There was a recent post about getting training in the Auckland area. If anyone is interested, I did an advanced roadcraft course in Hamilton a few weeks ago which was great value. 1:1 instruction using helmet radios. High speed braking exercises were my favourite and scariest part. Most of us simply don't realise just how hard you can brake with a modern bike given the right technique. My wrists and shoulders had just about packed in by the end of the exercises. Knowing how hard you can brake might one day be the difference between incurring serious harm and getting off scott-free.
Anyway, the guy is Ward Fischer and he's an ex-chief traffic instructor. This is his website: http://www.roaduser.co.nz/.
From memory, it was around $100 for about 3 hours instruction and assessment. Worth every cent as I'd never had an independent review of my riding skills. Be ready for a bit of ego damage!
