AWNMR - Auckland Wednesday Night Mentor Ride

[Kittyhawk]

Nice vid Dan, loved the sound track.
A bit faster and with a knee down and you can post it on the thursday night thread.

I will be along tonight (wondering if anyone remembers who he is? It's been a while)

Hehe Disco wanted someting sexy and classy for the sound track. That pice only took bout 20 mins to write and edit. Yeah he needs to get his knee down and it'll come together nicely.

The demonstration on the roundabout almost ended up in a bin for me last night. I dropped my focus and the bike followed with that!!! Easily recovered but even easier to defocus..

So always stay focused and remember look ahead to where you want to go. Lots of improvement last night and the confidence levels just keep on rising!!

The Stranger - Thanks for the hints and tips last night much appreciated.

(The cellphone....well...er...it ended up as road kill last night, because Im sure we rode over it as well!!)

My bike is starting to feel more comfortable now, and starting to tip her in more and more as my confidence allows...

*will keep watching you sensai klitorous*

I reckon we have another rounabout session. Get the most out of it while we can.

Going round the roundabout both ways is great practice for many things - not just going faster and faster or getting your knee down.

By daring yourself to go past, and increase your comfort zone on the bike you are riding is probably the main benefit of such an exercise.

Every person who has been on the rounabout that i have seen has made an improvement in some areas - mostly confidence based which is great.

It also has the added bonus of being lovely seal, with a nice straight and areas for laying out cones, even a good area at the top of the hill for hooning up, emergency stopping, and u-turning to come back down.

So, who's in?

Yeah, great suggestion Morcs.. would be good to make the most of the area before the road is opened.

Ran out of room in my box of magical goodness for the cones last week, but will give it a go this week if everyone is keen... hopefully it wont be as windy and we wont have them blow away!

[Morcs]

And if i get my vfr back before wednesday night im going to be doing a session over there if anyone is keen for some pre-practice-practise
