Rider training in Christchurch

[nigelp]

Hi Guys,

We I now have my restricted, and was wanting to do some "formal" training on some of the keys "do's and don'ts" of riding. Does anyone know of any training centres/companies that do such a thing? I guess it could be beneficial if it counted as a defensive driving course to knock 3 months off my restricted also! I have done the usual yellow pages, google etc to no avail. Seems to be heaps out there for cars but nothing for bikes in Chch.

Alternatively I may have to resort to a few good books, however nothing like a bit of hands on training!

Am looking at getting a better bike in the near future as my wee Marshin 200 just doesnt cut the mustard at 100kms (when you finally get there!!!).

You comments would be appreciated! thanks

I found those guys good, I sat my full with them. Mike was a great help & made the course & the test fun.
They even do advanced training courses on the track.

I done the advanced course last year at Levels when I had the ZZR1100, had a ball and learn't a hell of a lot.

Thanks for the information guys. Thinking back, it was the Mainland Driving School that provided the test for my restricted last week.

Will get in touch with them and see what they can do for me.
