Hi everyone,
Very excited to be picking up my first bike on Friday, a 2017 Triumph T120, and want to do some slow manoeuvre practice in an empty car park or such area to really get used to the bike and develop key skills. Does anyone know of anywhere suitable on a week day?
Thanks

Hi Ben, welcome to swb.
You may find it tricky these days as carparks seem to be either busy or policed by rent-a-cop security teams.try riding the roads either early in the morning or later in the evening when they are quiet. That may you're learning in a truer environment.
Good luck with it either way and don't forget to post up some pics.

Smaller industrial estate roads work well, especially on a Sunday evening. Me & the Mrs used a local one a few times for her to practice for her mod 1 test and no one ever bothered us.
Just get on Google maps Ariel view and street view to find places near you that look promising.

Inner circuit road(s) on a Friday afternnon / evening are pretty slow.
Have you noticed that anyone going slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster is a maniac ?

Hi and welcome from Bristol. Shop carparks Sunday afternoons after shops close. But u left the general area pretty big as said industrial estates out of hours are usually good.
