Nutts - Phillip McCallen and Jeremy McWilliams Riding Skills Academy
A recent Nutts Corner track day brought lots of silly grinning - great craic.
Run by Philip McCallen Motorcycles with instruction from Philip and a big hero of mine Jeremy McWilliams.
You thought you were going well until you noticed that up ahead Jeremy was going round the corners one handed, looking over his shoulder at the riders following him.
