Hey Guys

I am interested about enhancing my riding skills. My emergency braking needs work to minimise my stopping distance.

Also want to know how to take road lines properly, I'm still taking corners with racing lines (not safe). Basically I want to stay on my side of the road and make cornering more efficient/faster on the road. Reason? Because it was an awesome day on Paekakariki hill road, but every corner I took I had to snap myself out of taking the racing line. This made cornering awkward and quite slow.

Any suggestions on how I can go about increasing my skills?

Come with me for a day playing on the Takas, I can't replace Bruce but I sure can pass on what he taught me.

Sounds good to me.. I just have to wait until my wrist gets better. :)

Should only be a few more weeks. I'll PM when I'm all good to go.

Oh cool, cheers for that man

EDIT: Just had a look. I'm looking more for enter/exit lines. I'm all good with weight shifting/knee ect. Thanks though :D I'll have a google. Jim was happy to give me a bit of mentoring as well, I'll see how that goes.
