Re: Motorcycle videos

Interesting. Didn't know it was an MSF thing. I don't remember seeing it in the book I read. I'll have to dig it out again. When particular trainee was on the point of giving up riding because of difficulty getting out of their 'home' side road onto a major road. This sorted it. Surely it was the sm...

Rather than start a long document, I'll add to this post. Thanks. Considered. My thoughts: I've stopped with some angle o...

Re: Driving with DSG
