You might have thought that riding a motorbike is beyond you, think again. With a bike ready for you to try, the Bike Experience Charity can give you a half-day course at Castle Combe Race Track, which will show you just how easy it is to carry on riding.
The Bike Experience Charity have a number of motorbikes, which have been adapted for use by any paraplegic. Talan, who founded the charity, will be one of the instructors taking you through the day. He is a T4/5 complete, so if he can do it, YOU CAN.
There are three Levels to go through, should you wish to. The first is the basic experience, which gets you back on a bike and the second gets you riding around a track. The third gets you ready to join in a track day with 50 other riders, having taught you the subtle differences between riding now as opposed to full able-bodied riding. It also gives you a code of conduct for track days, as developed through consultation with circuit owners and track day companies. Once you have been awarded Level 3 part II, you will be offered a FREE TRACK DAY with Focused Events.
Welcome to ‘The Bike Experience’
“After getting back to the pit lane, reaching a whopping 113 MPH on my last lap, I had a grin ear to ear under that helmet of mine, which stayed there for days after.”
“I never thought after my accident i would ever feel the adrenaline rush of being able to ride again, but the bike experience definately proved me wrong!”
