Regain confidence

Motorcycle Confidence Session

Confidence can disappear for all sorts of reasons. The answer is not pressure; it is to slow things down and work through the problem properly.

Get comfortable again.

Perhaps you have dropped a motorcycle, bought a larger or heavier bike, had a frightening moment on the road, returned after time away, or simply do not feel as comfortable as you used to.

A dedicated confidence session can include:

  • Moving and manoeuvring the motorcycle
  • Mounting and dismounting
  • Slow-speed balance
  • Starting and stopping
  • Tight turns
  • U-turns
  • Hill starts
  • Parking
  • Braking
  • Junction confidence
  • Traffic confidence
  • Riding larger motorcycles
  • Getting comfortable with an unfamiliar bike
  • Setting the pace around you
There is no embarrassment in going back over the basics. Good riders work on weaknesses rather than pretending they do not have them.
