This is how we approach motorcycle training after you have passed your basic motorcycle test.  If you think it would benefit you in the states, I will post some more information

THE ‘SYSTEM’

The principles of Advanced Motorcycling are based on a ‘System’ that is applied to every hazard when you are riding.  By applying this ‘System ‘ it ensures that you will be always travelling at the right speed, in the right gear and on the right position on the road.  In other-words it is a drill you follow as you ride along, not like when you go to work.  You know at a certain time there will be a bus at the stop and when you turn into work the mailman is always coming out.  With Advanced Motorcycling you have to get the mind to work more and appreciate what is happening around you more.  An Advanced rider will think, is the bus stopped, just about to pull off and where are the passengers.  Are they about to cross the road?  The Advanced rider does not think what a nice colour the bus is.

 

 For the ‘System’ to be applied you must be aware of what a hazard is.  A hazard is anything that contains an element of danger.  It can be described as follows:-

a)  Junctions, roundabout, bend or hillcrest,

b)  Movement and position of other road users,

c)  Variations in road surface and weather conditions.

 

Whenever you see a hazard the ‘System’ is applied and is used in phase.  The ‘System’ contains 6 phases and they must always be used in sequence.

 

In plain English, when you see something or anticipate something happening, which will effect you, you react according by using the ‘System’.  Like I mentioned earlier, by doing this, you increase your margin of safety by developing a defensive riding style that is also progressive...
MAKING YOUR OWN SAFETY BUBBLE AS BIG AS POSSIBLE
