    Fuggin aye when do we start? If experienced people like loosebruce and whitetrash with lots of track experience could do it for a few boxes of beers that would keep costs down, and that would be graet for a broke ass student like me

    I'd LOVE to do this. I'm always keen to learn, and i'd be happy to fork out $100 for this.

    Hell yeah, me and the misses would be in for that! We've just got a new bike and she's as rusty as an old tin long-drop and I would love to pick up some new tips and skills!! Keep us posted if this can be organised!!

    I could be keen...

    on manfield.. Couple of things though...

    1. licences. I still only have my restricted. Is there going to be rules on appropriate licences for the bike?

    2. Taping up the bike. Would there be rules about taping up the lights and removing mirrors and the stuff you have to "normally" do on a track day?

    Tony i'm sure even the "instructors" (using term loosely if me and trashy are involved) would front up a bit of cash as well to help bring that figure ($110) down.

    If it's going to be 15 then I'd probably step aside unless there's a definite free spot. I'm of the opinion that almost everyone could use some help with their riding, but some more than others. Really all I'm after is clearing up any rough edges to my riding and seeing what I can improve. Basically, I don't any learner/restricted license people missing out because of me.

    I wouldnt mind doing one of these as race training -

    I dont need any help for road riding, but would love to do something with people like WT, LB, Two smoker, KK, Motoracer, frosty, etc etc watching and helping out.

    Trouble is, do we have 15 inexperienced racers like myself who need helping out, and then have enough fast experienced racers to instruct?
