Another tough day

Had a good rest yesterday and a very good nights sleep, so were out training again today.

Spent time playing with the tire pressure, it was at 30psi, but now down to 21psi.   This is giving a lot more feeling to the back wheel when I am doing the skid turns and also when in the mud.   

Wim, the owner of Wim Motors Academy has been the person training me.  Such a nice man.    He says I have excellent balance, which is really good when you lock your rear wheel up when turning.

So this is me on my first attempts at skid turning.   Hopefully I can get some better videos of me doing it properly.   So the idea is to skid around each tire in turn.   Approach the tire, pull the clutch in, turn the handle bars and as the bike starts to turn lock the rear wheel up by pressing hard on the rear break (rear break is operated by your right foot).   Then as the bike skids round, lift off the break, let go of the clutch and accelerate to the next tire and do the same again.

Problem with all this hard work is that your boots get all smelly and mudy, very, very, very smelly and your cloths soaking with sweat.    Not nice.

Trousers having a good airing...........
