[johan]

Is it Honda bikes only?

[325rocket]

from what i understand its open to everyone but if your bike is an inferior brand you pay slightly more. :innocent:
if your not a honda riders club member its $125 (i think). Aaron Slight and Hayden Fitzgerald will be on site.
should be a cool day.

Rider Development Day with Aaron Slight, Manfeild, November 22, 2009
Thank you for your registration of interest in the HRCNZ Rider Development Day with Aaron Slight at Manfeild. Aaron will be joined by Hayden Fitzgerald and Craig Shirriffs, so there will be a wealth of riding knowledge for you to tap into.

We will be at the track for sign on from 8.30am. Please make sure that you have all your safety gear with you; one or two piece leathers or cordura jacket and trousers, helmet, gloves and boots. We strongly advise the use of a back protector too. Please note that jeans and shoes are unacceptable and you will not be permitted to ride.

We will run three groups on the day;
A. Fast road bikes with the track bikes
B. Experienced road riders
C. Intermediate road riders

A note on insurance: Those insured through HRCNZ and the Hondasure scheme will be insured in the road bike only groups. Faster and experienced riders on road bikes are permitted in the A group, but this will be at the riders own risk. No track bikes will be permitted in the B or C group, these are for road registered bikes only.

Please when you fill in the indemnity, make sure you fill in the group you wish to ride in. If that group is already full, we will advise you. You will receive a sticker at sign on which will identify the group that bike shall be ridden in. We reserve the right to move riders between groups as we deem necessary.

Payment:
Cost of the day is $100 for HRCNZ members, $125 for non members. These are pre registered prices. If there should be any places available on the day, these will be available at $125 for members, $150 for non members.
Your place will ONLY be reserved upon receipt of your payment and indemnity form. The indemnity form may be faxed to 07 377 4216, or scanned and emailed to rob@hrcnz.co.nz
Bank details for internet banking are; GR Holdings Ltd, BNZ Albany, 021244 0007027 00

Please use your name and MFD2211 as the reference

Catering:
There will be tea, coffee and cold drinks provided all day. A catering van will be on site later in the morning and over lunch time selling hot food.
We look forward to seeing you on the day. In the meantime, if you require further information, please call Rob on 021 408 901.

Not sure if that was a serious question or a piss take. If serious, there is one a week earlier at taupo so that would be a lot closer.

It's about 6 hours towing a trailer. 3ish hours to Taupo and then another 3ish hours to Feilding.

Manfield rocks though - being from Auckland it is so worth the trip down there!

How are these run? 50 / 50 classroom / track split?

Rolling sessions throughout the day of slow, med, fast. Sessions normally 15-20mins, No classroom bullshit to bore you just good ol riding experience. Craig, Hayden, and Aaron circulate around the track during the sessions and the idea is to get on the back of their wheel and follow their line.

Usually after lunch they are available for a bit of 1 on 1 coaching if required

[7mmWSM]

Is it Honda bikes only?

Any brands welcome....even Ducatis. Could be good practise for up coming tri-series for any racers out there

[7mmWSM]

I will turn up on the day if the weather is ok. Insurance is sorted so now I just have to decide on the night before if I'm going or not.

Anyone from Aucks/Towelronga going with space for another bike? Last year (http://honda-motorcycle.co.nz/?p=104) this was after the PMCC (practise, race + honda riders day = 3 fabulous days of riding around in circles!) but can't be arsed with the drive myself for just one day.

[7mmWSM]

Weather should be ok, latest forecast I've seen is showers saturday night but should have cleared by Sunday morning.
