    Hi

    I went two weeks ago and would like to go again but I'm now at WINTEC from 5 till 7pm on Wens so can't make it, but thats only for the next couple of months so after that I'd be keen, or maybe I could shoot down after 7 but the wife but have something to say?

    But I would suggest watching the LOR thread above, cause thats how I sussed the 2 rides i have ever been on (yesterdays and the week befores)

    Hi

    Come for a ride this Sunday if you can, I have recently got my license and a bike and these guys are really neat to ride with http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...-rides/page143 .

    We went for a ride last Sunday (my first) and I had a blast, there was only 3 of us because of the v8s but i think this weeks ride willl have a few more.

    Cheers

    good to hear, I think if you see them at the time, that is when it is important, not 10 min later (when its too late)... but I guess you would not pass the test if you crapped out so to speak... 80% interesting... will work on my observation for October! Thanks

    Awesome, tell us all about it... did you miss any dangerous objects, or cars coming at you, I heard that is part of what is required for full?

    Just keep focusing on the positive.
    Thanks Mr Dath. Hobbies.... Hmmmmm.... tiddlywinks? Knob polishing for beginners? Crochet?

    Thanks a lot, Pritch. I'm feeling a lot more positive today, after talking to a cardiologist. Also just came back from a great session with the psychologist/coach.
