  • Riding tuition video- Street Smarts

    Hi,

    I have recently watch a 3 part video on riding tuition, called street smarts, it runs for around 3 hours. I found it especially helpful, with some fantastic tips to improve your riding skills. The video is around 20 years old, personally i feel it's essential for all to view, especially for all those with performance oriented bikes, still it has some seriously good stuff, which applies to all bike segments, what with our chaotic roads and random road users.

    If anyone has watched this series, i would like to hear your comments about it, if you haven't watched it, you maybe able to find it on google or via a bittorrent, you would need to check that out.

    Cheers,

    looking forward to a healthy discussion.
    Beware of Bread, don't say I didn't warn you!
    More than 98 percent of convicted criminals are bread eaters !
    Statistics show that more than 75 % of violent crimes are committed within 24 hours of eating bread !
    Bread is known to be extremely addictive. Subjects deprived of bread and given only water, actually begged for bread after just two days !
    Bread has been proven to kill. Scientists have now uncovered alarming evidence that 100% of the people who eat bread will eventually die !

        Thanks for the approval Noor, as I expected, there is a lack of interest in this thread.

        I guess road safety and proper riding skills are not so important, even the riding gear thread is more about how cheap you can buy knock of gear, more that the actual protection given by a particular product.

        Well I guess that's life (or death)

        Enjoy!

            Yep got twist of the wrist, it's excellent, I still feel it's worth having both, Street smarts being more street oriented and Twist of the wrist 2 being a combination of both.

              If I has seen this thread earlier, then I would surely have watched both these videos by now. Am getting these videos and will watch them soon. I am a young biker eager to learn more and more. Most of us need more education on biking, however much of an expert we think we are

              OT: @ stefanm - I just love that avatar pic of yours! Everytime I see Mr Oink Oink saying Eat Me, I cannot help but miss Goa. Lovely food, weather, people and not to forget cheap beer
              Biking is not about what you have between your legs, its all about how well you use it!!!!!!!
