Often as a noob (and sometimes as a not-so-noob), you can make a real hash of a new set of twisties. It feels good when you ride that road again and get every corner spot-on.

The real ecstacy comes from riding a new road, and getting the line through each corner perfect.

Well done that man.

Hi TA (Pukete guy here),
Best to let cars through while you're still a noobie. Feeling pressured by following traffic doesn't improve the riding. Pull over and let them get a fair bit ahead. As you've shown, you can catch them up but better to be cautious and in control than letting others ditate how you want to ride.

Great ride on the back road to Waignaro and Glen Massey and back to Ngaruawahia and Whatawhata. (other than a short bit of gravel).

Good bit of recovery.

Hmm.... Might have to give the Raglan run a go this friday. Good onya for remembering a good bit of advice.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who enjoys that "Baaarp" on the corners, only problem with my bike is recently it's added it's own "pow!" on the end. Need a tune-up.

had the same experience on a 'busa yesterday - was going a bit quicker though. 'trust the tyres and ground clearance' i was telling myself - 'don't look at the ditch/bank/guard rail - that'll hurt WAY too much'

that was out back of clevedon/ardmore/maraetai/whitford etc.

Thats some dam good advise, I had real problems turning tight corners until i was taught to look completely round to where you wanna go and hey presto no more falling off

Being new to riding, I find that all the advice I recieve is valuable. Everyone offers their own opinionated veiw and I take it all in and make it suit me. Never give up listening to advice because the day you do if the day you fall short.

Welcome MissSniper.... good to see you finally out there riding...

Thank you, I havent got my licence yet but I ride up and down the driveway and sniper pillions me to quiet streets with some corners so that I can learn.

[Mrs Old Farts]

Welcome miss sniper, i have only just got my learners also, Two days ago in fact, and like you my other half used to ride my bike to my work where i could ride round the building and as it has four corners i learnt to do the corner thing but so far have only been out once on the road last night so was able to get it out of second gear for the first time, and realised that i really can ride and i take all the adivse i can get to stay safe and keep enjoying the experience of riding my own bike. Kelv also rides behind me and out from me to protect me somewhat from cars behind me and to beep when i forget to turn my indicator off something i do often (buggar) but keep it up, i never thought i would do this at all and now im loving it and so is Kelv as he gets to ride his alone also.
