Full explanation of why the day turned out the way it did, is on it's way. First and foremost, I would like to say, that it WAS NOT the fault of the instructors on the day.
due to poor facilities, room inside, only a section of the expected car park being available and only originally 3 instructors to a proposed 30 riders, the instructors were very close to pulling out of the training session about 08.45am. But then people started to arrive, and we didn't want to let everyone down.
As I said, full explanation will follow.
thanks for your patience..

might I reckomend 4 fingers - to pick up the anchor try hook it on the nears Tarana when you feel like stopping

What?,
Just 4 fingers?,
I'm going so slow I have time to find neutral to free up the left hand to help squeeze the old cable brake.
Finding neutral is no easy task that takes two hands, one hand to count the other to point!

Some would say people in the land of torana's have an advantage...five fingers to squeeze the lever and still the thumb arch to roll the throttle off..If ya know what eye mean.

You're argument about the back straight of pukie isn't relevant to a road-oriented skills course.

But it is. I commute with two fingers covering teh brake, and two for throttle control. a couple of times I have had millisconds to react and brake hard. It was only because my two fingers were covering the brakes that I actually made it though without injury. If I had tried to move my other two fingers into position first, things could have been ugly.

While my bike is a sports bike with reasonable braking, Its not renowned for it...
