Shires have their first off road sessions

Back to Gallery
On the 31st October & the 7th November 2008
Shires instructors went on their off road sessions on a track near Doncaster
The day started out with Mick Extance introducing us to the two bikes we were going to use for the day.
He continued to explain how to stand up on the pegs, where to put your feet, and how to use the controls, and even how to pick up the bike if you fell off, (As if us intructors would fall off :))
Then off to the track, although rather slowly we all managed to get the bike moving round the mudiest track you ever did see. Mick gave us an example of how it should be done, twisting the throttle more when the bike slides is just so unnatural.

Below are some pictures from both days showing several different instructors
