Well, it's amazing how much money people will spend to get their bikes to go a bit faster, stop quicker and keep it good looking. An advanced training course does all these, yet will cost you less than a race can, a Dynojet kit or sticky tyres, loads less than bigger brake callipers and add more to your safety than a new helmet.

This is the only reliable accessory that you can take from bike to bike, won't depreciate and lasts a lot longer than those sticky tyres !

You already know how much fun you're having with your bike but want even more. Or maybe you're a bit intimidated by the damn thing and want to "tame the beast".

Learn to ride smoother, faster and yet safer; with more confidence in your ability and also with your machine.

Get The Edge in our view, it's the toughest Advanced Rider Qualification you can go for. It's backed by the Motorcycle Industry Association (MIA) through the Rider Development Research Foundation (RDRF).

BUT it's closing in Dec. 2002, after 2 yrs it hadn't reached self supporting stage and the MIA can't keep it's subsidy forever. A great shame.

For those who've got it, well people in the know (like us) will always respect The Edge, well done, it wasn't wasted.

Their ½ day test included practical, written and oral examinations covering : Riding techniques, machine set-up, group riding, scene of accident etc. but riding skills carried the most emphasis. Their test was conducted by a Police Class 1. It was pass or fail and a high standard was expected.
