This year the South West Region Police Forces are doing something a bit different. Following the success of the previous year's event held at Haynes Motor Museum, this year we are holding the event at Castle Combe Race Circuit near Chippenham in Wiltshire. Not only has the location moved but also the date - Saturday June 5th.


For this event we have hired the Castle Combe Circuit and all its facilities to provide participating riders with the opportunity to ride around the circuit supervised by Castle Combe’s own riders for a 15-minute session after receiving a full safety briefing, but not before completing a one-hour, on-road ride out with a Police Advanced Motorcyclist on a two to one basis.


To book for the event just print off the application form below, and send it to the address within, complete with a cheque for £25. Riders will then be notified of their allocated time slot for the ride out and track session. It is important that all fields are completed fully. Spaces will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.


Riders taking part in the track session are required to wear one-piece leathers, two-piece zip together leathers or suitable equivalent


There will be something for everyone, even if you’re not participating in the Police ride out and track experience. Local motorcycle dealers including Artdeans, Bristol Kawasaki, Bristol Motorad, Fowlers Motorcycles, Riders Motorcycles, V&J Superbikes and others will be attending with a wide range of motorcycles on display and clothing and accessories on sale. There is free parking and entry to the show and spectators are welcome.


The focus of the event remains the same as before - road and rider safety. The message is that further rider training, post test, can dramatically reduce the risk of involvement in serious or fatal incidents and reduce insurance premiums. 2009 saw a significant reduction in rider fatalities over 2008 within the Avon and Somerset force area but this number can be reduced further.


The Police ride out and track experience is open to any rider who holds a full motorcycle licence.


Due to strict legislation with which Castle Combe Circuit must comply, a noise limit of 105db applies to all bikes on the circuit.


Others attending will be:


Datatool - Hein Gericke - Kiddi Motor - Draggin Jeans - HRS - Louigi Moto - Forcefield performance - JHS Racing - MH Racing - Peak Performance - Quay Garage Racing - Razor Ltd - Redweb Security - Traveldri Plus - Urban Glow - Extreme Wheelie Machine - National Association for biker with disability - Royal British Legion Riders Branch - I.A.M. - D.S.A. - Rospa - Somerset Road Safety Partnership - West of England Road Safety Partnership.


Others are being added all the time.
