Advanced Roadcraft (Platinum)

Aimed at riders who already have a full licence, the advanced roadcraft course is designed to help you develop your skills to a very high standard, with particular emphasis on making safe progress in all road conditions.

The course is delivered by the Chief Examiner for the Institute of Advanced Motorists In New Zealand

Participants in this course should leave with a framework from which they can prepare for the advanced motorcycle test.

Why take this course?

Have you ever been in any of the following situations:

Used up another of your nine biking lives and lived to tell the tale
Tried to keep up with your mates and found yourself struggling while cornering
Misread a corner and got on the brakes to scrub off the speed
Unable to explain why the bike reacted unexpectedly
Felt your heart miss a beat as you lose traction briefly
Found yourself on the wrong side of the road when negotiating a curve
Not sure if it is safe to overtake

If you can say 'yes' to any of the above then you probably have the right mindset to become an advanced rider. Self awareness and attitude is the key to giving you full control and ensuring you get maximum enjoyment from years of safe riding.

We all make mistakes, so at Riderskills™ we have devised a course that will help you to minimise the risk to a great extent. We aim to open your eyes to everything that is happening around you!

The key elements to this course follow the roadcraft training methods used by police forces around the world.

Whats involved?

An assessment is carried out at the start of the course to get a feel for what you do well and what might be improved upon. We recognise that every rider has individual needs, and the course is developed around your own requirements so that we target your needs appropriately.

We operate on a one to one basis to allow you to reap maximum benefits from the day.
The majority of the training is practical and takes place on open roads. Bike to bike radio enables clear step by step instructions and feedback to be given in any situation.

You can expect your instructor to be relaxed and friendly - we enjoy riding too!

The following are some of the points addressed throughout the course:

How to read bends
Correct speed and position
Throttle and brake control
Advanced observation and anticipation
Overtaking

Be prepared for a mentally and physically challenging but thoroughly rewarding day - we will cover at least 200kms.

At various stages throughout the ride, the instructor will demonstrate techniques while giving a running commentary.

Course time 1 day approx. (9.30am - 4.30pm)

All riders must use their own bike (We recommend that you take this course on a motorcycle of at least 400cc)
