Easter Saturday Methven Mountain thunder street racing

[darkwolf]

If anyone is keen to meet up I will be at Caltex on the corner of Russley Rd and Yaldhurst Rd on Saturday for a 0900 departure. I plan on going via Darfield and Windshistle on this route here http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=ch...via=1&t=m&z=10

If anyone is keen to go then meet just before 0900. If the weather is bad then I will take the short way via SH1 and Rakaia.

Ride by the Yaldy on the way through. Jason (ZX636) from the track day and I will be there waiting.

I went for the 6F test last year and the only hard part was having to do it in heavy rain. I still passed first time round though.

Apparently the full license test is easier now since the new driver licensing tests came out a few months ago. Just remember to turn your head enough for the instructor to see each time you go past an intersection to check for traffic. Don't stress about it too much. Relax, take it easy and you'll be fine.

PS. Make sure you come to a COMPLETE stop at a stop sign. Put both feet down and check both ways for at least a couple of seconds. If you don't do this you'll fail the test!

Was easy. Didn't even have to tell him the hazards i saw.
Only thing he mentioned is that was riding in the right hand wheel track of the cars infront of me and that its too far to the right. I should be in the centre of the road when its dry......So much for ride right ride safe eh?

Where you were is safer.

[brp]

Where I like to ride, can see what traffic coming your way is doing better.

Whats your take on why it is safer ?
