Had a solo run out this morning to test my shoulder after some recent physio. Some improvement but a wee bit to go yet. What’s not to like though?

We’ve supported Charis working towards her RoSPA test in one capacity or another since 2018. With her triennial test on the horizon again it’s time to break out the Pledge and yellow duster for a little polish.

Might say double digits but felt much colder than that this morning.

Had a 50 mile assessment and introduction session with Malcolm who came for some advanced training less than 12 months from passing his DAS test with Lowland Motorcycle Training.

Malcolm has to be applauded for seeking further training early and helping himself to be safer and to get the most from his biking.

Bill Coulter travelled from Aberdeenshire to complete some training with us. He was seeking a condensed course to build on his previous exposure to advanced riding input and to gain a recognised advanced riding award. After some discussion he opted to complete a BMF Blue Riband Rider award.

The final element was a visit to Prestwick to meet examiner Jim Yair and complete his assessment which he did successfully securing a GOLD AWARD.

Well done Bill.

This weekend it is anticipated that there will be an increased number of motorcycles travelling on the A75 and A77, as spectators head to Northern Ireland for the North West 200 🏍️

Thousands of visitors from across the world are expected, and road safety remains a key priority.

Dedicated patrols will be carried out on these routes and riders are reminded that it's not a race to get there!

Drivers are also urged to 'Think Bike' and stay alert, particularly at junctions and areas with reduced visibility 👀

Well done to Alistair Ross on passing his BMF Blue Riband Advanced Rider Award earlier today. He rode well and secured a gold award.

Alistair is a fairly newcomer to bikes having passed his test in 2025. What is noteable though is the approximately 10000 miles he has covered on two wheels since then.

That level of commitment served him well during his training and is reflected in his award today.

Thanks also to examiner Jim Yair for conducting the test.

Congratulations.

Different day, different Alistair.  This Alistair is coming to the end of his training input and his advanced test is on...

Different day, different Alistair. This Alistair is coming to the end of his training input and his advanced test is on the horizon. A 120 mile session today to acquaint us with some Ayrshire roads and only one hail shower to contend with. Happy days.

2 Local Roads mentioned in the same breath as Mount Olympus. Praise indeed?

Carlingwark Loch looking, momentarily, a bit grey, today. Not the highs of yesterday but we did get a decent 18 degrees, a good amount of blue sky and sunshine. A hundred plus miles for a decent session with Alistair. Ran a bit over because someone’s clock on their bike hadn’t been adjusted for BST ! However time flies when you are having fun!

Okay. Full disclosure. This photograph wasn't taken today but I was out training with Alistair this afternoon refreshing his systems. Due to circumstances beyond our control we haven't carried out any training since October last year so it was good to be back on the bike. It'll still be a week or two before we're back running as normal but there are quite a few entries in the diary already so it's looking positive.
