South Auckland Street Skills

Not something that I can afford to do regularly but I would imagine it helps your riding a hell of a lot.

Same, but yes it adds to the skills you can call on if needed.

don't know if its the same, the Photo spokes has is either a bad habit, or inexperienced rider,
usually on a banked corner Some, (not All) ADV riders will pop out a leg, MX style, if the bikes that low, push out the rear wheel and steer with the throttle, thats not usually how we ride on the road,
although we do mix between counter lean and counter steer, we (ADV riders) are usually on bikes that are set up for riding over obstacles as high off the level ground as our axles,so were higher up in seat position, unlike a street bike, chopper or rolling couch,we have weight in different places on the bike, and usually don't have street tyres, so we mix it up between counter lean and counter balance.
the tough bit is picking the right method to use at the appropriate time, and to not just ride one style.... or at a speed that requires 1000% attention, skill and ability 100% of the ride....

Leaning, pushing the bike down in my opinion on the road at any real speed is a bad habit. ADV bikes its even worse as the tyres dont have the ability to handle big lean angles. So if a turn comes up that is badly planned for and more lean angle is needed you could run out of angle to do it with. Habits are what can bring us down or keep us upright.

I feel fully qualified to talk about ADV bikes as i road one today.

Plan for tomorrow night is technical talk.

I have a helmet camera and I need to know where is the best place to mount it etc.

I don't have my bike in Auckland yet (working up here but home is Hamilton, where the bike is hanging out for now - I'm back there weekends) - BUT - am definitely keen to get out and about once I feel confident enough to bring the bike north. I flat in Mt Wellington, walking distance from Sylvia Park.

Sorry can't make it now.
