There were riders there with a wide range of experience (5 to 40 years riding experience) and we all took away something new to add to the knowledge basket.

Besides, with good old ACC sucking the lifeblood out of my bank account each time I renew my bikes rego, it seems like a great way to recoup some of that cash back for me.

I'd highly recommend taking the opportunity to do one of the courses before the ACC subsidy is withdrawn. Fingers crossed they extend the programme.

Safe riding all

As to when, it depends who you book with, when they have space and when your times match up. How much depends on how much you do. ACC subsidises your first course, whatever it is.

We still have a very limited number of spaces available before the end of June with ACC subsidy. Check out our confident rider course and scooter training.

Our on road courses are always ONE on ONE so we will not ask you to share your training course with up to 5 other riders. You will have our FULL attention at all times. We will listen to your requirements and assess your riding so we can adapt the course around your skill level. If you need advanced training that is not a problem, all riders will be coached at a level that is appropriate to their needs.

There will be no extension beyond June so this is the last opportunity to get the highest quality training available at discounted prices. Scooter riders are welcome too.

Individual training - Highly qualified instructors - ACC subsidy

Book online at http://www.riderskills.co.nz and mention KIWIBIKER on the booking form.

Had a subsidised sesh with Phil of Riderskills this arvo-thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend. Patient but able to break things down for ya. Pointers-check ur bashfulness at the carpark, come armed with questions and give it a go. I came away with several things to work on..and some tips that i found helpful. End result-bit more relaxed and confident about how i ride and how i handle my bike. I intend this to be an ongoing process in skill acquisition, ergo...in a few months i'll have hopefully mastered this set of pointers, so will go back for another sesh. Thanks Phil, hope i wasn't too shocking.:niceone:

I did it with Phillip as well, and he is great. I hope he didn't have too many nightmares afterwards!

I had an excellent session with Phillip last week, one very patient tutor... and so vey knowledgeable.

He has completely changed my riding lines and everything amazing really.... I for one will be doing more courses with Phillip to ensure I execute the training he has given me.

Did mine today, very, very worthwhile. Thanks Phil. :clap::clap:

No matter the cost one on one training like this not only shows where you can improve (I certainly have things to work on!:facepalm:) but it really can be a life saver. :2thumbsup
