    Cheers CaN

    I think that's right. I suppose my concern is that while I am practising I am want to be concentrating on practising the correct way rather than feeling it out and realising I have been doing it wrong for 5 years!!

    Cheers all

    It is a motorcycle skills course run by BRONZ and is aimed at beginner to intermediate level.

    It is run by bikers for bikers not profits, hence the cost is small ($45.00) but the content is not lacking.

    Look at the calander for the next course.

    Incidentally it is going on the road a bit soon including Dunedin this weekend, Palmerston North and the Mount(?) in the near future so if peoples from these parts are interested please let me know and I will se if there is space available. Prices for the other centres vary a bit though.

    cbr600?

    The Honda Riders Club run training days too. It'll cost more than $45 (about double?) but most people find them useful. You don't necessarily have to be a member.

    Of course there aren't many vanishing points on a race track.

    I'd be interested to know if there was one coming to somewhere near Rotorua.

    Ok I got it a little wrong.
    There are 4 away courses in the near future as follows.
    1) Dunedin Sunday the 23rd of April (this weekend)
    2 & 3) Bay Park, Tauranga 27th and 28th of May
    4) Taranaki, probably Hawera, Sunday the 11th of June

    Will put these in the calendar soon as I get back. But feel free to PM me for these courses if you like.

    Personally I think you need to work on your throttle control. Downhill corners often lead to later application of the throttle than is really appropriate, and often too much throttle applied too late will make you run wide as the forks extend. Ideally you want to be rolling the throttle on all the way through the corner in a way that maintains the line you chose/are in the process of choosing.

    Sorting an apex out is a piece of piss - if you can see through the corner. Personally I think the vanishing point stuff is all very well in a perfect world, but in a world with potholes, diesel, dirt, rocks, livestock, and worst of all, other road users, you're asking for trouble just concentrating on the VP.

    Oh yeah. Keep your head up and look through the corner, not AT the VP.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
