Edumacational dvds

[Ghost Lemur]

Anyone have any educational dvd's they could lend me "off site backups" of?

Road riding or off road doesn't matter.

Being a total newbie, am I wanting to learn some skills.

Yes a lot is learnt by just getting out there, and while I'm doing that I am mindful that I don't want to teach myself bad habits. Easier not to have them in the first place than to try and unlearn them.

Book suggestions would be good too.

I have the DVD "Motorcycling in New Zealand - Riding in Groups"
and the book "The Biker's Bible. Fun and Survival on Road-Going Motorcycles" by Graham Allardice.

IMO the DVD has some good stuff and some not so practical stuff in it, but still worth a look and the book would be recommended reading.

I can lend them both.

Also download and check out that "A Perfect Day" video as in the "Road Safety Video - MUST WATCH!!!! (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=14198)" thread.
Actually I've massively recompressed the "A Perfect Day" video and posted the attachment in post40 of that therad here (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showpost.php?p=740600&postcount=40)

Hiya,

Long shot, but just wondering if you still had that DVD?
would you be able to make it available for download??? maybe make it into a 'bit torrent' file for all KB bikers to access?

Or even make a copy... :innocent:

Cheers

Group Riding, the DVD as Disco Dan requested as an .avi
It's a 17minute DVD and compressed down into a 28Mb DivX video here (http://homepages.woosh.co.nz/dsoutham/_Media/28mbgroupridingdivx.avi).

The standard reminder: you need the divX codec installed on your PC to see the picture (or a player such as VLC) and although the normal picture size is small you should be able to zoom the playback to full screen and get a good result.

Disco Dan has uploaded it to a nice high speed host here (http://homepages.woosh.co.nz/dsoutham/_Media/28mbgroupridingdivx.avi)

Thanks DD, that makes the download time a breeze compared to my original host.
