@eddpost Meant to say glad you're still biking, what are you riding?

[Geoff Pretty @GeoffPretty1]

@eddpost Done mate. Hope you're still biking?
All the best.

@DriveSafeHR When slowing down using the throttle and someone is close behind, consider pressing gently on the rear brake pedal; even if you aren't braking it informs the driver behind, thus helping to maintain your safety bubble.

@beckers1000 He heard what happened to Incy Wincy!

@ChelseaFC I didn't know that Marc Cucurella's father played drums for Wizzard on 'I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day!'

@classicbikeshow Max Biaggi - super smooth.

@carltonkirby My dog talks. I asked him how was feeling and he said, "Ruff"

@DriveSafeHR A biker must always be aware of what's behind; when slowing consider a light dab of the rear brake to let them know.

@carltonkirby @carltonkirby Have I told you about my pet long-tailed amphibian? I call him 'Tiny' because he's my newt!

[Geoff Pretty @GeoffPretty1]

@ABTransComm Completely agree; as you head out for a ride imagine you are holding 2 keys, one for the bike & the other for your brain. Until you switch off the ignition you can't switch off your brain.

@carltonkirby Hello Carlton,
As always enjoying your commentary.
The albatrosses (albatrossi?) & polar bears are conspicuous by their absence; I was hoping, however, to see a bull or two on a hill. Where are they all?

[Geoff Pretty @GeoffPretty1]

Great ride with my associate this morning, top quality.
Nice mid-ride snack at the Pathfinder cafe & headed back.
Then the monsoon hit! We both got soaked through; associate coped so well with the conditions, definitely ready for cross-check & on to the test. Well done!

[Geoff Pretty @GeoffPretty1]

Lovely ride with my associate this morning, top quality stuff. Couple of minor tweaks next week, then ready for cross-check & on to the test.

[Geoff Pretty @GeoffPretty1]

@NorthamptonIAM @NextbaseUK @IAMRoadSmart If this happened in front of me, I would aim my bike at where they had come from, not to where they are heading; a greater chance of missing them.

@thecarfactoids @neilmbriscoe @t2stu @DarraghMcKenna @TopOfTheTower @StvCr @MotoringArchive @autocar @Carpervert @RoadHouseMotor Fond memories of the quartic steering wheel!

@ABTransComm @ABTransComm I always tell my trainees they have 2 keys when approaching their bike; one for the ignition, the other for their brain. Don't switch off the brain until you switch off the bike.

[Geoff Pretty @GeoffPretty1]

Conducted a @tvam_uk cross-check this morning; a lovely ride by the associate, now ready to take their @IAMRoadSmart advanced test.
