SMC L-Plate riders' practice thread

[Squiggles]

not going anymore

so i'll be down for a carpark session. might bring my littlest brother on his new bike (the fxr got fucked up by a missing man hole cover so he's onto a hornet now)

ill take the fxr, will finish off the one in the shed, or ya handed it over to insurance? (we could swap the tanks rofl)

[Slyer]

Squiggles let me ride around town on the gn this arvo. Was my first time on the road, fun and easier than I thought.
Till the battery died waiting at the lights and they had to come and rescue me and bump start it.
Keen for more rides!

[motorbyclist]

we've already gotten rid of it (funny story, but not for this thread) - he fucked both rims but kept upright!
he says it bounced the front right up into the air

plus one for dirtbike experience

minus one for FXR headlights

minus ten (or just fucking sack) whoever is in charge of keeping roads in a safe condition. we lost a grand on that fxr you cunts - that sized hole is clearly capable of ripping a wheel of a car

[PirateJafa]

Yeah, you could/should probably claim any loss/excess from the council. That's fucking shocking to be honest.

[motorbyclist]

would someone post up the plan for today? when i get up i'll pop the motor back in my pocket rocket and roll on over

[PirateJafa]

Plan? Hah!

[BANZAI]

Morning people~

I went out Friday night and Saturday night so I feel pretty wasted (and I drunk more than usual last night hahahahahah)

I'm going to Stephen's place at 1ish so if you guys want to do carpark stuff come to stephen's first.

Hey anyone wanna wash your bike? I'm gonna bring bucket and sponge

Hi all, Guess I am the only active n00b in SMC but I thought to make thread like this would be useful.

The purpose of this thread is for those Learner riders in SMC to post when they want to do practice in car parks with senior members of SMC.

For places to practice refer: http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...ad.php?t=54559

So, what you think guys? Is it gonna be useful at all?????

Ok, so heres first L-plate rider's request....
Anyone free after 1pm on this Saturday?

it will be very useful,

im keen to come too and practice controlled front wheel lifting in the same carpark,

i can also come and help; and bring little road cones to make obstacles (basic handling skills test - ver 2.X)

peace

[Slyer]

Ask EJ about doing wheelies in the carpark. :P

[BANZAI]

Hey sorry guys I wasnt really planning today, coz I just realised after posting that I got work from 4pm lol

Sorry Andrew you came all the way to Stephens place

I'll try to be organised next time!!!

Yea that'll be awsome, tech me how to wheelie on GN

Ask EJ about doing wheelies in the carpark. :P

No we suppose not to know anything about that.

[motorbyclist]

if wheelies become part of the agenda the SMC learner rides will no-longer be.

in all seriousness, i would leave the learner ride. wheelies and learners do not mix.

however a SMC stunting day would be probably approved.

as EJ has learnt the hard way, stunts are for those who can afford new bikes.

you'd better be. spent several hours waiting for everything to be sorted, and then when we finally got to riding it started raining

rightly pissed off at yet another fuckup of a ride - and sure enough the weather is going to turn to shit for when i get my new bike

Wait until I get mine too - weather is meant to be right then.

[BANZAI]

Ok, since some guys are going to ride on Friday morning and I got some stuff on friday afternoon I should organise my own ride. (and I dont think I can finish my assignment by Thursday lol)

After 2pm I'm free on this Friday.

meet at uni 2pm, leave 2:30 and come back to shadows by 5-5:30pm ish.

What's your suggestions of routes? Could do Huia again, Piha, Westgate to Coasteville and back or whitford to clevedon and back

[BANZAI]

Me and EJ and his mate are going to

North Auckland Street Skills
http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...ad.php?t=77111

So if any of you are interested come along!!!

We are taking long way to westgate(ie. non motorway) so if you wanna pootle around with us meet at Mt.Eden Motorcycle at 5:30pm-5:45ish.

Or just meet us at westgate or albany car park.

Yes, I know it's short notice coz we only decided just yesterday night but you still have whole day to think about it!
