Sorry, I don't quite know what you mean...?

Opps sorry - it says the course is "suitable for those who are:
- On their Learner or Restricted Motorcycle License
- Have just recently acquired a Full License
- Have just recently returned to Motorcycling after a long absence from riding"

I am just wondering if I would be able to attend as I have a full license but have had it for a little while now.

Thanks

More focused towards the Novice and Returning Rider but you may find some skills in there that may be helpful to you. There is nothing to stop you from attending if you so wish :)

Bluerider and I will be in convoy up. If anybody wants to hook up let me know. Just a note the Auckland Marathon is on tomorrow so traffic over the bridge will be rubbish. We will be going round the North Western Motorway.

Looking forward in learning how to get my knee down.

i had good day today, and enjoyed the slow handling course quite a bit, even if i am unable to ride towards a human being waving left/right :facepalm:.
the ride following through the lovely NZ country side was good, and what was trained on the carpark was easily applied. The constant feedback was really helpful.

i would not mind to do a regular training thingie with you guys, but I can't really join NASS, as I am already going to SASS.:shutup:

can only recommend the course, and might go for a second one. (i really liked the slow handling course, tis was fun!)

Thanks to all who participated last Sunday. Ive been over the ditch since Monday so haven't had the chance to update or reply on the thread...

We will be looking at improving on:

Focusing on getting more hands-on time conducting slow speed manuevours and will officially extended the course to 4 hours as we believe we just cant do it all in 3!

Definately good value for money $50 for a minimum 4hrs with the rest paid by ACC thanks for the feed back Adam

Good course today. I was a little late due to unforeseen issues. :facepalm:

But always good to learn more!!

2 times today I almost had an off. Neither on the course.

First one on the way. A 4wd stopped in the fast lane with me and other cars following. I managed to stop and get past while cars slid all over the place.

The second happened after the course. I was going over Peak Rd and a Chevy Impala decided it didnt need to stop for a one way bridge. I managed to stop and get out of its way.

Guess the training in these courses works. :Punk:

A huge thanks to Steve and Dawn at Rider Training.

I did my BHS with them and I think they got me on the right path from day one. I also did 2 of their Confident rider courses. These picked up on things I was doing wrong and corrected them. To date I have not crashed, fallen over or had any real scares and I put that down to the training I have received. I’ve ridden about 25000ks now.

I breezed through my Restricted and Full tests. I would recommend them to anybody and they are amazing value.

Thanks Guys
Rob.
