Either I’m a badge collector, or I really value road safety (or I’m a glutton for punishment), but I’ve registered to go along to the introduction session for the last course of the year with Edinburgh Advanced Motorists.

I’m hoping to benefit my car driving (obviously) but mainly my bike riding by learning how to do a proper commentary which will hopefully improve my observing even more for the motorbike.

I’m going to bite the bullet and get the clutch replaced on the R1100RS which should improve my confidence no end for overtakes and other accelleration situations. The fact it slips in 4th and 5th is really annoying, and I’ll get the gear position switch fixed at the same time too. That should sort the RID (Rider Information Display) display which only shows 2 or 3 at optional times.
