    I don't know your situation John - but what you learn in this course may be worth more than a days work. Please do think about it.

    It may just save your life by knowing how to do it properly.

    How full up is the course? Room for 2 or 3 more? (2 definitely interested, but I'd like to figure out whether to twist a friend's arm or not for this one).

    I keep wanting to play with the cats' eyes, but figured maybe that would be a bad thing. Bummer is they've taken the cones away from by work - that did get some funny looks & I'm sure after they spotted me they changed the spacing - spoil sports.

    hey

    e-mail: finn.lorraine@clear.net.nz

    And ask them how full they are, they may have some spaces left

    Crashe: Yeah I know it's a good thing to re-do it all... I don't mind too much, as long as I don't screw up on the stuff we've already done lol...

    *wants to do cornering*

    *not so keen on the emergency braking either*

    Im looking forward to the emergency braking, Im a little nervous but Ive had a pretty good experience with stopping quickly at 110k that should help

    scared me so much I would have browned my pants but it was too scared to come out.

    lol if we go back and do worse.

    Talking

    Just come back from the course......if you were thinking about it , do it now . Well worth it. The course is made up of several components some theory and some practical, and all worthwhile. gives you an excellent opportunity to confirm what you thought you knew, and secondly see where you need practice and if your variuos approaches to riding work

    Second that SPB. It was an excellent day. Even redoing the first half of the day before continuing on to the new stuff was great. Really good one-on-one instruction where needed, plenty of time to get it right as well as stuff for newbies and not-so-newbies.
