KB Mentor programme

[Joni]

As most of you know KB set up a mentor programme a while back, this programme was the help new riders gain valuable riding skills from the more experienced riders on KB.

KB has grown so much, and with all the growth a few problems/issues have been raised by several members of KB, plus a few of the Mods regarding the current structure we have. Over time it has become clear that the current way the KB Mentor Programme is being run, no longer suits the site requirements.

So, over the weekend, it was decided to dismantle the mentor programme entirely and re-do it in a way that leaves KB far less open to some of the problems it currently has. From today, there is no “official KB mentor programme”. We have removed everyone from the Mentor list for now and will let everyone know in this thread how we will be moving forward.

Watch this space… we have 3 of our most experienced riders, putting there heads together to ensure new guidelines are put in place that will carry the Mentor Programme forward, and ensure that KB can help any new riders that require help across NZ.

So in the mean time, all “mentor” rides, are just normal rides for a while… it would never stop members form helping others, it just wont be on an official KB capacity for a while.

Huge thanks to all who have helped thus far, especially Quasi…

We will keep you posted!

Being the total newbie that I am...(I don't even drive so riding a bike and learning from scratch is a huge accomplishment for me). I have found the mentor system very good.....Thank Mstrs & Micro so I for one am very interested as to what you are going to come up with.

I would like to see Race/track mentors as well, Its allways good to pit with some of the senior crew when your first trackday/race can be very overwhelming

Good suggestion. I will pass it onto the guys to look at.

Stickchick - I agree the mentor programme has helped many.... and has been great. We plan to make it even better and slightly more "air tight" this time round.

Don't ya have to actually ride to call yourself a noobie...?

There are no drama's, no "legal problems" - we are just re-looking at the mentor programme, which has needed some attention for a while now.

Sounds good to have a refresh of how this worked ... I have always found that re-evaluating things on occassion helps to put things into perspective and make things work better

I'd be very keen to be mentored, I've been feeling a lot less confident with my riding as I haven't ridden as much in the last few years. Good job team
