I know of a handful of people that really should book for this subsidised offer.

There were riders there with a wide range of experience (5 to 40 years riding experience) and we all took away something new to add to the knowledge basket.

Besides, with good old ACC sucking the lifeblood out of my bank account each time I renew my bikes rego, it seems like a great way to recoup some of that cash back for me.

I'd highly recommend taking the opportunity to do one of the courses before the ACC subsidy is withdrawn. Fingers crossed they extend the programme.

Safe riding all

OK where can I sign up for advanced rider training in Auckland, when will it be and and how much will it cost me?
I'm keen.

Check this thread: http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...he-end-of-June

As to when, it depends who you book with, when they have space and when your times match up. How much depends on how much you do. ACC subsidises your first course, whatever it is.

**Riderskills** · 16th June 2012, 13:50

We still have a very limited number of spaces available before the end of June with ACC subsidy. Check out our confident rider course and scooter training.

Our on road courses are always ONE on ONE so we will not ask you to share your training course with up to 5 other riders. You will have our FULL attention at all times. We will listen to your requirements and assess your riding so we can adapt the course around your skill level. If you need advanced training that is not a problem, all riders will be coached at a level that is appropriate to their needs.

There will be no extension beyond June so this is the last opportunity to get the highest quality training available at discounted prices. Scooter riders are welcome too.

Individual training - Highly qualified instructors - ACC subsidy

Book online at http://www.riderskills.co.nz and mention KIWIBIKER on the booking form.

Just did this this morning... Excellent and I highly recommend it! Picked up a lot of tips and also pointers on how I am riding wrong.

Thanks Philip!

You blokes are champions!

**nzspokes** · 16th June 2012, 19:37

Ive done this with Phillip. And I cannot recommend it enough.

**munster** · 18th June 2012, 09:28

Did the confident Rider course with RiderSkills yesterday. I reccomend. Learnt what I'm not doing so well which is always good. Well worth it.

Had a subsidised sesh with Phil of Riderskills this arvo-thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend. Patient but able to break things down for ya. Pointers-check ur bashfulness at the carpark, come armed with questions and give it a go. I came away with several things to work on..and some tips that i found helpful. End result-bit more relaxed and confident about how i ride and how i handle my bike. I intend this to be an ongoing process in skill acquisition, ergo...in a few months i'll have hopefully mastered this set of pointers, so will go back for another sesh. Thanks Phil, hope i wasn't too shocking.
