Welcome to the February Review from E-YARD! A quiet month overall, but members were still out and about in weather that varied from monsoon to blizzard and everything inbetween. Associate member Carolyne treated herself to a new set of wheels, choosing the wettest week of the year to pick her beast up! This didn't stop her racking up the miles though, and put some other members to shame! Training continued through the month with both car and bike tutors being kept busy as new associates undertook their training and current ones continued under the watchful eyes of Dave P, Jules and Rosie For the motorcyclists a deal was struck by E-YARD with Visorcat, a wash-wipe system for visor clearing wh
Well E-YARD has driven and ridden and ridden through winter, with December Progressive Driver courses, New Years Eve (and Day) rideouts, January bike and car training, social rides through the winter months, but, the day before Spring starts the weather has beaten us. Due to the 'Beast from the East' we have had to cancel the monthly group meeting. With heavy snow possible, and forecast around the time of the meeting, along with -3 to -5 temperatures, as a road safety based organisation it would be wrong to potentially place members in danger attending the meeting. Simon's presentation will be rescheduled. Apologies for any inconvenience caused, but your safety is paramount.
E-YARD monthly group meeting is scheduled for Wednesday night - 28 February, at East Coast Motorcycle World, commencing 1930hrs This month we welcome Simon Weir, the Editor of Britains most popular motorcycle magazine, RiDE and author of numerous guides to travelling around Europe, as well as being a RoSPA Gold qualified rider who has been actively involved in promotion of advanced riding for several years. Simon will tell the group about the magazine, production and tales from his travels! It should be a good meeting, something a little different and interesting. Let's give Simon a big Yorkshire welcome - he loves the roads round our area, let's show him we're a friendly bunch too!
Mid winter. Post Christmas. Dark nights. Short days. Horrid weather. Newsworthy? Not normally, but this is E-YARD. After the Christmas and New Year period, the expectations were, understandably, low for January. However, after a New Years day ride out with a couple of members, it became business as normal as a new recruit came on board. Welcome to John Burton, who was taken out by Julian and Chris for an assessment on some interesting roads and conditions! The Motorcycle trade had their annual Expo at Stoneleigh Park, West Midlands, and E-YARD were one of three groups asked to represent RoSPA as part of the MCIA (Motor Cycle Industry Association) on the Knowledge stand, along with DVSA (Driv
