The one-day course caters for riders of all experience and, through on-track and class room lessons, aims to improve bike control and knowledge whilst gently introducing them into track riding.

3. Arai RX-7 Corsair - Hayden Replica

Nicky Hayden ended Valentino Rossi’s five years of dominance in MotoGP, clinching the title at the final round of MotoGP last year. Prestigious helmet makers Arai allow you to emulate the young American with a new replica of the Honda rider’s bold and sparkly design. The top spec lid is one of the toughest shells on the market and features a removable washable lining, quick release visor and multiple vents.

4. History of the TT 1907 – 2006

The fastest road in the world. For two weeks every year the Isle of Man closes its roads for the best riders to battle it out, curb to curb. Last year the outright lap record edged to within 0.55mph of averaging 130mph around the 37 mile lap! This DVD pulls together a century of historic sights and sounds – unmissable!

5. Kriega R20 backpack

It may be an unusual name but these motorcycle specific rucksacks are trusted the world over. The new for 2007 R20 includes the unique Quadloc harness - a quick-release fastening system designed to spread the pack’s load from the shoulders. As well as being fully waterproof, the sack features a reservoir allowing drinking on the move and a 10 year guarantee.

£59 www.kriega.com 01829 741223

6. Öhlins TTX36 rear shock

Yes it’s a spring and, at over a grand, it’s a dammed expensive one at that! Öhlins are the Rolex of the motorcycle suspension world, that flash of gold and yellow at the back of your bike proves you mean business. Or that you’re flash. It is exactly the same used by seven time MotoGP champion Valentino Rossi. There are more combinations of adjustment available than found on the Queen’s safe.

£1010 www.harris-performance.com 01992 532 501

7. MPS Dry Nitrous Kit

Want an extra explosion of power at the touch of a button? Of course you do. Need a good excuse to justify it? Of course not. Strap a tank of N2O, better know as Nitrous Oxide, to the bike and connect the relevant wires to the bike’s fuel injection system and you’ll never be beaten away from the traffic lights again. Even by a missile.
