If they advertise them as LAM's compliant ... they would surely hope some will ask for a test ride ...

Too true

Thanks Moi. KB is so confusing at the moment, I'm still trying to figure out which gear I need to be in to successfully back a 1200 GS into a wall. And why?

Exactly... why would you want to back a GS into a wall?

Well dunedin has plenty of windy hilly roads to ride on!! I'm looking at getting an R3

Mosgiel - Kyeburn - Palmerston - Macraes Flat - Hyde and home will give you all the hill work practice you will ever need. (Try it on calm days first)

On mostly deserted roads. And not state highway one.

... And I'm worrying about which hand to wave with while I'm doing it...

Here's a suggestion...

Sounds like a good route! I'll keep that one in mind.

I didn't even know that IAM was until you posted the link so thanks for that.

a bunch of tossers. (sorry everone who's IAM and not a tosser... if you exist)

my understanding it was based on the uk police roadcrafterty. all well and fucking good, but misses a huge swag of point.

ie. riding without a WOF or license is not inherently dangerous. but fucked if they'll accept that.

also, (and i'll go all c*ssina here, because i have no experience with them whatever, but sure as fuck have to comment), but it seems like a box-ticking exercise. ie do-everything-by-the-book-and-we'll-give-you-certificates-and-blowjobs.

IE, it's NCEA for riding. it's the process, not the result, so as long as you follow the script: your cool.

silly old white folk.

3 things a much heavier weight a longer wheelbase and a lower seating position than the trail bikes I used to own. The best bikes for stability in side winds would be 300kg+ crusiers like Harleys but the trade off is they dont have the cornering ability of other bikes.

So ... in your opinion ... a fully fueled Yamaha FJ1200 with two fully loaded side panniers AND a full top-box ... two up ... would be an excellent bike in strong wind conditions ... ???

You can even stop in Hyde twice for coffee (pose) without needing to get too far off the route. Remember ... if it's blowing a gale at Outram ... go somewhere else.

Yes I can imagine it can get quite gusty through there.

New Guy: there's good advices and bad advices, you're not to know.
The green bars and rainbows under names may offer some clues but are not definitive.
Know you this, though:
C*ssina is an A-Grade Fuckwit and you should never take any notice of anything it says ever.

you two could have a race
