Getting Ready for Advanced Training
When you sign up for the ‘Take Control’ training on a large powered motorcycle at RMT Motorcycle Training, it’s essential to come prepared. This article outlines everything you need to bring to ensure that your training experience is successful and enjoyable. From your motorcycle to lunch plans, here’s what you should have ready for your training day.
Essential Items to Bring
Your Motorcycle
- Roadworthy Condition: Ensure that your motorcycle is in good working condition and suitable for training. It should be fully serviced and ready to handle the demands of advanced riding exercises.
- Fuel: Make sure your bike is fueled up for the day’s activities to avoid any interruptions in your training session.
Relevant Motorcycle Documents
- Insurance, Tax and MOT: Bring all necessary documents proving that your motorcycle is insured, taxed and has a valid MOT certificate (if applicable). This is crucial not only for legality but also for your safety and protection.
- Driving Licence: Ensure you have your valid motorcycle driving licence with you, as you will be riding on public roads during parts of the training.
Adequate Motorcycle Clothing
- All-Weather Gear: Prepare for all conditions by wearing appropriate motorcycle clothing. This includes a helmet, gloves, boots, riding jacket, and trousers. The gear should offer both protection and comfort, considering the weather conditions expected on the day of your training.
- Visibility and Comfort: Choose gear that enhances your visibility to other road users and provides sufficient comfort to focus on learning new skills.
Additional Items to Consider
Communication Equipment
- Radios Provided: For effective communication during training, RMT Motorcycle Training provides radios. This helps in maintaining constant contact with your instructor, ensuring you receive immediate feedback and guidance.
Lunch Arrangements
- Lunch Money: Since the training day can be extensive, bring some money for lunch. You’ll have a break during the day to recharge and discuss the morning’s lessons with your instructor.
- Treating Your Instructor: It is a nice gesture to offer lunch to your instructor, especially considering the value and affordability of the training day. This can also foster a more relaxed and interactive learning environment.
