AMCC ART 17 April (Last of the season!)

[Kiwi Graham]

Yes everyone the last day of the season has rolled around.

Sunday 17th April at Pukekohe is your last chance to attend an ART day this season before we start up again next spring, dates TBA.

We have the legendry Graeme Crozby (Croz) New Zealands very own Larrikin Biker as our 'Star Instructor', he will be there to impart his knowledge both theoretically and practically and will of course have a few books there.

Come along and challenge yourself and improve your skill level, the spring is a long way off and winter will be a good time to put into practise the knowledge you will gain.

As is always the case many places have been already taken (these days always sell out, with a waiting list) so book now http://www.amcc.org.nz/uploads/richassets/ART%20April%202011%20Entry%20Form.pdf

If your unable to make it but plan on being out and about anyway, drop in and see what it is we do, observers and interested parties always welcomed.

more details as they happen, as always happy to answer any questions.

[Kiwi Graham]

Group 2 sold out and a reserve list is now running.

This is our last of the season and we intend to make it a good one so dont delay in completing your entry forms and getting them into us as soon as possible.

We will be having give aways and spot prizes on the day too as well as displays and book signings by Croz.

Some of the local National riders will be there to help us deliver a little bit more to the mix of instructors we already have.

If you cant make it out on the track but want to see what goes on come on in and take a look.

Anybody leaving from North Shore and wanting to ride down in a group?

Last time we had a few people limping back with us - worthwhile having a bit of support there and back.

Cool, thanks for the advice :niceone:

Dunno about the weather, I'm not giving up on it yet!

So my prediction is this - the weekend will have long dry spells but wet periods are possible too. Don't plan for a dry weekend, don't plan for a solidly wet one.

[Kiwi Graham]

The weather gods look like they are doing there best to make the day a good one for us http://www.metvuw.com/forecast/forecast.php?type=rain&region=nzni&noofdays=2#
See you all track side.

[Latte]

To add to the positive vibe on the weather - looks good on the rain radar

Awesome day (despite the weather). Of course, any day at the track is a good one. Anyway thanks to all the art people involved in making it happen.

Thought id gone a little better than i had hoped. Was quite pleased with it for first time on pukekohe and in damp/wet conditions. Of course, as is so aften the case, photos show a different story and quite clearly i should have taken more of an opportunity to get some assistance/guidence on body position. Oh well guess ill be back when these kick off again.

[Kiwi Graham]

The last one this season was a great one again.
Thanks to every one that has come and joined us this season.
Far too many people to thank for their input this season, we seem to be getting a bigger and bigger, rest assured every one involved has had a great time too.

Highlights for me as always is watching the difference in confidence and ability from the start of the day to the end.

Keep your eyes on the web site for up coming info and see the pics we took http://www.amcc.org.nz/home.

Also Damien got some great shots of you http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php/137006-Photos-ART-Pukekohe-17-April-2011

And soon to follow will be some more pics from High side Photography www.highside.co.nz/home.html

We will be back in the spring, put into practise what you have learnt, stay safe out there and see you in a few months.

[R-Soul]

Yes thanks all! It was a great day and well organised. As much fun as you can have with your clothes on (and then some). I'm saving for the next one already.

[p.dath]

I'd just like to add to the thanks and express my appreciation to all those who make ART day possible. Thanks very much.
