One-on-one lessons that don't break the bank?

[special_K]

Hiya all,

Just bought my first bike - Yamaha SX4 Scorpio 2008, got a great price as it was not from a dealer. Saved up hard to get a first bike and good safety gear. Problem is..I don't know how to ride it :rolleyes:
Did my BSHT a year ago with a company I won't name here..basically didn't get out of first gear and stayed inside the whole time. Got the Learners, was told I'm a natural (yeah right) but had no idea how I did it.
So now I have my baby sitting waiting to be ridden..but lessons are through the roof these days - between $70-$100 p/h!! Borrowed some great books, read them back to back and get the idea in theory and having said that I have a much higher appreciation and respect of what it is to be a good rider -years of practice and skill development (love it!)
Thought I could start teaching myself - but my driveway is a steep hill with another hill at the end of it, so I figure if I try to even roll it down I may stack it straight into the neighbour's house, car or both.

Big Question - can anyone suggest someone who can do a couple one-on-one lessons on the Shore (on my bike) who doesn't charge through the roof??

Much appreciated guys and so STOKED to be here :clap:

And I'll endorse her in a heatbeat.

Never done her training but if you need training from an experienced rider that has the quals, and is a good lady...

'nuff said.

Hiya, K. Well done getting on the bike and riding it up and down that big 'ld driveway. Just remember to enjoy yourself and if things get a bit hot, pull in the clutch and re-compose yourself. (And don't forget to turn off your indicator after yourve finished with it)

You go Girl!
