothing wrong with a 400 Honda, that's what I have (CB400 VTEC)as my first bike after passing my test back in October. Cheap to insure (£90 a year TPFT), enough power to have fun (0-60 in 5 seconds ain't that slow) and mine handles awesomely as they're very light and chuckable. 55 MPG too, just beware that parts are harder to find being imports, however quite a few parts are shared with other UK Honda models of the same era.

Cheers Paul - who do you do your insurance through?
