Advanced Motorcycle Training Helmet Camera 2003
Early footage using the helmet camera and Autocom for the first time. The rider had just had the Honda VFR 800 VTEC after years of riding British motorcycles. His bend assessment was a little weak at the start, but it did improve. He tended to be too fast into the bends, resulting in him having to slow whilst in them. Not ideal.... He was only with me for one hour. There is commentary

Looks to me like the guy was still following his CBT instruction of “stay in the middle of the road”
He did get better though, which is good!
Concurr. Lots of Clipping the apex and the lines were not opening up the view point and so on and so on. The sound is stuffed too.
When I first started with video, the sound did not work very well
so when you do the cbt training, they tell you to stay in the middle of the road?
he means middle of your lane bud!
In the cbt we do tell novices to dominate the road position yes. You have to understand the CBT is just that Compulsory Basic Training. We do explain road position for bends and touch on vanishing points but we are more concerned with observation . New riders have enough to think of without the complications of taking bends at speed. Remember a CBT rider will only ever be on a 125 at most . When we teach DAS we go into vanishing points and entry and exit points in detail.
