BMW Offroad School review
By Jon Urry on 25/10/2010 10:13:32
It’s one of the best-known off road skills schools in the UK, catering for all levels of ability. But even the BMW off-road school hadn’t witnesseth incompetence of the scale Urry accomplished
, which really pisses me off. Why the hell can’t I do it?So, when the chance arose to spend a day with the guys at the BMW off-road skills course, I dug out my off-road kit and headed to Wales.The first thing that strikes you about the school is the level

By Colin Goodwin on 21/10/2010 16:26:03
It’s a one way ticket to motorcycle Nirvana and the respect and adoration of all your mates. We all want to do it, but only the chosen few can. Time to go back to school...

California Superbike School Supermoto review
By Jon Urry on 05/11/2004 16:16:12
You put your left leg in, rear wheel out, in, out, in, out, slide it all about. And that's what supermoto is supposed to be all about...
it in requires some skill, and preferably someone else's bike to bend.Which is where the California Superbike School comes in. More commonly known for its road racing schools, the supermoto school follows the same routine of classroom theory sessions followed

By A.J. Stevens, Luke Ponsford on 01/08/2005 15:14:22
