Whats the one thing you wish they taught you at biker school?

And next week kids we will learn clutchless upshits and downshifts

Totally, I mean, why not?

When you get used to proper rev-matching technique, clutch-less shifting is just a matter of doing exactly the same thing while being smooth on the gear lever and not using the clutch.

I've got clutchless upshifts sorted, downshifts not so much! Work in progress

Can do both its quite easy tbh, but if you have a slipper clutch it would be faster to use that aha

Simply put, hazardous road training.. I'm pretty satisfied with the training school I put myself through.. They were very knowledgeable, friendly, etc.. but there was no hazardous road training. When I was first learning to ride, I had to ride over a lot of washed-out roads with rocks/gravel on them. It took some getting used to, but I've gotten the hang of it..

I was pretty happy with the school I went with, I have since recommended to a few people. They took time out to work on the slow speed stuff I was struggling with and new what they were talking about. However it's all very urban training, not a lot about how to assess bends, dealing with dodgy roads etc.

I suppose that's what advanced training is for though, I just think when you look at crash stats rider error on these types of roads factors highly...
