Nigel Bowers is alive, fit and well

I know it might seem a strange way to address a blog, but there have been certain stories circulating around the Stoke on Trent motorcycle stops, that I am not very well and not doing motorcycle training. Nothing could be further from the truth. I am very busy and here I was at the Classic Corvette weekend at Huntingdon, last weekend the 27th and 28th June 2009.....

Support from Fuchs - Silkolene oil

Can I take this opportunity through the blog to thank Richard Barrett from Fuchs Silkolene for the support he has given Advanced Motorcycle Training.Com. He has enabled me to now run the Honda VFR 800 using Fuchs Silkolene products.
Thanks for the day out as well......

Youtube - Making contacts

Thank you to all my Youtube subscribers - It would not have been possible without out you to share experiences, hints and tips about motorcycle touring without you.....

The power of Youtube and the use of video - Advanced Motorcycle Training

As you know I have been on Youtube a number of years now, with the present scores on the doors of 211 video uploads, 1,044 subscribers and vids have been viewed 1.6 million times. What started off as a wild idea has developed into a visual training aid for a vast number of riders all over the world. Now and again I have the opportunity to actually meet some of the subscribers and on Sunday last I met up with Bentleybloke aka Mark from the Wirral. Yes we did some training and Yes we did some video and Yes it went onto Youtube:

Here is the link - Advancedbiker meets Bentleybloke

Mark has kindly posted a comment about the ride, quote,' Hi Nigel, I know i have just posted a video thank you but I would like to put it in text too! THANK YOU for the training today it was brilliant. As the info says on the
on-board video footage above, I have been watching your videos for a long time. I like many others have learnt a great deal from your You Tube stuff. I am doing my advanced training and found I was having information overload, the two hours with you answered my questions plus corrected my faults... I can now but only improve!' and even a video........

See it here : Video from Bentleybloke

To all you Youtubers who support my vids a BIG THANK YOU
