Police offer skills lessons

North Yorks police are offering classroom and on road lessons to improve your riding skills on May 15 and 17.

It’s part of the Bikesafe campaign. Sergeant Pete Mason said: “We are Police Officers, not trainers. But as experienced and highly-trained motorcyclists we are more than qualified to give our fellow riders valuable advice and tips. We can show them how we ride safely and well – and in our experience good riding is also the most enjoyable sort of riding.”

The classroom skills workshop on May 15 and 17 is followed at the weekend with a two-hour ride in the company of police and other advanced riders. You’ll get a straight-talking analysis of your riding and advice. The two workshops are both on in evenings at Thirsk Police Station. The course costs £50.
