    Big thanks to Mainland Motorcycle School & Dan Ornsby Motorcycle Training School

    A really big thanks to Mike, Dan and Hank for the awesome training day.

    The advice given was invaluable and really identified a number of issues which I hope to be able to iron out before they become habit. I'll definitely be recommending you guys to anyone I can.

    For those who haven't do so already, Mainland Motorcycle School run an advanced training course which I highly recommend. If for no other reason than to brush up on your skills or pick up some confidence.

    Anyway, fantastic way to spend a day and learnt so much that will hopefully keep me out of trouble or at least help me avoid it if it comes my way.
    You only need two tools in life:
    Duct tape if it moves and it shouldn't.
    WD-40 if it doesn't move and it should.


    Brute force and ignorance always prevails.
    Failure comes from too little brute force, or
    too little ignorance.

    I went on that course as well, and it was the best $50 I've spent. I learnt a lot and am a much better rider for it.

    PS. I was on the blue and white GSXR600 SRAD.

    I'm trying to make up an excuse to go for a ride to keep practising the new things I learnt - though not all things can be tried on the road clearly.

    Not me either - PM with details if you get them. I would be keen to see some photos from the day.

    I hope to do one soon ... and I'll even get work to pay for it under a personal development service award we have going.

    It got me thinking too and I'll probably spend an hour or two with a driving instructor as well as I've probably got some bad driving habits over 30 years of driving.
