The second part of the Bikesafe course series covering riding out on the open road as I give a full commentary, explaining road positions, observations, filtering tactics and more. Devitt Insurance asked if I'd like to do a Bikesafe course with the Met police, and being a police trained biker and driver I thought it would not only be a good refresher for me, but also an opportunity to explain why 'we' do what we do when riding to the police motorcycle training system of Roadcraft.
In part 1 we started at the Bikeshed in central London and rode out of town through heavy traffic, so make sure you check that episode out here • Ex-Police Rider Explai...

I did my std and adv car and bike courses in the job starting in 1985, followed by TPAC, security escort etc. was full time on bikes for several years and after retiring did training and assessments for recruiting riders for Blood bikes. However, I have not had a bike for about 5 years due to focussing on Motorhome touring but I am now looking to return to biking. Despite all my trying and experience I accept my skills will have diminished, so I am starting by watching KZbin videos and found your part 1 and 2 on bike safe a great refresher. It reminded me of the satisfaction of doing all that commentary both in my head or out loud inside my helmet and even debriefing myself on where I went wrong. (We all cock up). I will be doing a bike safe myself when I pick up a new bike, we are never too old to learn

Being retired met response biker like you it was great seeing you take on the Bikesafe course. I did it years ago before I went onto complete the met response solo course myself and found it a great pre curser. Watching you do it again was such a good reminder of the little bits that keep us safe. Remembering I don’t need to ride everywhere at response mode helps. The Hendon shuffle, I still do it. Remember, Slow in, fast out of the bends was great. Position for vision and always sacrifice position for safety. Brill. Thanks for this great vid Bruce I really enjoyed it!

Life is too short, don't be in a hurry to end it. Being an ambulance tech and and a fellow biker, I just wonder when I will be picking that rider up off the road at times. Be safe!!

Sorry.. totally disagree.. Bad example for a training video .. what training video would show someone overtaking vehicles on an a 'A' road in excess of 70 mph on several occasions and exceeding other speed limits throughout the video. ... a traing course would tell you to be observant at all times and if you observed his speedo at all, you would realise that's it's certainly not suitable as a training video

Well done Bruce. You showed that the system of motorcycle control, is very much still within you and used in your riding to the effect it does give to riding. From your own history and training and old profession of; Police rider/driver, it is still serving you in your riding in your "profession" as a motorcycle vlogger, of which I think is at a high standard and sets example to others to follow, that if they were to also commit to some good training, with a professional rider trainer, they to could change their own ride so much for the better and safer. Watching you here shows, that it isn't boring, "old pipe and slippers brigade riding" as was so often thought in the past, but that it is the way to take one's own riding. You have just shown that and expressed it so well to your "subscribers", which I am one, it is so worth it to do these training/assessment opportunities. Well done mate and I hope many more see it and take it up themselves, leaving their egos at home. You've reached a lot of people who watch and listen to your advice on your channel, about bikes and riding and the fun to be had, but safely, as much as we did if not more! on the old Essex Police BikeSafe and currently on the Essex FireBike Better Biking course. Bless ya matey, enjoy once again well done on a great video Bruce.

Beautifully done Bruce. Good revision from my own Bike Safe course recently. I’ve seen so many mates put themselves under self induced pressure to put the overtake on to keep up with their pals. Better to try and resist the temptation if it’s not safe. Rather be cautious and a minute late than anything worse 👍🏻

Superb video Bruce. I did a similar course through Honda about 25 years ago, two days 1:1 with an ex Hendon instructor. The observation and positioning I learned there has stuck with me ever since. Not only did it make me a safer rider, I became more relaxed and confident and started enjoying riding so much more. Watching your video made me realise I could do with sharpening up my riding, so thanks for that. Excellent video, well worth rewatching every year.

So I have an HGV class 1 since 1985 and untold mileage under my belt but one thing for sure is you can never get enough training!!! Smooth =speed , forward vision =speed really enjoy the channel .

This has been a great series Bruce one of the best examples of advanced riding especially the commentary. I am a member of the IAM, ride a blood bike and so do lots of miles in all weather and must redo training and a test not always IAM but with a recognised organisation every three years. What always surprises me with some bikers is that “if I’m able to ride really fast I’m a good rider” been there myself in my younger days but 40+ years of biking on see it differently now.
@teapotone
@teapotone 2 жыл бұрын
Thanks bud, glad you’ve enjoyed them. Yes absolutely, I totally agree. It used to be all about speed for me, and the faster I went and faster I cornered, the better rider I felt I was. Now I see some riders on the road and cringe as I know they’re surviving mostly by luck, and eventually that’ll run out. Don’t get me wrong, there are some incredibly talented riders out there who are comfortable at way higher speeds for situations than I am, but I’m definitely much more reserved in my usage of speed than I used to be, and I’d like to think my vision ahead and risk assessments are higher than average now. Accidents still happen though and you can never think you know it all. I’ve recently done a day with ‘Rapid Training’ and I learned loads regarding my vision, positioning, and more. Every day is a school day 👍😉

Nope, never been an issue for me personally. My headlights and road positioning are a much larger factor in being noticed by other road users. Personally I only notice high-viz clothing after I’ve already spotted a bike due to their lights. I tend not to sit with traffic on the nationals and would rather get passed and away from potential hazards. But it’s a personal thing, I do t think anyone should be forced to wear anything in particular on a bike - helmet is a bare minimum and that’s fine by me.

Like your style of riding and you do as I do notice all those tell tale signs such as the bins out, child's scooter and such and doing those little things like thanking vehicles you have just filtered by and riding in a staggered formation. I had been riding for 40 years before doing extra training with the IAM Roadsmart group, if nothing else you get the feedback on your riding from many other riders, including ex Police and forces riders. A great video Sir, ride safe.

This could be a series; so informative and useful. It’s helpful k recognise the roads as well but this is really clear and even though I’ve been riding over 15 years I’ve learnt plenty. Thanks Bruce

Great video. I did bike safe many years ago when it was first happening and have booked another on this september as back on bikes after a 10 year gap. This was a really good pair of videos to remind me and give me confidence that i do (sort of) know what I am doing!!!

Not going to blow smoke up your ar$e and be all fan boy bla bla bla BUT this was a super helpful upload. I'm in my late 40s but only started riding around 5 years ago but don't ride half as much as I would like to due to work (and hence my confidence at speed when cornering is not great). Anyroad, when you do content like this it's super so thank you. Would be good if you ever did a similar video again to get a similar commentary but from the actual police observer of his own internal monologue to see what is going on in his mind as he rides. Good work Bruce. Cheers.

Lovely ride, I'll be carrying on learning then! Good course, Bikesafe. One takeaway from my course relating to paint on the roads you mentioned was "white means shite". Thanks so much for the vid and your commentary was right on the mark.
