Hmmm, I think I met that guy once, but he UNDERTOOK me and took off.

I have very much enjoyed teaching my partner (Girlygirl) the things I know about riding...limited as it maybe, and although I value our time riding together I want to do the most I can to make sure we both get home alive, not sure if I could help others in the same way, but I have found it a rewarding experience, give it a go, I've learnt a thing or two from it.

Any of you Hamilton riders wanting Mentoring you got me by default.
I have been riding for 26 years and had only one crash, Im not that slow either on the road but bloody careful, if you want Im keen.

Put my application forward as a mentor ages ago, dunno what the hell's going on but I guess no one wants to learn how to hurt themselves or wear out a good pair of new jeans.

Also, I live in Ak now so you Wellington nerds will just have to be content with riding badly for a while yet.

I recon if anyone can ride 22 to a reasonable degree, then they should be able to handle the rest of NZ roads no problem... its good training that place

I took this oppotunity up at the end of last year and went and talked and rode with Quasi, we'll worth the time and effort if your just getting into motorcycling. I learnt so much from this experience and it is a big part of the rider i am today. You never stop learning.

We have a real asset in this site where as a beginner you have incrediably easy access to a wealth of Knowledge, experience and events. I recommend taking up this oppotunity to learn safe motorcycling as a beginner.

If you are in the hamilton area and want to meet up for me to pass on what i have learnt, send me a PM.

4/ Sit back and wait to be approved by an admin type person.

Simple really

I got to step 3 and for the life of me couldn’t see where to register as a newbie (could be I am extremely slow, but have a look at the attachment). Am I missing something? I have been registered with KB for some time, does this exclude me from requesting a mentor?

**ManDownUnder** · 24th July 2006, 15:34

Quasi - is there any chance of setting out a training schedule - i.e. topics to be covered?

I'm happy to help and I know everyone has their strong points, and their not so strong points... so a check list of sorts - topics to be covered - would be really useful.

If not, let me know what's needed and I'll put something together? I have no formal driving instruction training though so I'm likely to miss half the stuff anyway...

It'd be good to have expert days too - like track days. Emergency braking, cornering in the wet etc would be topics I can see a specialist might want to cover. I know what to do, but I'm buggered if I know how to teach "don't brake too hard" without a newbie falling off, scuffing themselves and their bike and not coming back for the next one because this free tuition it cost them too much
