Have recently learnt about the different kinds of brake fluid, bleeding brakes, and when to change brake fluid I was thinking I could easily do a 10 minute session on this should be need a theory night again.

Hi, been putting in some practice with my U turns. Went out to tackle Burwood Rd for my cornering and it was a breeze. I had been worrying about it for ages. So I did it twice then ended up doing Coatsville/Riverhead Hiway in the daylight and really enjoyed it and handled it well. For me, it is completely different than at night. So pulled into a side street and did my U turns. No preasure, no traffic and all went well. Best ride I have had for a few weeks. Just thought I would share!

Well done Beth! I need to do more practice myself on full lock turns from a stand still.

RRRS is way below your level Toto (done it earlier this year myself). You do some low speed skills, effectively cone skills, practice low speed tight turning manouveres, counter steering, and emergency braking. The other half is theory. Cornering, simple physics of motorcycling, a bit of talk about braking, etc.

What some NASS members did this weekend...

Those are good photo's, especially for fast moving objects. You've got some talent!

**Beth Stewart** · 17th May 2010, 08:04

Yeah I must agree. I have been trying to take photos of my grandaughter jumping her horses and most of them are missing body parts. Lol

Thanks. I've got a new camera, which helps a lot with that.

You have me tempted, as the other day I was looking at my camera compared to some others at a birthday party I had taken my children to and was thinking it was lacking compared to "modern" technology. And it's only about 2 or 3 years old as well.

So what sort of camera is it?
