Howdy...
Perhaps I'm missing something but for anyone else who may also be wondering, how do we go about getting involved with a mentor?

Thanks

Mentoring via sign language alone could make life interesting :eek:

The upgrades broke things and I haven't fixed it yet. Getting there. In the meantime, someone will be in touch.

I would also be keen to be connected with a mentor in my area. Like other noobs I am unable to send a PM, and the code on the mentor page is still beset by gremlins. I live in Hamilton (East). Thanking you!

EDIT: Ahh - scratch that. Tried again and managed to send a PM to MSTRS. Hopefully that'll get me on track to finding a mentor.

By handsome, do you mean "Looks like a brick hit his face at 100kph"...........if so I'm in.
Fuck know what people would learn from me though. Obviously not how to dodge bricks.

Don't know how the Auck mentors are spread. Suggest you use the 'Quick links' pull down, then 'View site leaders'. Scroll down that page to see the list of mentors, and PM all the Auck ones.

waddya have to be to be a mentor..?

I'm mental.. so swap a couple letters around and I'm there?

I'm happy to ride with any learners at any stage of learning. from how to get on the bike to turning the bike on and moving from standstill, coming to a stop. how to turn it to how to do rolling burnouts and wheelies.. ;)

Can also throw in some basic tips about bike maintenance and safety checks.
