All HAB members are invited to the above event at Tockwith Airfield this Sunday.

Where and When
A Slow Maneuvering Workshop will be held on Sunday 28 April 2019 from 9.30 to 12.00 at Tockwith Airfield accommodated by 3D Motorcycle Training School. The airfield can be found by taking the B1224 out of Wetherby and taking the left turn at the crossroads after Bickerton. The entrance is on the right about ½ mile down the road.

Don’t blink, you’ll miss it!

On arrival wait at the 3D Cabin until you are collected.Under NO circumstances should you cross the training area.  You will be collected by one of our Observers and cross as a group. Please by patient, THIS IS IMPORTANT!

Who Should Attend
Everyone! All members of HAB including existing members who have passed their test and particularly associates under training. All riders need to exercise these little used and often avoided skills. There is room for friends or relatives of members who are interested but please inform Bob Hill in advance. We expect several Observers will attend to assist with the training and they should meet at the 3D Cabin at 9am.

What will we do?
We start with a short introduction about slow riding with some hints and tips to keep you upright in this aspect of riding or moving your bike. We will then split up into small groups under an Observer who will take you round the various set exercises. Once you have refreshed your slow riding then you will be free to practice on the exercises laid out. Finally we will hold a short voluntary competition around an interesting layout. Some of you may also wish to go on an impromptu ride following the workshop.

Facilities
3D have kindly agreed to allow us to use their toilet facilities and have tea and coffee making facilities available. The nearby Carting Track may also be open and if so their Café will be available. The weather forecast is up to 15 deg. light cloud and a gentle breeze. So be prepared! Pack the rain suit?

If you have any questions about the event or want to receive training on a specific part of riding please contact me.

See you all there,

Best Regards,
