With this guided ride, I was trying to target the REAL beginner riding enthusiasts. I won't cover riding in the city because that's another matter. On this day, we will work on riding through the rural/country/alpine/back roads (where the real road riding fun is!!!). Those who are already experienced bikers can of course join-in but seeing from the list of who have joined up so far, there aren't that many who are truly new to the biking scene and who probably need this guided ride the most.
The whole reason of why I am doing this is because I wana reduce the crash rate of Kiwi biker Rides, crashes that happen due to rider error. Quite honestly, it is shocking of how many bins there are. Crashes will always happen and trust me, I am guilty for crashing a few times (errrr, more than a few...) but when you are starting out new, you will be more at risk. With the right guidance, costly damages to your bike and sometimes a lot of pain and agony can be avoided.
When I started out new, I didn't really have the right guidance so I crashed way too many times. I didn't regret that because I did learn a lot from it and that's what I would call, learning it the hard way. However, all of you guys and galls don't need to go through the same thing. You can learn from my mistakes and know better.
It'll only make your riding experience more enjoyable and hopefully, safer.
So come on you newbies! Yes you with your GN125 or what ever you have. Just as long as you are a keen rider who wishes to go on proper road rides through our wonderful "back" roads in NZ, we want you to come along to this!! If it's an ego thing, then I can't help but if you are afraid or shy, DON'T BE!!!
