We finished The Bike Experience's first season with four paralysed riders coming to learn how to get back on a bike. We were fortunate to have Mike "Spike' Edwards come along as our guest instructor. He and his good lady wife have put together this video which shows exactly what we do on one of...

I'm there as well. Looking forward to it, and keeping fingers crossed for dry weather. Will be up in the garages (as I need to be up there to launch safely). Booked in Inters. See you there. Talan

This wednesday, at Castle Combe, is the last Bike Experience of 2011. We are hoping to finish off the season with four riders, which is a huge step forward from the first event where we only had one. If you'd like to come along to help, let me know by adding a comment to The Bike Experience facebook...

The past two Bike Experience events took place in a short space of time. Last Sunday saw the charity head to RAF Odiham for the first time and on Wednesday the charity was back at the familiar stomping ground of Castle Combe. A total of nine riders attended the two events, so it was a busy time for...

Triple Header. It appears the word is spreading….the word that there is a small group of people who will show you how the impossible can be possible. Popularity and demand have meant we had to try a triple header, we had to see if it was possible to run three students at The Bike Experience. The stu...

Have sent a few pm's.

We start at about 8.30/9am for the launch crew, and will wrap up by 2pm. Venue at Castle Combe, two riders coming to each date in July, so need six in total.

Cheers

Wednesday 22nd saw the fourth running of The Bike Experience. Jeremy and Dan were the two riders attending this event, both were riding for the first time since their accidents and for Jeremy this meant the first time in 29 years. The day started off wet and windy, so not ideal conditions. After the...

Hi there, The Bike Experience will be running three days in July: 6th, 20th and 27th. We need Launch Crew volunteers to help with all the days. Please, if you can spare the time, contact me via pm or email (tskeelspiggins@hotmail.com). Thanks to all those who helped yesterday, you made both riders f...

Yesterday we had the third episode of The Bike Experience. Paul and Chris were the two riders, both of whom were paralysed 17 years ago. Paul was there for Level 1 and Chris for Level 2. The rain came down in buckets during the morning 'paddock' session where the riders learned to work with their La...

Had a fantastic day with you all. Thanks to everyone who helped from spannering to getting me on the bike and launch/catch. Hope that Ed and Dennis are both healing up quickly, thankfully it wasn't any worse for either of you. Looking forward to meeting you again soon. We are always on the lookout f...

That looks truly mental. I was scared for the rider just watching it.

Hi there and welcome to the site. Are you the friend of Scotty I have been hearing about ? Hi, thanks for the welcome. I know a few Scotty's, but is this a Scotty on this forum? I wouldn't want to own up to knowing someone I don't!! Have also just sent you a pm about the Llandow track day on 3rd Ju...

Hi there, my name's Talan, living in Bath, just joined and am introducing myself. I ride a GSXR 750, GSXR 600, SV 650 and Husaberg 501, not all at sometime though. Only ride tracks, as I had to promise my parents I'd never ride on the road again, having been paralysed from the chest down in a bike a...
