Off road skills for adventure riders

[chrisktm]

Hey a bit of a heads up, Im running another off road skills ride day on the 16th May near Auckland. Check out www.birchy.co.nz or the article in this month's Kiwi Rider. Get in quick!

Hey Chris,

Is there any chance you'll be in the south island (nelson) at some stage? I'd definately be keen to sign up for some coaching with a noob/dirt focus.

[cooneyr]

Yer dude there are some inmates in the SI too who are probably interested

Cheers R

[thepom]

I would as I need it more than most.........

[Crisis management]

i could be interested in this......what's it cost Chris?

Just a note, I have had some off road training from Chris before and can highly recommend it.

[cooneyr]

Info on this page. $200 per day or less if we get our arses into gear and get organise a group booking.

Cheers R

How come I can never find that stuff when I'm looking? Anyway, I've emailed Chris and will let you know how it goes...

[Crisis management]

$150 for a days training, sounds like good value to me, I just need to check with the social events organiser now.

It's about time I worked on my skills a bit so I would be up for that...

But since my off-road skill level is approximately zero, I'm not sure I'd fit in a group with you guys. I'm not too keen to break any plastics just now either, so maybe I'd need to 'Struan' my Freewind by taking off the panels most likely to break... Oh and swap out the Tourance on the back for something that might work... Hopefully the E-07 would be OK on the front, though.

Allright you SI lot ..... Whose keen for some self improvment?

We need around ten riders to make it happen ($200ea/day), if we do it up here in Nelson i've got a big shed to cover the bike setup side of things in rain or shine and can accomodate 4-5 people in the "new" house (more space than beds, so indoor camping would be the go if more needed to stay). I'm also only a few km from old coach rd and some great dirt trails which would work well for skills training purposes and clolse enough to home for a bbq lunch.

I've just sold the 640e so might have to "borrow" the old R100RSPD for the duration as the DRZ might be cheating.

Chris is looking into a date, so lets make something happen.

[cooneyr]

Well done on the sale of the 640e. Put me down as one for a SI ride.

Cheers R

[thepom]

Me too....

[NordieBoy]

Cool. It'd be sweet if Chris brings the mighty DR down

[Crim]

I would be keen (dates allowing obviously)
Cheers

If DR250 is ready I'd be very keen...chances of that happening slim, will report back when ready to go, congrats on the sale of the 640! Let the DRZ fiddling begin!
