Ladies Skill Day At Thruxton With Maria Costello

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

IAM (institute of advanced motorists) ran a ladies only skills day at the Thruxton Race track featuring Maria Costello, it is not everyday you get to ride on track with one of the fastest women around the Isle of Man TT circuit! I have got to say, it was an incredible experience. This video is about that day, what I learnt, and the reasons why you should never look directly at the cone...
I wanted to say thank you to all those that organised it and to the instructors, my riding improved thanks to the great coaching and advice I received.
If you have been to a skills/ track day, drop me a message and let me know where you went and what the experience was like. Thanks for watching, and I hope you subscribe to see the upcoming videos.

    Wow! Those brand new tires after one day at a track!? Haha awesome! I can so tell you were looking right at the cone and stared it down the whole way lol it happens to everyone. And look at you go making a run a Maria Costello! 🤣. Looks like such a great time. Cant wait for my first track day!

    Great video. I could never book on an IAM skills day, despite being a member --- they are so popular! But I've managed to do a Hopper Better Skills Day at Caldwell Park, and an MSV novice-only track day at Snetterton. They are both awesome circuits.

    She really was, I sat and had lunch with her and simply loved how down to earth she was, and funny! They gave her a high end BMW track bike (the only track bike allowed on track that day) and she refused it, she wanted a bike with mirrors to be able to see and engage with us learning on the track! I told her I had video footage of overtaking her and she took it in great fun! The instructors and Maria made the day phenomenal!

    Great video, my riding has improved so much since I got myself a track bike. It's mighty fun and much safer than riding on the road.

    There is such a big difference between riding on the road and track, I found when I was on track I could concentrate more on the bike and less on worrying about other road users, you are right, it really is so much fun!

    lol! Indeed! Bloody cones! I was so pleased I didn't go over the handlebars! My instructor, Alice, was behind me when I did it, when I spoke to her after the session she said I was lucky! Thanks for all your nice comments, I am pleased you have been enjoying the videos!

    It really was brilliant, and I can now understand why people have a dedicated track bike! I would do it again in a heartbeat. Thanks for watching and taking the time out to comment.

    I have just completed my first year with a curvy SV and it's ( nearly ) all your fault! Excellent bike. A classic. Thanks for the videos and sharing your experience.

    Add it on the list, then go and book it! They tend to fill up pretty fast, I was very lucky to get a last minute place, but I would not leave it so late next time. I learnt so much from it, I would recommend it to anyone.

    Wow! I am impressed at how observant you are! The incredible folks at Weise have given me some of their loveliest kit to wear- and I have to say I am very impressed! Because the fit is so good, my confidence soars and it makes the whole motorbike experience so much better! There is a video on its way as I wear them in different scenarios, but in the meantime, here is the link to what I am wearing in this video... Spohia leather jacket (www.thekeycollection.co.uk/2018/product/weise/leather_jackets/wjsop14/?c=948) + Boston Jeans Black (www.thekeycollection.co.uk/2018/product/weise/textile_trousers/wjlbos63/?c=933)
