learning to ride

[Sutage]

I also reccomend Lee.

Got my basic handling two or maybe one weekend ago

( I was the guy who was gonna get the Belladonna, but changed my mind now, gonna hopefully get a GN250)

Paid $100 for two hour lesson and certificate, much cheaper than passrite and even john wright !

Have you shopped around?? PM Lee Rusty

[zooty]

thanks guys

as u heard i went to lee rusty, he was great. I got my skills up to scratch in an hour or so. He provided bikes so it made my first riding experience a great one!!

ended up with my basic skills test on the same day, so jst gotta book the theory at AA!!

Cheers

Dont stop practicing. talk again to lee rusty.I'm sure he does a more advanced course for once ya have your basic skills and handling .
I'd also suggest tagging along on a newbees ride (slow ride)
not quite yet -perhaps give it a month till you have worked out the basics.
If ya want a quiet escorted ride ill be more than happy to help

some variations on prices out there

Here are mine Basic skills test $50 includes use of bikes and helmet if needed.
There is time to get used to the bike, brakes, etc.
Test usually takes about 1 hour all up - if you have some knowledge of riding,
Ie can operate a clutch - trail bike/ farm bike/ scooter experiance.

If you need training it is done at $25 per hour with a max of 3 people for training lessons. THis includes hire of bike, and helmet if needed.

Average person take 3 to 4 hours to get good enough to pass test, but it really is dependant on the person.

The test fee is on top of any training if it is needed

arrgh- memory might be bung- could have been 70 p/h and it took an hour and a half...? (i just gave him some cash i took in coaching surfing...) that seems the same rate as your 205- bout 70 bucks an hour. anything round that is pretty sound- you do get someone to trust you with their motorcycle and helmet even if you're unco...

jeez woman... you almost gave me a heart attack...

here I am thinking that first passrite gives me the runaround, then John Wright seems like a great guy, and with no experience of motorbike riding I think its the best... Then you drop that bombshell...

I need clutch/accelerator experience. Balance shouldn't be an issue (well if it is, I'll be very embarrassed and none of you will ever know ). I've been on non-motorised versions for years and years.

Lee Rusty sorted me out from no experience to easily passing the Basic Handling Course in bout an hour and it was cheap as...

Also he has these sweet little 125 2 strokes which are a crack up to ride

I got set back 40$ for my test and it took about 20mins MAX.

But thats different, auckland is alot different/Plus our bikes were fucked (like died for no reason, and mine had shit compression, kick,kick,kickkickkic,kkickkickkickkick,kick PUTTTTUTTUTTTPTTITTTUTTT, then it would die, so repeat the process , and we didnt have helments, but the dude was mint

[Lee Rusty]

doing stuff for LTSA approved tests with NO HELMENT would lose the guy his licence to do them.

out of interest, where do you do your testing. I certainly intend to do future courses to increase skill (don't care if no impact on license time) and if I find I don't like John, I'll give you a pm...

[Lee Rusty]

my Testing at Otahuhu - but I do road rides when you have your licence and own bike, I used to have road bikes but the insurance etc was too high for the amount of time they were used.
