Craig has piloted a new type of teaching
academy at Silverstone circuit working along side the Focused
Events team who are leaders at Track day events in
UK. The academy is called "The Trilogy Tour" and
is based on aggressive low speed handling techniques,
front wheel stoppie techniques, wheelie techniques, race
track cornering techniques and race circuit track time.
British Super bike stars Steve Plater or Niall Mackenzie
give expert and first hand personal tuition on race circuit
cornering techniques.
The west Midlands Traffic Police force teach slow machine
control and braking distance theory all as part of their “Bike
Safe” initiative. All techniques are based
around Buell & Harley-Davidson motorcycles supplied by
Craig in conjunction with Harley-Davidson Silverstone
dealership,
Towcester, UK.
Craig has also been very successful in working with
South African, Dutch, Danish, Italian and Japanese Buell
customers in their respective country markets. Craig
has been able to connect with riders and readily pass
on
his skills to ultimately improve a rider's ability.
Comments by Harley-Davidson Silverstone
"I'm over the moon with all the success and
feedback from the Buell Academy
so far. It has been a invalable tool to help promote
the Buell brand to our
customers and new interested prospects.
There is so much more that everyone can get from their
machines and with the
expert tuition from Craig, Niall and Steve, everyone has done just that!! Lots
more to come in the near future too, its a really exciting time for Buell."

Police Comments
"Dear Craig
I would like to express my gratitude for allowing
Bikesafe staff to attend your rider skills academy,
it was clear that what you were teaching to the students
would enhance their overall safe machine control. We
were also grateful for the opportunity to have a two
hour input in the programme based around police riding
skills. I anticipate that subject to management approval
this will be the start of a continued joint venture
where West Midlands Police work with you in the goal
of making riders safer through education. The Craig
Jones brand would also be of great benefit in promoting
Bikesafe and by association attracting future students
for West Midlands Police Bikesafe events."
Yours sincerely,
Marcus McCormick (Roads Policing Officer and coordinator
of West Midlands Bikesafe) and acting on behalf of Richard
Breeze (Traffic Forensic Collision Investigator and joint
coordinator of West Midlands Bikesafe)
