    beginners/learners ak

    wondering what the demand out there if any for a medium/slow paced road ride for learners and or beginers, to mingle with more experinced riders, at the above mentioned slow pace.
    a cruise out west on the open roads. not exceeding 100kph. with all 250's and smaller welcome.
    and wanna know if there are any experienced farts that want to help out getting some newbies up to speed with skills and experience on open roads. and just a general get together.
    so if anyone is interested post away of message me.
    summer is coming lets keep it safe out there and help others.

    i have been a dumb cunt too in the past, and i still can be. but just trying to keep them alive. and teach them a few good points hopefully. so i guess its aimed at people with little experience whom can hadle open roads just. and it gives them a chance to ride in a group and how to ride in a group.

    Yeah I'm keen for something like that once I get another bike.
    I'm sure Indy would be too.

    I'd have to take the L-plates off for the open road, but I'd be willing for a ride like that.

    Appreciate the idea and I would be a starter - my partner (Sarg) is happy to come along and provide added guidence and support. Been on a few KB rides but only 2 up, so looking forward to the day I can ride alongside with confidence and ability !!

    excellent the numbers are growing. there is an interesting point. "L" plates on or off and do we need to keep at 70kph. any biker cops want to comment on this? on the quiet that is pm me any pointers.
    i am sure i will hear the obvious 'THE LAW IS THE LAW"
    maybe a ride with a few motorcycle police along for the ride " no tickets" we could learn alot.
    but i hope to plan a ride soon, and also looking for experienced riders.
    and not looking for any bad habits.
    you know who you are

    Looking at it, the 70km/hr restriction is open road specifically, not motorways. Am I right? Could that change anything about the course?

    Seems most beginners/250&under arn't that interested in rides.
    There's heaps here and writing in uber large text that a ride is learner friendly doesn't pull them out of the woodwork.

    well i got to try. i don't want to be just sitting on my ass doing nothing.
    and it is experience for them. some rides organised by members are bloody fast rides. and with accidents happening, which i am sure were caused by riders going past their limits. or riding past the conditions.
    i want to tone it right down, and get them used to riding in groups, and also build up their confidence on the open road. with so many experienced riders out their to lend a helping hand and advice the learners might just come out for a fun day riding. and meet some cool KB's
