    Meanwhile dude we are just doing it anyways up here in auckland.
    Of coures it isn't a "KB" training night
    A couple of experienced bikers helping out a couple of novice riders
    Last night was interesting. 3 novices,2 helpers and 2 wanting just to shake off a little rust
    To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?

    Just like my discussion last night around the table about Hi-vis vests...... I think they make you MORE visable to fixated on! But for the sake of keeping warm, maybe I should don one on while we are training. (Makes me look important too )

    As for Trusting you.............. ever heard of the Trusted Profession list?

    "Rounding out the top 10 are veterinarians at 63%; medical doctors at 58%; kindergarten through 12th grade teachers at 57%; clergy members at 56%; judges at 53%; and police officers, dentists, and college teachers each at 52%, according to the release. The five professionals considered least honest by the public, based on the percentages of people rating the occupation as low or very low on honesty and ethics are telemarketers at 55%, insurance salespeople at 44%, health maintenance organization managers at 41%, lawyers at 41%, and automobile sales representatives at 8%."
