    New Ride Forever DVD

    Well I think its new!
    I have just picked up the latest Kiwi Rider and its got a new DVD with it.
    Even got good old pete (crashafromwayback) in it.
    Has had a quick look here at work & looks like a great tool form honing the skills.
    Totally different from the other ride forever dvd that works on group riding skills.
    Big ups to the crew that will get this put to the masses with the mag. Well done & I look forward to watching it properly later on.
    May the road rise up to meet you.
    May the wind be always at your back.
    May the sun shine warm upon your face.

    I just did the same! Went to the garage for junk food and came away with the mag, and just watched the DVD. It was good, especially seeing as I had just been for a ride on the trusty GN. I liked the format of it, and the fact that it wasn't just watching 'perfect riders' show us how it is supposed to be done, but real people riding real roads.

    A guy at work came running to see me, saying that I have to watch crasher trying to pick a fight with some yobo in a cage - Now you just can't get that sort of entertainment everyday!!!

    Just watched it, highly recommended viewing for new and experienced. I think it really could bring up a few things for a lot of riders including myself to think about.... if you're not to arrogant to think you're above it all.

    The Kiwi Rider mag that the DVD was included with only costs $10.
    I'm pretty sure one of the other Nelson KBers will have it sooner or later. If they don't then I might see what I can do.

    Well I finally watched the whole thing.
    Bloody interesting really. Great to see different riders of varying skill levels ride together and interstesting responses from the judging panel.
    Petes comment was a classic. I have thought it plenty of times but never told a driver that through his window.
    I think its a great dvd for all riders to watch.
    May the road rise up to meet you.

    Yes, plenty of examples of how not to ride a bike.

    Just watched mine (seeing I'm a KR subscriber got it in the mail) and yep she made the DVD all worthwhile along with seeing Pete on a Honda. http://tvnz.co.nz/view/page/434905/982246

    Aaron will be pleased too because he became a world champion on this DVD.

    Certainly a few things to think about with it but I chuckled to think ACC put this together but at the end are all the disclaimers about what the judges said etc.

    Did you notice KBer VXRider was one of the judges http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/member.php?u=9553 ?
    Cheers

    I watched it last night and have to say I learnt something, mind you thats probably not that hard to do for me.....

    I think it's a worthwhile effort with good pointers for all of us, the tricky bits going to be applying the knowledge!

    Good DVD - certainly a lot of food for thought!

    I loved when Aaron did the huggie - Dan certainly didn't like that!

    Yeah I went out and brought the DVD and mag......
    Have also watched it....... was great to spot the mistakes/error's when riding a bike.

    Well done to all those involved in the making of this dvd.

    Congrats to the winner of all the gear too.

    The judges gave out some good pointers......

    So it is worthwhile for all riders to watch it.


    Shame crasher didn't ride the Harley around the track thou...... thats what I looked forward to seeing.......




    Right now I suppose I should now go and read the magazine...

    I chuckled at the irony of me having only just come off ACC after my nasty Wanganui biff only to be paid by them to help this film about motorcycle safety! And as a footnote...I'll ride anything for $700 a day. I'd pay $700 dollars to ride...opps..never mind.

    I would've happily ridden the Harley there...but because of Aarrons connection with Honda...it was Hondas all the way.

    No shop mentioned, as it could've been an honest mistake...but the VTR 1000 they originally made me ride felt really scary even before I'd reached the first corner. I went straight back in and asked one of the crew to go to a servo and check the tyre pressures. It had 62 psi in the front...and 48 psi in the rear! I asked them if they really did want the thing taken back to them in a wheelbarrow. I can crash perfectly well WITHOUT outside help.

    As you were!

    And merry X-mas everyone!

    Pete
