Group Riding Training - Saturday 7th November 10:00 @ Allan Jefferies BMW

GROUP RIDE OUT TRAINING INITIATIVE Riding in a larger group requires a different set of skills to riding alone or with a few companions. We want everyone who participates in an Allan Jefferies BMW ride out, or indeed travels with us on an overseas tour, to enjoy the experience, not feel pressurised to ride at speeds outside of their comfort zone and most importantly to remain safe at all times. In our pre-ride briefings riders are encouraged to 'ride their own ride", i.e. at a pace which is comfortable and safe for them. We employ a drop-off / corner marking system, have regular stops to gather everyone together and on ride outs with larger numbers of riders we have a tail-end Charlie or sweeper, so there is never a need to try to keep up with the rider in front of you. Some of you may know the highly respected advanced riding instructor Jim Bryan of Enhanced Riding http://enhancedriding.com/. Jim's services have been retained by Allan Jefferies BMW to offer customers the opportunity to learn how to ride in a group safely and enjoyably. Jim will be offering Saturday morning workshops later this year and in 2016, dates will be announced on this group Facebook page as soon as they have been finalised. Ride safely! Tony Barker, EuroBikeTrans. Places are limited, so book early via Fiona Waller @ Allan Jefferies -- 01274 535484

BMW, Club, "Ride Friendly Day", @ Snetterton 17th August 2015

As the heading suggests, a day of relaxed, enjoyable cooperative riding on Snetterton's 300 circuit. Not a single, "off", throughout the day - that's up there in, "Hopp Rider Training",'s safety record territory!

And, finally a photograph that catches the mood of happy, relaxed riders having an excellent day, a laugh and enjoying what, for some, was their first ever day on a track, (Stan enjoys working with the ladies, and they seem to enjoy working with him).

Just back from two weeks in Maroc

And it was absolutely awesome. Despite, and sometimes because of, the snow, (+27 degrees Celsius to -1.5 in a single afternoon).

First laps of The 'Ring this year.

Two Suzuki Swifts, (RSR hacks I think), complete a nice steady lap of the Nordschleife this year. Points to note - excellent disciple under the waved yellows, waiting for the green flag before setting off again, and Brunnchen looks quite different with its new surface. All the best, Jim.

Nurburgring Trip - 2016

Some of you will have been waiting for the details of our trip to the Nordschleife, originally planned for September this year. I'm afraid that I am having to postpone this until September next year,(2016), due to September 2015 now being fully booked up with work and family commitments, so much so that I shall be missing my usual trip to the Manx. However, those of you, (twelve confirmed to date), who were lined up for this September now have an additional twelve months in which to prepare yourselves. All the best, Jim.
