Agreed!

Brilliant course, highly recommend it to anyone who has the chance to do it.
Really had no idea what to expect, but came away with a few things to use when I ride from now on!

Yeah, id really like to do the course again, will have to sort myself out this week!

I also found the braking part of it the best - I was always riding with 2 fingers covering the brake, so when they had us use all 4, it was really amazing to see the huge improvement in stopping distance!
Just a very basic thing like that I had never really put too much thought into

The low speed manouvering was also good Again it was just the odd little detail here and there that make all the difference

Already said it but if anyone has the chance, just do it! You will be amazed at how much there really is you can improve - Some stuff is literally overnight!

Instructors are brilliant too - Lynne and Andy just have so much knowlege, tons of patience to boot

gogogogogogogogogogo!!!!

That's the thing aye.. some of the pointers we were taught.. were so SIMPLE.. yet made sooo much difference!! You got the arse end of ya bike in the air too aye!! That's my goal for the next weekend!!

The low speed manouvering was also good. Again it was just the odd little detail here and there that make all the difference

You did bloody well manouvering that big beastie of yours through the tight course!!!

Yep.. I noticed even on my ride home from the course, things were better!! My bike is parked up over the Winter, & these courses tend to come just before I do my yearly mission to Greymouth @ Labour Wknd.. & the past couple of years that I have done these courses, I always have a GREAT ride!! I feel so much more confident again, after the break off the bike!

Instructors are brilliant too - Lynne and Andy just have so much knowlege, tons of patience to boot

They are aye!! & they're really passionate about what they do!! If ya go in there with an open mind, there is so much to learn from them!! I only did 1 pass past Andrew on the rear brake.. ALL the other passes were using the front brake only.. he's got the patience of a Saint!!

Catch up with ya in a couple of weeks then!!!!
