AMT Australian Motorcycle Training

Last February was the deadliest month of the year for motorcyclists. Together, we can make a change for 2022.

We’ve already lost four motorcyclists on our roads this year. We can all do our bit to help keep them safe. A safer ride starts with you.

Today the A-Team from F45 Training Ipswich Central and F45 Training Karalee joined us to complete their Pre Learner Qride Course!
Day 1 was a blast
Great conditions to learn to ride!

For returning riders, getting back on the bike feels like you’ve got your freedom back but this is not just as simple as dusting off the bike, popping on the helmet and heading out on the road.

Just like with any skill, practice and continuation is the key.
For a returning rider and lot of attention is spent on the physical side of riding (regaining muscle memory) and less attention on the road conditions and traffic!

Lessons are available!

Skidding! Yikes!
Skidding can be dangerous so it’s important to know how to avoid a skid or how to control it if it happens.

Skidding is generally caused by changing course or speed too harshly for the conditions!

So how can we minimise the risk of skidding?

• Riding to the conditions – don’t suddenly or forcibly brake, accelerate or change direction.
• Avoiding or slowing down on, slippery surfaces such as gravel, road paint, oil, water and metal plates.
• Ensuring your tyres are in good condition with sufficient tread, and are inflated to the correct pressure.

If a skid develops immediately remove the cause:
• If excessive braking is causing the wheel to lock up, ease off the brake and allow the wheel to rotate.
When stability is regained apply the brake more smoothly.
• If excessive speed or harsh acceleration is causing the skid, ease off the throttle and slow down.
When stability is regained apply the throttle more smoothly.

We bang on about Roadcraft but what is it actually?

Roadcraft is a vital part of your skill set and put simply, roadcraft is observation, speed management, road positioning and attitude.

So is your roadcraft where you need it to be to be a safe rider?
If not and you want to increase your skill and gain the experience you need, book in now for some extra training!

Managing problems while riding! Have you thought about how you would handle it?
In a matter of moments something can go wrong when we are riding but how do we keep ourselves upright and safe?

Let’s face it, we don’t want the wobbles when we ride.

Motorcycle wobbles are usually related to stability problems caused by excessive or unevenly distributed weight, or mechanical problems such as worn or loose bearings or worn or under inflated tyres.

If the motorcycle wobbles:
• Keep a firm grip of the handlebars without locking your arms or fighting the steering.
• Gradually roll off the throttle to slow down.
• Gradually apply the brakes and move to the roadside.

Work out what was causing the wobble and fix the problem before you continue riding.

One on one lessons are available for those who need road riding experience!
