Teaching newbies to ride.

....I'm taking the ERC on the 13th of May. Practice doing slow maneuvers can't ever be a bad thing. I'd like to try a track day next.

The UK system is far far more expensive, currently approx $750 around my area as I recall!
The UK system or DAS as its called involves students actually getting out onto the highways in small groups with an instructor so they have some experience of street riding before the licence is awarded.
Only the CBT (Compulsory Basic Training), basicaly cone work, is restricted to an off street area.
