Though we have a bit of a cold snap here in the middle of August, the days are certainly getting longer and it won’t be long before those regular mid week evening cruisie rides start up again.
With a view to providing some useful information for newbie riders I invite all riders, within this kiwibiker community, to perhaps reflect on some of those learning to ride challenges we have all experienced. If you have a particular topic you may want to present here, or are planning to examine during your riding this fortnight, then by all means take a few minutes to post up your comments.
Where you ride to is also of interest, as are any pictures you take, and any humorous thing that may have occurred. The general theme is nevertheless the riding practice so that newbie riders can perhaps get an insight to the things that can and do happen, and what we endeavour to practise so as to avoid any harm to ourselves and other road users.
The more senior riders are encouraged to post a few lines here that they believe will be helpful to, not only just new riders, but all riders in general.
At the end of the fortnight on 28 August Yungatart and Chanceyy will each choose an entry from this thread.
Their selections will then be copied across to the Newbie Update Blogg.

The blogg is intended to provide an insight to the approaches taken to motorcycle riding and I encourage all new riders to seek out an experienced riding mentor to periodically review your progress. As you gain time in the saddle and distance travelled, then plan on taking a professionally conducted advanced riding course.
