24.01.2022 || Apply RoadCraft || Blind crests Blind crests, like any situation where you can’t see the road ahead are potentially hazardous take care and be prepared to take action.... As you approach a blind crest, slow down and choose a road position to create space from known and potential hazards. This position should also increase your ability to see hazards and be seen early by other motorists. See more

16.01.2022 || Behavioural factors || ~Alcohol and drugs~ Don’t drink and ride drinking alcohol impairs your ability to ride safely.... Alcohol affects your vision, hearing, reflexes, coordination, balance, mood, judgement and response time. Even a small amount of alcohol increases your risk due to your reduced riding capability. You need to remember that it is not just your mistakes that become dangerous. If you have been drinking you may not be able to respond quickly to others’ mistakes. Learner riders must have a zero breath alcohol concentration (BAC), this means nothing to drink. You must also have a zero BAC for the first year after you get your RE provisional or open licence. ~Thrill seeking and riding aggressively~ Riding can be fun and give you a sense of freedom, but you need to remember that you are also vulnerable you have little protection if things go wrong. Thrill seeking, speeding and riding aggressively all increase your risk of crashing. Ride to survive by making choices that minimise your risk.
15.01.2022 Skidding! Yikes! Skidding can be dangerous so it’s important to know how to avoid a skid or how to control it if it happens. Skidding is generally caused by changing course or speed too harshly for the conditions!... So how can we minimise the risk of skidding? Riding to the conditions don’t suddenly or forcibly brake, accelerate or change direction. Avoiding or slowing down on, slippery surfaces such as gravel, road paint, oil, water and metal plates. Ensuring your tyres are in good condition with sufficient tread, and are inflated to the correct pressure. If a skid develops immediately remove the cause: If excessive braking is causing the wheel to lock up, ease off the brake and allow the wheel to rotate. When stability is regained apply the brake more smoothly. If excessive speed or harsh acceleration is causing the skid, ease off the throttle and slow down. When stability is regained apply the throttle more smoothly.

If anything changes between now and your course start day we will let you know individually. Thank you all. Please heed the warnings and stay safe.

12.01.2022 || Risk factors || Your beliefs and choices you make will affect how safe you are on the road. Riding requires your full concentration your survival depends on awareness, anticipation and judgement. Factors that can increase your risk when riding include:... Attitude. Behavioural factors. Physical factors. Social context. Riding environment. || Attitude || How you think and feel is reflected in how you act and interact with others the right riding attitude can help to keep you safe on the road. Riding defensively, anticipating potential hazards and planning your response, is your first line of defence. You must be focussed on the task of riding continually evaluating the riding environment and looking for clues about potential hazards. Anticipating other road users’ actions and dangers in the riding environment means you will be ready to respond As much as you can control your own attitude and behaviour, you can’t control the behaviours of other road users. Remain calm, create space and don’t react.
12.01.2022 || Overtaking || Overtaking other vehicles is potentially hazardous take care and never speed when overtaking. Where possible use overtaking lanes that allow you to overtake safely.... Before you start overtaking ensure you have clear vision of the road ahead and sufficient time to complete the manoeuvre. When overtaking create space between yourself and the vehicle you are overtaking.
12.01.2022 We get a lot of questions about Motorcycle gear. Which is the right helmet, jacket and gloves? Don't forget, while it is vitally important that drivers look out for riders and give you the space you need, it's also important you're doing all you can to MINIMISE your increased risk on the road.... The Motorcycle Clothing Assessment Program (MotoCAP) provides scientifically tested ratings on the safety and comfort of protective jackets, pants and gloves to help you choose the best gear for your ride. Most of all, stay safe and enjoy the ride! https://www.motocap.com.au/
10.01.2022 Today the A-Team from F45 Training Ipswich Central and F45 Training Karalee joined us to complete their Pre Learner Qride Course! Day 1 was a blast Great conditions to learn to ride!
09.01.2022 With more riders on Queensland roads, it's important to brush up on your skills to stay safe and learn to get more out of life on two wheels. Unfortunately, we all know that when the unexpected happens, it's always the rider who comes off second best in a crash. Tragically, 24 riders have lost their lives on Queensland roads so far this year*, 13 more than the same time last year.... Even the most experienced riders need to continually improve their skills. Check out the following video for further tips and tricks. https://youtu.be/s7dqsxERf-k
07.01.2022 Understanding your riding environment - Heavy Traffic Heavy traffic is something we all as motorists experience often, but as a motorcycle rider understanding your riding environment is important for rider safety. Riding in heavy traffic increases your risk of a crash due to reduced visibility, more vehicles turning and changing lanes, increased frustration levels, and exposure to fumes.... Heavy traffic makes it harder for you to see and be seen and exposes you to potentially poor decisions from fatigued, frustrated and impatient motorists. We run lessons daily for those who want more road experience. Book now! Spaces are limited.
06.01.2022 || Multi-laned roads || BUFFERING! Multi-laned roads increase your risk of potential hazards and collisions on the road vehicles moving between lanes, and potentially into your path, or stopping suddenly are the biggest dangers. Motorists may change lanes without checking for other traffic, or even if they do look they may fail to see you. ... There are no guarantees other motorists will see you if another vehicle can enter your path, assume it will. When riding on multi-laned roads be extra vigilant choose a road position to create space from other vehicles and slow down to maintain a 3 second crash avoidance space.
04.01.2022 For returning riders, getting back on the bike feels like you’ve got your freedom back but this is not just as simple as dusting off the bike, popping on the helmet and heading out on the road. Just like with any skill, practice and continuation is the key. For a returning rider and lot of attention is spent on the physical side of riding (regaining muscle memory) and less attention on the road conditions and traffic!... Lessons are available! https://youtu.be/xJyLt3DcH-Q
04.01.2022 Winter is Coming Have you thought about how exposure to weather can affect your riding? Being cold is stressful and tiring you become less alert and your response time slows. Cold riders can become anxious, irritable or detached from the task at hand.... Insulated, windproof gear helps maintain your core temperature the insulation keeps a layer of warm air between your body and the shell. Avoid gear that is baggy or too big and pay particular attention to keeping your neck, face, hands and feet dry and warm. One on one hourly lessons are available for those who want to get supervised road riding experience in all conditions! Being a practiced rider makes you a safe rider.

01.01.2022 Managing problems while riding! Have you thought about how you would handle it? In a matter of moments something can go wrong when we are riding but how do we keep ourselves upright and safe? Let’s face it, we don’t want the wobbles when we ride. ... Motorcycle wobbles are usually related to stability problems caused by excessive or unevenly distributed weight, or mechanical problems such as worn or loose bearings or worn or under inflated tyres. If the motorcycle wobbles: Keep a firm grip of the handlebars without locking your arms or fighting the steering. Gradually roll off the throttle to slow down. Gradually apply the brakes and move to the roadside. Work out what was causing the wobble and fix the problem before you continue riding. One on one lessons are available for those who need road riding experience! Call now.
