Auckland Motorcycle Club puts on a good course too.. (Ok I'm a member and had to plug it!) Craig is good value too.

I used Rider Skills last weekend to do my basic skills test.........would also recommend him as a good place to go.

$65 for test only or $110 for 1 hour lesson and test.

I learned to ride offroad (taught by my hubby who is a loooong time off road rider). I found the basic handling skills test a bit of an eye opener really!! I'd not realised just how different off road and on road riding techniques are. If you are like me, and learned to ride off road, I would suggest a training course just to give you the low down on "correct" techniques. Now roll on some fine weather and I can get the baby out on the road...

Yeah I can second that - Phil did the basic handling test with a mate of mine and they said he was great as well... patient and thorough.

He also does advanced riding courses too, for people who want to up their current skills. So they cater for riders of all levels.
