No worries

well betsy now has a working speedo will have to remember to trip the meter when i fill up so rather than guestimate how far i can go I can actually be relatively accurate ..

[Mouse]

I'm definitely coming on this ride seeing as how I didn't make the last ride

[chanceyy]

be good to see you mouse .. now let hope it does not rain

been thinking a bit today after yesterdays ride .. always working to build new skills when your learning on restricted or even on full .. am contemplating two things .. first one that I think cowboyz & I chatted about a few months ago .. suitable venue for a ride right ride safe course .. did this bout 6 months ago & quite invaluable regardless of experience .. so anyone know of a really really really large carpark that could be used for a day (weekend)


and regular 250 meetings to practice some of the skills we need to develop .. my full is in several months & I know controlled turning is one of those things I need to work on, along with counter steering .. perhaps some of the more experienced riders may help with this ?? or go to a section of quiet road & practice some skills ..

does this need a new thread .. whats your thoughts ?? pm me with ideas

[ynot slow]

Re bike skills course to run,have you got access to a large pub carpark on a sunday,thought the pub by racecourse had a decent one,or maybe I was pissed and seemed big lol.
We had a course run here last year and was held over weekend in pub carpark.Or not sure if it is sealed but the float park at awapuni racecourse.
