Your profile says your on an 1100, are you a returning rider?

Yeah...had the xv for a coupla months now...loving it...been off and on scoots for the past 20 or so years but this is a return to motorcycles per se after maybe 15-18 years...lovin it but the roads are different and the drivers are completely blind so any advice welcome...

"Shorty"?

I like the look of the offset slalom.

Same here! I also thought of a variation of the old 'figure 8'...

Did you see that fella throwing the Bandit around at 3:01?!

Ok, peeps.
I am looking for some volunteers to help me with my CBTA1 (Competency Based Training and Assessment) trials. I need about 20 riders.
These riders would IDEALLY have been riding for a few months, and be near the Restricted Licence test standard, but if they are higher or lower, or on any bike licence, I can use them as well.
If you have had some training, or not, that's ok too.

If you are interested in helping to make the roads safer for motorcyclists, then please contact me to make a booking.
My approved test route is in the Rodney area..

You might be asking yourself, "What's in it for me?"
Several benefits really......
A chance to have an honest assessment of where your riding is at, at the moment..(on a bike, you don't get a second chance to get that overtaking/cornering manoeuvre correct)
Secondly, the chance to help make our roads safer for those who love to have the wind in your hair, and the flies in your teeth ;-)......
And each participant will be entered into a draw, for the chance to win a SUPER DUPER PRIZE PACK....

Can I please ask you to share this with your biking mates, or on the walls of groups, such as Mag New Zealand, Facebook bikers, New Zealand Motorbike Riders, other KB forums, so I can get a broad range of riders through the assessment.
If anyone would like to undertake some training prior to the assessment, then please contact me, sooner,, rather than later...
www.rcsom.co.nz or rcsom@xtra.co.nz or PM me, through FB or KB
