Alas just doing the training day and not using the info and skills you may have improved on seems a little pointless, Regular professional training days are highly reccomended they are a good place to network and heaven forbid you may even learn something.

I go back to do training courses every 2-3 years and recently did a couple with Stay Upright, one at Mt Cotton and one at Queensland Raceway. It's amazing what the trainers will pick up even if you've done courses before. It's so easy to fall into bad habits and it's always good to take your riding to that next level. I agree!

This is the best way as firstly you get the right advice, and secondly it is a safe place to practice the skill of cornering. I remember my first visit to Mt Cotton and when given the right information and time to practice you cornering skill WILL improve. Training is something you need to revisit some times and is recommended to a "Returning Rider".
