Pukekohe Auckland MCC Advanced Training Day 8 December

**PeteJ** · 8th October 2007, 12:03

I believe that AMCC has its next ART at Pukekohe on Saturday 8 December, preceded by a theory night at the AMCC clubrooms a couple of evenings before. There was one yesterday, and the organisers have lots of ideas for improvement, particularly on the theory tuition side.

Chief instructors are Paul Pavletich, CEO of Motorcycling NZ and a former multiple roadrace champion, and Vince Sharpe, production race legend here and in Australia. I hope that this site's own - fanfare, please, the band - Jill Clendon will also be involved as an instructor, as she was yesterday.

On the ride day, you can accept the offer of advice and assessment or just go for your own ride, as you wish.

Don't see why not...I've seen Harleys and scooters on the track before. You will learn a lot about handling a scoot that's for sure...

I went to the last one, it's just like a trackday, except you go for a walk around the track in the morning

It is a training/track day, but will have an MNZ permit.

There are no races.

AMCC Round 2 race day is the day after, Sunday 9 December.

Yup - as long as you go out in the group you have nominated, can't see a problem.

If you see no benefit in participating in the training, that's up to you.
