Kim Ewen and I went and checked out the Wednesday mentor evening tonight. Even as a full license holder I found the evening very useful, in particular the part where we did emergency braking practice with road cones. (I was pleased to discover that the Suzuki stopped in about 20-25 metres at 100kph).
Tonight went a little like this:
A quick check of tyre pressure and brake levers etc first, then a ride out to Bethels beach through some tricky corners though at a very comfortable speed. Then we went to a sealed off car park and practiced cornering/turning, stopping skills etc.
Do yourself a favour and go and check it out, no matter how skilled you think you may be (I knocked over a cone, oh and some guy on a Fireblade with his full license struggled to get through the slalem course).
The same crowd also do a Monday night thing too which I plan to go to next week.
Sweet guys.
