[DML1498]

Good afternoon,

I am currently aware that Staffordshire County Council have in place a pre motorcycle training course. I believe this is classroom based, and gives guidance to prospective students and parents of the younger riders de using whether to learn to ride.

I have a copy of one of their introduction packs which I would be happy to forward onto you.

Hi Andy

Thanks again my thoughts were along the same lines, just confirmation I guess from a third party.

Hi Andy

Also forgot to say I was asked as the Police dealing with the collision have apparently prosecuted him for excess weight contributing to the collision.

Hi Andy thanks for the response the motorcyclist in question was involved in a serious collision and eventually a friend of a friend has asked if the extra 1kg in the top box is most likely to have been a major contribution to the collision. It was a single vehicle and the central Armco barrier. My view was that such a small additional weight would not had adversely altered the handling. As you say a heavy passenger would have more input in the dynamics of the handling of the motorcycle.

Thanks

Dave
