Hi Guys, I'm Dynamite9585's girlfriend.
Thought I might take your advice and join up.
Thank you so much for all your advice so far, it has helped us out a lot already.
Can not wait to get my first bike.

[dynamite9585]

we are looking at getting them in 2 weeks (waiting for some money to come thru).
found a place in auckland that give full instruction from no experience to basic riding skills cert for $160 (cert included).

unless someone knows of a better/cheaper place.

Just new to the scene myself and had maybe 20 or 30 of illegal road kilometres (nil off road) experience before i did my BHS with Passrite in Hamilton. $180 from memory, might be another option for you. They supplied the bikes but not helmets if i remember correctly (already had most of me own gears anyhow)

Also, when you guys get some wheels, dont forget the Waikato Tag-A-Rama for when you need some idea of direction when you go for a ride.

See my sig for where the tags have already been

These guys are awesome! http://www.riderskills.co.nz/default...htbar=certnews

I was dropping the parents at the airport so booked the test for the same day. They teach you everything you need to know.


A few people i have met have used this guy in Hamilton http://www.roaduser.co.nz/mc2a.htm

[dynamite9585]

called passrite in auckland, he put me straight about the hamilton branch having bikes.
so looking there now, closer to home, end up talking to the guy who runs the courses for about 15-30 mins.

one on one training for about 2 hours and the required certificate at the end ($180)
