AWNR - Auckland Wednesday Night Ride

[obstacle]

Hi guys,

Picked up my bike on the weekend and keen to come along this wednesday. Do I need to bring anything special? I've already done a bit of riding since saturday so i'm comfortable enough riding but really need to learn some safety skills.

See you there!

Deeply disconcerting how few people realise that no matter how good you are you can still benefit from practice, especially now that the weather is improving.

Hi All,
Hope to be there this week, if the Doc clears me. Had a wee accident while skiing, and have torn some ligmenty things in my ankle. If I can't ride, I'll nana out in the car and hide in the corner.

I tell ya, no matter how good you think you are, going over the basics like emergency braking can be a life saver, you never know when you are going to need it.
This weekend I had to use it again, first time was a few months ago riding home from this event some twat did a 180 in front of me on the motorway - in the wet. This time I nearly took out myself and several other bikers, coming around a blind bend to a one way bridge, slight lack of attention. My friend in front had stopped and I sailed past her (side ways) locked up, if the motor hadn't of stalled I reckon I would of high sided. I had very little choice in places to go, choices were take out my friend, solid concrete bridge or group of bikers or this very small gap in front of my friend. I released the lock up, aimed for the gap and because I looked there I ended up there. We are talking about stopping within 4-6 bike lengths from 80-90kph.

I gotta stop getting into these situations, is costing me a crap load in underwear lol

If you are on an "unfamilar" bike, thats when you need a safe practice area the most!!
How many people have gone out on a test ride of a shop bike, or worse, a friends bike, and found out how fast it can go before they worked out how fast it can stop??

You don't need a bike to come along. You can still learn something, and pass on your knowledge to others, even if it is at the fib session at the pub afterwards.

Let us know if you still would like to come out and play. I can shoot in and give you a lift out if you like. Pillion skills are good to learn too.

OK folks, this week i'm in. I'll see you there at 6:30. Can someone PM me the training area in case traffic holds me up on the way home from work?

[Tank]

Sorry guys - I was one that said I'd be there and didnt make it (it was a work meeting - grrrr). Anyway Im sure to be there this week. Im really looking forward to it.

See you then.
