Hi,I'm an expat Brit living in Tennessee, I've been riding since 1965, with a recent 15 year gap. I was originally trained by the local police and the IAM in England, way back when...Man, things changed in that 15 year lay off. Bikes, tires, and riding gear... I'm now an ATGATT rider, always was, but the amount of gear available when I started out was 3/4 helmet, leather gloves, boots, and a leather jacket... I'm not interested in racing, but I am interested in learning to ride better, and more safely.
