Welcome aboard. Enjoy the learning. Just make sure you take it easy and don't try and progress too fast. Things have a way of biting back if you get too up yourself and think you are better than you are. Remember, Practice, Practice, Practice.

Yeah welcome aboard mate. Haven't been here long myself but so far everyone is real friendly and very helpful (except for that South Island lot).....
Did I just say that out loud?
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

Hi there, I'm new to KB too and am in the market for a new bike (read my other thread to find out why).
I did my Basic Handling first with Riderskills in AKL(sorry south Islanders) and will be doing the "scratch Test soon" - I hate tests. Basically because I'd never ridden before and was glad I did.

welcome to the mad house
I completed basic handling just over a week ago & sat learners last monday ...
for the learners you need to complete 25 car questions & 10 bike specific quetions .. I found this site useful to practice all 70 bike questions & some car ones .. they are the exact questions that you could be required to answer

First welcome and second congrats on getting the best make of bike in the world. ZXR's 250 and up rule. Some of the city boys will try an tell u they are heavy and dont corner well. Tell them to piss off as they are just soft city slickers who are used to power steering. ZXR,s are heaps of fun and they hold there own on the road and not to mention have a very successfull past on the circuit. Also we are trying to get a zxr bike maintainance class together as many of us own these racing pedigrees and want to learn how to keep them in top shape. Give me a yell if your keen and ill add you to the list.

you'll definately need help after joining KB
I got my first bike last May and have progressed with a fairly disciplined approach. I appreciate a lot of you newbies will not have the time and patience pehaps, and will want to get out and about as soon as you can. The best thing you can do is seek out an experienced mentor in your area.
Here is a link to the past 10mths for you to scan through. Remember take your time be patient and focus on only a few things each time you go out for a ride.
