4 Weeks of Police Training: What I Learned About Wet Weather Riding Lets Ride Bikes 2026-06-02 | Most motorcyclists dislike riding in the rain. Some avoid it completely. But after spending four weeks on a Police Advanced Motorcycle Course, riding up to eight hours a day in some truly awful weather, I learned lessons about wet weather riding that completely changed my confidence on a motorcycle.In this video, I share the techniques, observations and mindset that helped me become a safer and more confident rider in the wet. We'll discuss the reality of modern motorcycle tyre grip, how to adapt your riding style when conditions deteriorate, and the hazards that catch riders out every year.I'll also tell the story of how one simple comment from a police instructor completely changed the way I approached riding in the rain.Topics covered include:✅ Modern motorcycle tyres and wet weather grip✅ Increasing safety margins and following distances✅ Looking further ahead in poor weather✅ Fuel spills, diesel, oil and other road contaminants✅ White lines and road markings✅ Manhole covers, drain covers and road metalwork✅ Rural road hazards and farm traffic contamination✅ Braking techniques in the wet✅ Cornering safely in wet conditions✅ Visibility and observation skillsMany riders assume the rain is the biggest danger. In reality, it's often what the rain reveals on the road surface that causes the real problems.Whether you're a new rider, a returning rider or someone with thousands of miles under your belt, these practical wet weather riding tips could help make your next ride safer and more enjoyable.💬 I'd love to hear from you.What's the worst weather you've ever ridden in?

Is This Police Motorcycle Technique Actually Dangerous? Lets Ride Bikes 2026-05-24 | I’ve just published a new video on Lets Ride Bikes after watching a rather controversial YouTube video claiming that the UK Police motorcycle riding system — Roadcraft — isn’t suitable for everyday riders. 👀🏍️As a retired Police advanced rider, advanced instructor, BikeSafe assessor and former motorcycle trainer, I have to say… I completely disagree.So rather than jumping into arguments online, I decided to make a proper video explaining WHY I believe the Roadcraft system is still one of the best riding frameworks available for ordinary riders.This isn’t about ego or “Police riders know best” — it’s about:✔️ observation✔️ planning✔️ smoother riding✔️ hazard awareness✔️ confidence✔️ and making better decisions on the roadI also talk about where I think Roadcraft CAN sometimes go wrong… especially when it’s taught badly or too rigidly.Whether you’re into touring, commuting, sports bikes, adventure bikes or just becoming a smoother safer rider, I think you’ll find this discussion interesting.Would love to hear your thoughts on this one — do you think advanced riding systems still have a place for modern riders?🎥 Video now live on Lets Ride Bikes.Please subscribe to our channel.

Riding a Scooter Over Crete’s Mountains Is So Fun! Lets Ride Bikes 2024-04-04 | No adventure bike today: A trip around Crete. Enjoying the Honda PCX 125. Greece, with its winding coastal roads, dramatic mountain passes, and ancient villages, is a dream destination for any rider. But what if you don't have a hulking adventure bike or the experience to handle it? Fear not! Greece offers an incredible two-wheeled adventure perfectly suited for scooters and smaller motorcycles. I take out the Honda PCX 125 for a beautiful ride into the Cretan countryside. Why Choose a Scooter or Small Motorcycle for Greece?* Accessibility: Scooters and small motorcycles are widely available for rent throughout Greece, often at more affordable rates than larger bikes * Manoeuvrability: Greek streets, especially in towns and villages, can be narrow and winding. A scooter or smaller motorcycle allows for easier navigation and parking compared to a bulky adventure bike * Fuel Efficiency: With fuel prices on the rise, a smaller engine translates to better fuel economy, allowing you to explore further on a budget.* Fun Factor: Let's not forget the pure joy of cruising the Greek countryside on a scooter. It's an exhilarating and liberating way to experience the landscape.Planning Your Scooter Adventure:* Scooter Selection: Depending on your experience and itinerary, choose a scooter that fits your needs. A 50cc scooter is perfect for short trips and flat surfaces, while a 125cc or 150cc offers more power for tackling hills and longer distances. In this video we ride our 2014 Honda PCX 125cc Scooter.* Gear Up: Pack a helmet that meets safety regulations, gloves, sunglasses, and sturdy footwear. Consider protective clothing, especially if you're planning on venturing off paved roads.* Route Planning: While some stretches in Greece offer wide-open highways, the best experiences lie on the smaller, scenic coastal roads and winding village paths. Plan your route carefully, factoring in rest stops and potential for limited gas stations on more remote stretches.Hitting the Road:Greece offers a plethora of scooter-friendly routes, catering to various interests:* Island hopping: Explore the Cyclades islands like Santorini and Mykonos, or discover the laid-back charm of the Ionian Islands on a scooter.* Coastal Cruises: Take in the breathtaking views of the Aegean or Ionian Sea with a ride along the Peloponnese or Crete's stunning coastlines.* Village Hopping: Immerse yourself in the Greek countryside by weaving through charming villages, stopping to sample local delicacies and experience authentic culture.* Scooter Touring Tips:* Be Prepared: Download offline maps and have a basic understanding of Greek traffic signs. Pack a basic toolkit and pump in case of minor breakdowns.* Respect the Locals: Obey speed limits, be mindful of pedestrians and livestock on the roads, and park considerately.* Embrace the Journey: Scooter travel is about the experience, not the destination. Take your time, savor the scenery, and stop to explore hidden coves and charming cafes along the way.Beyond the Ride:Greece has so much to offer beyond the scenic routes. Take advantage of your scooter's agility to explore vibrant towns, historical sites, and hidden beaches inaccessible by car. Immerse yourself in the Greek spirit by indulging in delicious local cuisine and experiencing the warm hospitality of the people.ConclusionGreece, with its inviting landscapes, rich history, and friendly people, is a scooter paradise. So ditch the intimidation factor of a big adventure bike and embrace the freedom and fun of exploring Greece on two wheels. You might be surprised by the unforgettable memories you create on a scooter adventure.Please subscribe to our channel.
