Introduction to advanced motorcycling [first advanced lesson after DAS] 

I passed my DAS (mod 2) with no faults today! I went through your entire video library ahead of my test and i can truly say, it helped me so much. Even though i covered it all via my training school, taking my own to fully digest it via your videos just helped reaffirm everything in my brain. Your super clear advice and easy to understand instructions makes it a viewing pleasure. So thank you very much from the bottom of my heart. This video has come very timely too...!

I'm usually pretty good with following distances, but I've noticed that the speed of the vehicle I'm in control of pushes me naturally closer or further away. In the car, my distance is the usual 2-4 seconds, or 4+ if wet. At work in the buses the stopping distance is probably 4+ in the dry and even further back in the wet (I like a large gap as buses tend not to be very responsive, some of them take a good 2 whole seconds from the brake pedal being depressed to the endurance brake actually coming on, that and a desire to be as smooth as possible) but on the bike I often catch myself sitting closer than 2 seconds and have to make a lot more effort to keep back. I like these lessons the most I think, probably because I've already passed my test though. Threatening learners not doing what they're told by demanding cups of tea works well as punishment/incentive. My bus instructor often shouted "milk, no sugar!" every time one of us hit a kerb.

Happy New year Leanne 😘i hope you had a lovely Christmas. I haven't watched last weeks video yet! as i was on holiday 😃 this is something i want to do at some point! so i am hoping that come summer months ill be doing less work and more riding 🤣 i ride every day but only back and forth to work less than 30 mins each way 🤣 and about 10 mins play time once a week in a car park.. your videos are so inspiring and your sense of humour is brilliant.. safe ride and stay healthy your Stalker x

Thanks for all your vids, they really did help me big time, lots of pointers and tbh, I watched the whole lot twice of your MOD vids and let it set in and it’s was an easy MOD 2 pass like I had. Had 1 fault, bit too fast when I didn’t see the speed change but everything else was fine. Thank you very much indeed. My instructors were fab at my place but no way did they give as much info as you do. You are a real credit to getting bikers safely on the road and getting their licences. 👍🍻

Keep em commin leanna and happy new year i hope its a good one👍👍🔥🔥

Will sure to watch these after my Mod 2, next week hopefully

Been doing IAM since Nov 22 after passing DAS in August 22. Should have taken test last year but work / mechanical problems on bike got in the way of progress. I now have less work pressures and new bike. Will be following your series. Ride Safe

Great vid, been considering doing my ERSA with you guys for a while

Your laugh is infectious 😂

Great tutor

Hi Leanna, Great video as always Do you do your training through Roadcraft or somewhere else? i'm looking to book some DAS lessons for MOD1 & 2 soonish.

Hi Leanna how’s you? Hope you’re keeping well. A great instructional video. Hay, I like the indicator charge idea, £5 each time 🤣

Passed my full motorcycle test in 1994. All of this was part of my lessons back then. The test seems harder to pass now but they don't teach the basics?

I have combined braking on my bike. I am told it does 70% rear and 30 % front using the pedal. Any advice on the best way to use this new braking system?

Another great vid. but I can't help but feel his current riding is not even up to test standard. Didn't see his head move once, charlie chaplin feet, road sense (parked cars and oncoming), braking. I get the nerves and novice rider, but do feel his standard might be a bit higher that was was demonstrated.

I would be concerned about OP riding so close to the gutter, especially on the B roads. That area accumulates loose dirt and gravel and is a slip hazard. Also OP appears (though it's difficult to be sure from the camera angle) to ride on the over banding and broken edges of surface repairs. She recognises this fault in the leading rider but not in herself. That being said, I do not have advanced rider training.

What l find amazing is prospective motorcyclist must jump through far more 'hoops' than a Car driver ever needs to.....All those Test acronyms are meaningless to me... when l past it was a simple ride in a right hand circuit, then a left hand circuit . Emergency stop... try not to lock the wheels or wobble!. A few questions on Highway Code.. No pursuit system unless on advanced riding....It was very much learn on the job so's to speak. A pursuit and intercom system is a much better teaching aid...

Road craft is 20 yrs out of date and those that use it and preach it think they are gods of the roads. Nothing could be further from the truth. Do a course and u are an expert. Motorcycling is an inherent skill

not for me common sense is best
