Hey all,

I've just picked up a learners a week and a bit ago so very inexperienced. Looking to pick up some skills and learn about motorcycles in general through these forums and some rides.

Atleast your not riding a Hyo GT250R, people might take you a bit seriously.
But then again you ride a Honda and this may lead others to question your sexuality.

Welcome to KB

Haha hey, question all you want, I'm perfectly sure of my sexuality. For the record, I bought it off a mate so it wasn't a hassle and I knew he took care of it. I'm quite happy with it.

cheers

You will have alot more fun on a '90s 250cc then on some of the newer shit. I started on a '90 FZR250 which only had 3000km on the clock, still miss that bike, the sound made it feel so fast when really it was dog slow

Hey welcome. Hit up one of these courses: http://www.prorider.co.nz/motorcycle....php?course=31
I went on one yesterday, it was so, so helpful. I'm a lot more confident now and learnt more in that day than I did in my past few weeks of riding every day! Only $20 too

Oh cheers, that's quite cheap indeed! will definitely sign up.

You could also consider coming along to either NASS or SASS as well.

**bawked** · 31st March 2014, 16:34

Seat time is key, get out there and ride. where bouts do you live in auckland, there is NASS, SASS and ANTR Junior which should cater to you every need. Also if you want to come for a blat out to the west coast beaches, feel free to pm me and suss something.

I hear most Aucklanders head to the Coro Loop to learn to ride. Westpac run a shuttle service back most weekends too.
