Environment Canterbury training subsidies

[rastuscat]

ECan is stepping up to subsidize the training courses that are delivered in Christchurch. :woohoo:

This was the same deal that ACC was doing to the end of June. You pay $50, ECan pays the balance.

It's done through Mike Flowers at Mainland, Dan Ornsby at Dan Ornsby Training, and Duncan Seed at 2DriveSafe.

I'm going to offer anyone I write tickets to the choice to do the training instead. Remember though, it's only the motorcycle Popos who are doing that, and then only if they think it will suit the person. Don't just ride around like a dick expecting to have your tickets cancelled if you get caught.:angry:

It's only until the end of November at this stage, so if you want to have some fun and learn some skills for bugger all dosh, get in touch with Mike, Dan or Duncan.

PS I don't get any donuts from promoting this. :weep:

I'm keen for another one of them since I can't even keep my bike upright in a stationary position :facepalm:

[Oakie]

Yep. I'll be doing something along those lines. Just gotta find the course that fits best. Taught myself to ride from reading a couple of books 34 years ago and just piled on experience since then. Be nice for someone to review what I'm doing.

I might even have a bike going in time to do one of these:woohoo:

[rastuscat]

I did the Duncan Seed one, coz it's based on the Roadcraft system of bike control.

Mike and Dan are a bit more race oriented, though I'm told their courses are now more road based.

Any of them are great, and it's cheap for what you get. I mean, $50 wouldn't even cover my donut bill for a fortnight......

Cheers for the heads up RC. I'm getting things sorted to get in on one of these again. I'm certain (more than if that's possible) that I've forgotten one or two of the lessons taught at the last one I attended.

Yeah I,ll be up for that....I was going to do the advanced riding course before I left poverty rock but had to leave earlier than planned for another contract elsewhere and at that price you learn one thing and its paid for itself....any chance of a telephone no. for them ?

Cheers Rastuscat, will see if my work mate wants to come along and do one with me :yes:

Havn't done one of these for years! (loved the previous training course's...lots of fun and lots to learn)

Always good to get a refresher in and learn some new skills etc...and all for $50 = a great day out riding & learning :yes:
