Hi All

Well another year has nearly flown by and

all we can think of during the gloomy

mornings is come on spring hurry up. I love

riding on a cold crisp and bright winters

day though so hopefully we can get out

there and make the most of it.

I have had to recycle some articles for this

edition so I do apologize, hopefully they are

still amusing and interesting though.

Despite the generally very good summer

there appears to have been a lack of writing

going on, all to busy riding I hope. Anyway

if you find yourselves at a loose end over

the winter please feel free to send in some

articles they will always be most

appreciated.

Laura


December is fast approaching and the coldest weather yet to come, time to get out

the winter kit.

Several layers is the best way to keep warm some people say you should not wear

man made fibres and prefer Merino wool, but in my experience the most cost

effective way to keep warm is look around the outdoor shops for walking / climbing

under garments usually of good quality and designed to wick away moisture and

keep you warm, and at a fraction of the cost. Topped off with your textiles of choice

and for me heated gloves complete the kit. Keep your hands and body core warm and

enjoy those lovely bright winter days ridding.

There was a thread on the forum recently titled ‘Leaves’ Oh I though this should be

interesting,

‘The trees are shredding their coats for winter. Expect the unexpected’

A Reply

‘Not that unexpected Spider! Happens at this time every year! Lol’

I did laugh but perhaps a timely reminder to a different set of hazards than those you

might expect to come across in the summer, so think about what different hazards

are likely to present themselves at this time of year. Here is one example, tempera-

ture around zero frost on the fields, road surface untreated but been fine even in

shaded areas, a bridge comes into sight would you expect the surface to be as good as

what you had already encountered or would you think freezing air above and below


the road surface is it likely to be the same or is it likely to be covered in black ice or

frost?

Would your thought process have been the same?

February group night is our AGM, a nomination form for the 2014 committee is in

this issue of TUG or if you email me I will send it to you. If you have some time you

could give up to the group get a form, a proposer and seconder and give something

back to the group, all officers positions have to be elected and one third of the rest of

the committee. Those not standing for re-election this year are I (Chair) Laura

Windram (TUG Editor) and Keith Boyles (committee)

Keep the shiny sides up

Slow Riding Day

Our second slow riding day for 2013 was held on Sunday 29th September and proved

popular, with 12 Group members and 8 observers participating. Thanks to this strong

support from Observers we were able to run a wide range of activities and offer some 1-

to1 assistance where needed. Thank you also to Graham Simpkins for allowing us to use

the excellent Ford Test Track venue.

Everyone seemed to enjoy the day and certainly everyone I spoke to benefited from the

experience. I took a few pictures which Laura may have been able to include elsewhere

in this issue of TUG.

With Dave Cardy taking part in Richard's clashing Full Member ride we had a new winner

of the coveted 'snail t-shirt' for being Slowest Rider! There were 3 heats of 4 riders,

which were won by: Ian Brady (43 secs); Graham Childs (47 secs); & Jill Winn (37 secs).

In the final, comprising of the heat winners plus slowest second place rider (Mick Lee),

the pressure told and 3 competitors were disqualified for putting a foot down! This left

Graham a worthy winner - even though he sped up after everyone else went out, to win

in 40 seconds.

Training with EAMG

In my view the fact that EAMG is an independent Group enables us to provide the widest

possible range and depth of training options. Having said this some might consider that I

am not totally unbiased in making this claim, so I have included some recent unsolicited

comments from Group members (in italics) to support this assertion!

For Associate members this means we do not tie you into taking just one specific test. In

fact, if you only need assistance in addressing specific riding issues there is not even a

requirement for you to take a test at all (although most members do eventually decide


that they would like to have their riding independently checked out by a Police Class 1

rider).

1-to-1 Observed Rides – Form the core of Associate training within EAMG, with an

assigned Observer focussing on addressing your personal training needs. We request

Associates to make a contribution of £10 per 1-to-1 ride to help offset Observer

expenses.

Before you can be allocated to a 1-to-1 Observer EAMG requires you to complete a New

Associate Training Process (NATP), which covers the prerequisites for safe participation in

training and are normally run in conjunction with Associate Group Training (AGT)

sessions.

AGTs – Provide Associates with the opportunity to attend short Roadcraft sessions

followed by an observed ride with a different Observer over different routes and are held

at 09:15 on the first Sunday of the month after the Group Night meeting on the first

Tuesday (except in January when there is no AGT!). Our venue is Moulsham School,

Chelmsford, post code CM2 9ES.

Here is a copy of an e-mail I received from Ian Villa on the day before the AGT on 10th

November:

"Hi John,

Sorry I missed the Tuesday evening meeting, work just didn't seem to come to an end this week

also I have to work tomorrow also. I have made arrangements with Alan for my 3rd ride out, and

finding the pointers that he is giving me very useful. I would also like to say that just before joining I

had lost my confidence and had considered parking the bike up for good. The slow riding day

showed me how to take control again. The day for me was a great success, after being able to use

my brakes till the ABS came in under controlled conditions, and using the back brake at slow speed

gave me full control.

Look forward to seeing you all at the next meeting. Also I have received the books that you sent and

enjoying the read. Thanks to you club and Alan's words of advice I am now thinking of buying a

newer pan. Once again thanks and sorry I can't make it tomorrow. The joys of self employment!

Ian"

We also seek to cater for the requirements of all Full members by offering Full Member

Training (FMT) days and Further Training of Full Members (FTFM).

FMT – John Tipper coordinates FMTs, which offer a full day’s training over around 200

miles. Unfortunately, you are now too late to attend in 2013 but 4 dates have been

scheduled for 2014 - see 2014 Diary elsewhere in TUG for dates. To give you an idea of

what you might have missed here are some comments from Andy Lee from the latest

FMT held on 20th October:


“A big thank you to John Tipper for running yesterday's full member training day, the last

for this year.

The day started off very wet and damp and fallen leaves were a real hazard. The day

then brightened up as we travelled north through Suffolk and Norfolk, although if you

want to use the Barton Mills roundabout to access the A1101 towards Bury St. Edmunds,

there's a detour of about 20 miles from the South and the A11! After a late lunch stop,

we headed back to Essex, but by about 4.00pm the heavens opened and the rain was

torrential. We stopped at the petrol station in Halstead and John made the decision to

abandon the ride, as we were all heading in different directions to get home. As we left

the petrol station, we were met with a "river" coming down the hill into Halstead and a

few butt clenching moments to get through it and subsequent standing water all the way

back towards Braintree. After that the main roads were fine and by the time I got home,

the rain had stopped and the wind dried me out a bit. I hope everyone else survived as

well.

Despite the weather, I picked up a lot of good advice and tips to improve my riding and

to help prepare me for my RoSPA re-test early next year and at £45 for the day, it really

was excellent value for money.

Andy"

FTFM – Offers Full members an opportunity to sign up for individual 1-to-1 training, with

a dedicated Observer holding a current RoSPA Gold certificate. FTFM is designed to offer

individuals the opportunity to prepare for a RoSPA test or retest, to address specific

riding issues or to prepare for training to become an EAMG Observer. We request a

modest additional annual membership fee of £20 and a contribution of £10 to your

Observer for each ride. If you are interested please contact Teri Olley or myself.

Training Feedback

EAMG's Observers aim to set the highest possible standards when training Group

members but we are always keen to try and improve further. One way we hope to

achieve this is by receiving your honest and constructive feedback on your experiences,

whether they offer praise or criticism. If you have any comments you wish to make

please complete a Training Feedback Report form and return it to me. Your comments

will be treated with the utmost confidentiality.

Should any members have any training related queries then please contact me via e-mail

[email protected] or send me a PM via the Message Board.

“If you have a crash and it wasn’t your fault we can manage your claim free of charge. That means we will represent you and communicate with your insurance company, the at-fault insurance company, your repairer and, most importantly, YOU to resolve liability in your favour and manage

your claim until your bike is back with you, fully repaired.

In the unfortunate event that a bike is damaged, bikers may not be aware that once their insurer is notified, the insurer will arrange for their ap-proved repairer to collect their bike. This may not be ideal for a number of reasons, that’s why Ridemaster will work with your chosen local repairer

where they know you and know your bikes’ history.

Call Ridemaster first and we’ll take the pain out of a bad day.”

Social Ride Etiquette

One of the topics currently in the minds of many people in the Group and in this edition of TUG is that of riding standards and riding etiquette when out on Group Organised runs. More specifically Social runs.

As an organiser of quite a few runs each year I am always mindful that we are an Ad-vanced Riding Group and that how we ride reflects upon the Group and the public’s per-ception of motorcyclists in general. This brief item is designed to act as a guide to how group riding should be conducted without removing the fun element from the ride. For the purposes of this document it is assumed that the ride will be run using the Marker System

The first thing to remember is that EAMG Social rides are for the enjoyment of ALL Group members whether they are relatively new to advanced riding or experienced rid-ers / Observers within the Group. As such, you will be riding with people of varying ex-perience and abilities. However, by using the Marker system there is absolutely no need for any rider, experienced or otherwise to ride at a pace beyond that at which they feel comfortable in order to keep up with the rider(s) in front of them. The brief given by the ride leader prior to the ride MUST emphasise this.

During the ride itself, there is no restriction placed on overtaking within the group other than that the lead rider should not be overtaken under any normal circumstances. How-ever, all overtakes must be done courteously and with respect not only for the other rid-ers within the group but also for every other road user. So pick your moments carefully and give people room. Do not overtake where you will compromise either their ‘safety space’ or their line into or through a hazard and never follow another rider into an over-take. Also, there are no prizes for fitting as many bikes as possible between other vehicles. It looks awful, is dangerous and endears you to no-one. There is little point learning how to do things correctly prior to taking your advanced test then forgetting it the moment you stop training!

If you do want to overtake when riding as part of a group, you need a clear view of the road ahead. You cannot get this if you follow the riders ahead in a line astern. So, when riding in a group you must ride in a staggered formation allowing a good view of the road and valuable stopping distance. Remember to adjust your following distance to match your speed and allow the stagger to unwind when approaching bends or other hazards – and don’t forget to readjust your following distance! One more thing to remember when overtaking – wait your turn! If the rider – or driver – in front of you is looking for the same overtake, let them make it before making yours. After all we are on a social ride not a race and it really doesn’t matter who gets there first behind the ride leader just that we all get there, SAFELY!

A Brief History of EAMG

This article was written as a result of Colin Snow’s quiz at the April 2009 group night where he asked about the history of the group. Colin provided me with the answers to those questions together with a letter written by Richard Clauson in the EAMG July 1990 Newsletter. Acknowledgement is given to this letter from Richard for providing some of the information below.

The idea of an advanced motor cycle group grew out of the Chelmsford Motorcycle Training Scheme with the purpose of providing some assistance for motorcyclists after they had passed the DSA test (then the Department of Transport). The initial impetus seems to have come from Roger Anderson but the first exploratory meeting also involved Richard Clauson and Paul John.

These three organised a meeting at the Generals Arms, Little Baddow on Monday 23 August 1982. Richard says that if a dozen bikes had arrived they would have given up, if 25 turned up they would consider the meeting a success. In the event about 70 bikes arrived with a total of 75 riders. This meeting was addressed by Terry Friday from the Kent Advanced Motorcycle Group.

After the meeting a motorcycle group was formed as a sub-section of the Essex Car Group with affiliation to the IAM. It must be remembered that in those days there were many fewer car and bike groups than there are now. The first IAM dedicated bike group was Kent, formed in 1980, and even Chelmsford did not have its own car group until September 1996. However, this arrangement did not last long and on 21 September 1983 EAMG became a group in its own right. At this time there were only three bike groups in the country, Kent, Essex and Manchester.

EAMG was the very first IAM bike group to adopt the National Senior Observer qualification and the two first senior observers were Dave Iszard and Clint Bardwell.

Early in its history EAMG acquired the use of Channels for its meetings. It is rumoured that this was arranged by Malcolm Avery (or was it Roger Anderson?) who turned up at Channels in full police uniform and made the request. Only later did Channels realise it was a bike not car group. This relationship with Channels was strengthened in the early nineties when EAMG had a trophy made and sponsored a golf competition; this competition continues successfully to this day.


Some of the early members who are still with us and we see regularly, ignoring life members, are Chris Reed, 1984; Colin Snow, 1987 and Dave Iszard 1987. There may be others.

As late as 1997 there is record that our president was still joining the group for social rides. When this ceased is not known but he has not done so since 2003.

In February 2003 the newsletter was renamed TUG (Take, Use, Give (information)) a name devised by George Brown and a heading that certainly makes the front page of the newsletter stand out from other similar publications.

At the extraordinary AGM on 7 December 2004 EAMG members voted unanimously to de-affiliate from the IAM. For some time the committee and senior observers had been unhappy with the training methods prescribed by the IAM, particularly with regard to the post test training, and it was thought that the then recent introduction of the Skills for Life package would make many prospective members reluctant to join the group as it was just too expensive. This meeting was attended by officers from the IAM hierarchy but they were unable to explain why the EAMG training was wrong or to propose any suitable compromise, hence the unanimous vote. The de-affiliation became effective on 1 January 2005.

Since 2005 EAMG has operated as a limited company with charitable status and with the legal responsibilities carried by the officers of the group. It now has competition from the Chelmsford RoSPA group and the Chelmsford & District Advanced Motorcyclists group and although the group no longer has the benefit of the IAM organisation to assist with recruitment, nevertheless the number of members and the influx of new associates has remained about the same, only falling in 2009 due to the general economic down-turn. Training methods still follow the Police, RoSPA, IAM system but standards have, if anything, improved; this is partly due to the flexibility de-affiliation gives and partly due to the training given to senior observers from an outside organisation, this training works down to the high standards of all the observers. The group is now able to train riders for either the IAM or RoSPA tests.

Games for grown-ups!

Playing games isn't just for children. Setting aside the "Football, more important than life or death" theory, there are a number of games you can play to help im-

prove your riding.

Pick and choose from the list below. You will find that some of the games build on

earlier exercises, so there are benefits to working through in order.

You may also find it helps to print this out and carry it with you for roadside refer-

ence, although there are 'armchair' exercises to do in the comfort of your home!

Where In The World? If you've recently taken a CBT or test-level course, then you will probably have been en-couraged to ride about a metre out from the kerb, or in the centre of your line. Real-world riding suggests that moving across the lane width can have significant benefits - but also serious risks.

Enter, two mantras: Safety - View - Advantage Safety - Stability - View

It doesn't particularly matter which you use, as long as you understand what you can gain from each.

Safety. Children are warned: "Run away from danger". For you, a grown-up, thinking rider, this means keeping as far away from danger as reasonably possible, e.g. if there's a car in the junction to your left, move across to the right of your lane. If there are two hazards (add an oncoming car to the example above) then separate them either in time, i.e. change your speed so that you only encounter one at a time, or distance, i.e. go equi-distant between them.

Stability. Choosing the best surface to ride on, i.e good tarmac rather than oil, gravel, horse . . . dust, or sunken drain covers.

View. See and be seen. One classic example of this is following HGVs, several of which now sport warning signs: "If you can't see my mirrors, I can't see you". Try to make eye contact with other road users; if the driver at the junction mentioned above can't see you, it's far more likely that he will pull out! A more extreme example of 'View' is positioning for corners, which is really beyond the scope of this 'game'.


Advantage. Again, this is slightly more involved, but one example is adapting your fol-lowing position to overtake when leaving a bend, using the advantages of an earlier view and the bike's superior acceleration.

In the second version: Safety - Stability - View, Ask yourself how you chose the posi-tion in the lane width you're riding in. Then 'project ahead' and choose - or plan - where you want to be, rather than deciding when you get there - by which time it's really too late to decide that you really ought to be somewhere else!

Mark My Words Councils often go to great lengths to help road users, by erecting signs, placing 'cat's eyes' and painting markings on the road. Unfortunately, those same road markings may not give quite as much grip as good tarmac.

This game involves accuracy in your riding, as well as forward planning. Building on 'Where In The World', start to really choose the exact place on the road for you.

If you're riding towards a hazard for which the council have painted 'SLOW' on the road, ride between the painted letters rather than over them. After all, if you're braking you may need the best grip available.

Of course, to avoid these markings you will have to read them . . . and ponder on why exactly the council have bothered to paint 'SLOW' on the road. Don't get so engrossed in the game that you forget to watch what's happening in front!

Keep Out Of Line As a variation on 'Mark My Words', when changing lanes try to avoid line markings or 'cat's eyes'.

P.S. With both these exercises, don't get so fixated on the road surface that you ignore everything else happening around you!

Pick A Gear, Any Gear Keeping your speed constant, change up and down the gearbox. 2-3-4-5-4-3-2

By careful choice of revs, and care with the clutch, you should be able to make your changes without any noticeable change of speed. This exercise is good for extending the life of your chain, sprockets and clutch. It will also improve the journey for your pillion passenger.

Give yourself a mark from 1-10, for how smooth each gear change is, and try to be aware of what affects this.

Ink Bottle Building on the smoothness of 'Pick A Gear', imagine that there's a bottle of ink on your pillion seat - without a lid (and that's not 'without a safety helmet').

Try to ride smoothly, so that the ink won't get spilt. Gentle acceleration, smooth gear-changes, ease the brakes on and off, come to a halt carefully avoiding that sudden, fork-compressing stop as you lose the last few mph. Known as 'taper braking', it involves gradually increasing and easing off braking pressure.


Again, this will also improve the journey for your pillion passenger.

Coal/Ink to Newcastle So you're getting smoother at carrying that ink around, now start to reflect on your riding at the end of each journey: where could you have been smoother?

Drive Yourself Around The Bend! One of the easiest ways to improve your cornering is to 'drive' the bike around each cor-ner. There's two elements to this: 1. You need to finish all braking or gear-changing while the bike is still upright and travel-ing in a straight line; 2. Opening the throttle as you lean into the corner (remember that cornering with the throttle closed is effectively braking around the bend).

Using these two points means that you brake while the bike is most stable, and corner with the throttle open, which gives good weight distribution (taking weight off the front so it's less likely to slide) and can increase your ground clearance..

To achieve both 1 & 2 you may find that you have to brake earlier and more firmly than usual.

Whether or not you are comfortable with opening the throttle is one way of judging the accuracy of your choice of speed for the corner.

To start off, just notice whereabouts you open the throttle, with the bike still upright and in a straight line, just as you start the turn, or do you corner with the throttle closed? Does this vary between corners, perhaps 'open' or 'blind' bends? When you change the point where you start to 'drive', does the bike seem more 'comfortable'?

No Brakes? When you've got 'Drive Yourself . . . ' off to a fine art, build in an additional element of good forward planning. Try to identify hazards (actual or potential danger) earlier so that you don't need to brake, just close the throttle, then arrive at the corner (or other hazard) at the correct speed and ready to to open the throttle.

As before: use the brakes if you have to, remember that 'engine braking' means using the engine to slow you - not the gearbox, only change down when the revs have dropped, then use the throttle to match the revs with your road speed.

Funky Chicken "Tense, nervous, headache." Remember the T.V. advert.? Well, tension in your shoul-ders while riding a motorcycle will initially cause discomfort, then pain. Worse still, it will adversely affect your riding as you will not be allowing the 'bars to move when the bike wants to balance itself. Another potential problem is that if your shoulders are tense you are far less likely to steer easily, and you will tend to feel that you are 'fighting' to get the bike to go where you want it to be.

Unfortunately, you can't stop tension happening, or just make yourself relax. What you can do is 'mark' your tension level, on a 1-10 scale. By being aware of tension you can start to overcome it.


So, you need to watch for the signs of tension - a 'death-grip' on the bars or straight arms and tense, raised, shoulders, for example - then tense even more and release. If in doubt, do the 'chicken' to check: your arms should be 'loose' enough that you can 'flap' your arms!

Although the easiest way to explain counter-steering is as a 'push' an the bars in the di-rection you want to turn, it's often better if you can keep that arm relaxed and pull back on the other bar. When cornering, try to keep your arms relaxed, particularly the arm on the side you are turning to, the 'inside' of the turn. It may help if you lean slightly for-wards as you start your turn. Depending on your bike, you may be able to sit slightly further forward, which will also help to avoid the 'straight-arm syndrome'.

One instructor I've met calls this sort of thing 'Zen motorcycling'. Another well-known instructor will chant "Relax, relax, relax . . . " through your earpiece, in a soothing voice! At Cooper Bike Training, during our 'Born Again' courses, we encourage riders to have a comfortable, relaxed, riding position. To remind them we quote the American expression 'Loose as a goose'.

Are you uptight, chicken, Zen or goose? Keep a check while riding!

All Together Now: 'Drive', 'No Brakes' & 'Funky Chicken'! So: at the start of the turn, turn your head and look where you want to go. Press - or pull back, you choose which works for you - on the bars, and roll the throttle open, all the time keeping 'loose'.

Swoop-de-woo! Occasionally the council will paint direction arrows on sections of road. Usually they'll be on the approach to junctions to indicate which lane you should be in. In other locations they probably suggest that drivers could be confused by the road layout, and might head the wrong way. However, they may have an unintended benefit for you as they can be a great place to practice counter-steering (see 'Funky Chicken') at 'reasonable' speeds. Don't scare the daylights out of other road users, please!

Time To Spare? Here's the one for a quiet few moments at home: You will require a comfy seat, a watch, and a good memory.

Think of one of your 'best' roads, the one you regularly use for a 'clear the cobwebs' ride. You're going to ride a few miles of that road from the comfort of your armchair! So sit down, check the time, close your eyes and imagine riding down that road . . . . . . and when you get to the other end, check the time again. Did it take as long to imagine the route as it would to ride it?

If not, what have you missed? Go back and 'ride' through it again, this time in detail and in 'real time': think of each gear-change, braking point or throttle movement, every change in the road surface, every side turning, change in camber, bend & twist, any pub, shop, school or house entrance, all signposts, road markings or diesel spill.

The armchair ride should take at least as long as the real ride - if it doesn't, where are the 'blanks', the sections of road where you've not noticed the details? Next time you ride for


real, slow down and fill in the gaps, seeing the detail is the key to good observa-tion. Then ask yourself "How could that affect me?"

If you're interested in becoming an instructor, this 'ride recall' is probably an essential skill to develop, in order to discuss and assess a trainee's riding. It's also a great way to im-prove your own riding, rather than just sitting there without a full awareness of what's going on around you.

What If? This game has been around for many years, but is about to become well known as a result of a recent pair DSA videos (one for car drivers, the other for motorcyclists).

It's a variation on the Roadcraft 'Observation Links', and involves asking yourself one question, many, many times. Whatever you see, ask yourself "What if . . . ?" For exam-ple, as you approach a blind corner, and are about to try and get your knee down, ask "What if there's a broken down car around the corner?" and choose your corner entry speed accordingly.

Another variation is: How Can That . . . ? As in "How can that affect me?" Try to be as imaginative as possible. Could a low flying aircraft have any effect on you? Probably not, but if you've noticed it then other drivers may have done too. Are they still looking at it? is it taking their concentration away from you?

So ask "How can that affect me?

Follow My Leader 1 One of the key points of 'Roadcraft' is that you should always have "Time To Re-act". And one of the easiest ways to loose your reaction time is following to closely be-hind the vehicle in front: it's easily done - you're eager to get on, so gradually close-up, losing the gap and reaction time.

Use the 'two second rule'. The basic principle is to watch the vehicle in front pass a par-ticular point - for example, a drain cover - then count the seconds. There's a couple of easy options: "One thousand, one, two thousand, two", or the old TV advert favourite: "Only a fool breaks the two second rule." If you pass the same marker before you've finished counting - and be honest, don't say "One thousand one, twothousandtwo" so as to finish in time - then you're still following too closely.

Then ask yourself: "Is there a benefit to me of being this close to the car in front?" If you're not looking to overtake as soon as possible, it may well be beneficial to you to increase your following distance, and create a bigger safety margin.

Improving your riding is often about honesty, responsibility and self-discipline: if there's something you know you ought to be doing, then it's up to you to do it. No-one else is to blame if you get caught out.

Follow My Leader - 2 Been practising FML 1? Now test yourself! As the car in front goes over a manhole cover or mark in the road, see if you have sufficient time to react and avoid it (usually


caveats about confusing other traffic etc.). If not - you're still too close!

Talk To Yourself Personally, I find that talking to myself is one of the best ways of getting a sensible re-ply. However, this variation is from typical car 'advanced' training, where the driver gives a commentary, demonstrating to the instructor how far ahead they're looking, what at, and how they intend to react to it.

Look as far ahead as you can - remember that 'Time to react', and talk - or yell - out to yourself what you can see and ("What If?" & "How Can That?") how you intend to react to it.

At first you may find that by the time you actually talk about something you're already passing it, but with practice - and looking as far into the distance as you can - this should improve.

You may also find that you have too much to think about. Two things you can do, first is to prioritise, the second to abbreviate.

Ain't no stopping me now . . . This a game to help develop your planning. In involves keeping going.

No, that doesn't me riding through red lights or over 'stop' lines. Like using the brakes in the 'no brakes' game, if you have to stop, then stop!

What it does involve is trying to arrive at junctions and roundabouts just as there's a gap, arriving at a parked car on the left just as a gap in oncoming traffic allows you to over-take, and arriving at red lights and pedestrian crossings just as it's safe to go through - although beware of practising your slow-riding skills so much that you build a long queue of bemused or annoyed drivers behind you who just don't know what you're doing.

There's another version of this 'Tag no-stopping'. If there's two of you out together, one leads until they have to stop, then the other takes the lead.

Nodding Dog The 'nodding dog' just sits on the car parcel shelf, permanently agreeing with everything and everyone.

Your task for this game is to shake your head. Not always, just every time there's a side turning. As you approach the side turning turn your head and look for any early warning of emerging vehicles, which might be visible through gaps in hedges or walls etc.

You can also use the same principle when approaching tight bends: look 'across' the bend, perhaps you'll see an approaching car through gaps in the hedge.

Now take this a big step further. 'Where in the World' and 'No Brakes' encouraged you to look as a far ahead as possible, but at the road itself. Now look either side, but still in the distance. Widen your view. Can you tell by the shape of fields and hedges, or gaps in trees, where the road goes. Can you see a group of trees at the side of the road, with telegraph wires disappearing in the trees? If so, there's a house in there. Houses mean people, cars, children, footballs, dogs. Where's their gateway? Does it have high


hedges or walls? Is there a mirror opposite?

Spot The Difference If you've taken any type of rider training, or driver improvement course, you will probably have been told 'Improve your observation'. Well that's easy, isn't it? Here's one way of 're-training your eyes':

Most of the time you 'see' things, particularly detail, with just the very centre of your field of vision. Around the edge, your peripheral vision, is very good for spotting move-ment. Are you aware of how much you can 'see' around the edge?

Sit comfortably, then look at a mark or point on the wall opposite. You will notice that most of what you see in detail is in a very small area. Without looking away from that point - although you are allowed to blink! - gradually be aware of everything around that point, and move your concentration further out.

When riding, use that peripheral vision to attract your attention to objects that are away from your main 'view'. But remember: where you look is where you go, so if you look at a hazard for too long you'll steer towards it! Look for an escape route instead.

Way out, man It can be a good idea to have an 'escape route' planned before you need it.

This develops the 'What If?' theme, and rather than just concentrating on, for example, being able to stop within the distance you can see is clear, brings in those situations where you don't have enough time to stop.

So, if that car driver sat waiting in a side turning hasn't actually seen you, what are you going to do if he drives out? Can you stop, or swerve (do you know how to, have you practised?), or will you hit the car whatever you do?

Can you look for a 'soft' option? In 'car' terms this means the front or rear of the car, the crumple zones, rather than the mid-section crash-cage. Is there an escape route which might involve a hedge, rather than hitting a car?

How about jumping? This is likely to be a far better option than hitting the car! See else-where in 'Articles' for more on this.

To an extent, this is 'last ditch' stuff - but if you leave it too the last moment you won't have time to look for an option and put it into practice, so it has to be planned before you need it! You have to be a pessimist - expect trouble and plan for it, then be pleasantly surprised if the driver doesn't pull out. But realism says that drivers can, and do, pull out, so have a continuously-developing plan in place.

Wondering where all these 'games' are from?

'Drive around the bend' originates from the MSF (in the USA) who teach 'Slow, Look/Lean/Roll' for all cornering. Add in the 'No brakes' game and you may have Keith Code's Day 1 from the California Superbike School! 'See and be Seen' is also heavily emphasised by the MSF.


SSV & SVA depend on which Police driving school you listen to. 'Keep out of line' is in one of Dave Jones' books. 'No Brakes' has been around for years . . . The ink bottle originates from Jackie Stewart's Formula Finesse 'balls on the bonnet', via Sir John Whitmore's RAC Superdriver. (CSM had a good variation: blu-tak an egg cup onto the rider's helmet, place one fresh egg, set rider off around tightly-cornered cone layout, stand well back) 'Loose as a goose' MSF again; 'Zen' is from a 'Rapid' instructor; 'Chicken' is from . . . ? 'Time to spare' based on Keith Code's track version in Twist of the Wrist. As with so much in his books, track techniques can be adapted to road riding, but you have to be sure about what you are trying to achieve. 'What if?' again, originally from MSF, now the title of DSA videos. 'Spot the difference' is part of the 'Smith Cumming Sherman visual road search system', from the Driving Instructors Handbook, and possibly elsewhere. The SCS is a five-part system, which can be expanded to six with a motorcycle-specific 'keep level-headed' prompt, i.e. although you may be leaning your body into a corner with the bike, keep your head upright. Spotting tension and awarding a 'mark' is from cognitive behavioural therapy, another type of CBT! 'Ain't no stopping' from Steve Fox (of Kestrel FM fame), who I managed to beat by cheat-ing - using a long-cut (as opposed to a 'short cut') which bypassed an awkward junction. 'Swoop-de-woo' suggested by Gerry, a Hampshire traffic officer.

A new editor for TUG

I am planning on handing it over to a willing victim at the next

AGM (Feb 2014) so if you are interested or know anyone that I

could bully into it please let me know :)

I have enjoyed working on TUG but I don’t think it is good for one

person to do it for too long and would like a little spare time back

to do other things.

If anyone wants to know more about what is involved then I will be

more then happy to help. I can be emailed at the usual places or

talk to me at group night.

Look forward to hearing from you

Laura

PS Don’t worry if you are new to the group either as it has proved

to be a great way to get to know people



Have you ever wondered if your riding skill is still as good as it was when you passed your IAM or RoSPA Test?

Is your RoSPA Retest fast approaching and you feel you’d like a refresher to check that bad habits have not crept into your riding?

We are all only as good as the day we are actually riding our bikes. How good our riding was last year or even last month may not be as good as we think it is; com-placency can be fatal.

EAMG provide two Further Training Schemes for Full Members:

Full Member Training (FMT) – One-day training courses available four times a

year

Further Training for Full Members (FTFM) – Assignment to an Observer for 1

to 1 training

These courses are provided to check riding skills haven’t deteriorated, for those wishing to take a higher grade of test such as RoSPA or for those preparing for qualification as an EAMG Observer.

Full Member Training

Four FMT Courses take place during ‘summer time’ between March and October. Participation is entirely voluntary and those taking part do not have to join each ride. Training is for your benefit and enjoyment; it is not a mandatory requirement that you go on to take a RoSPA test. To ensure the highest possible standard, Ob-servers undertaking this training will hold a current RoSPA Gold certificate.

You will not be riding in one large group. Where possible you will be riding with an Observer and one other Full Member giving you the opportunity to have a 'rest' while your partner is being observed. Every effort will be made to match your riding experience, ability and aspirations with your partner, any miss matching being ad-dressed at the first refreshment stop. The routes, approx. 200 miles, will cover a variety of roads and include several debriefing stops and two refreshment stops. Joining details will be sent by email or post a few days before the event. Events this year:
