    sounds good. I have thought of organising a rally - "250 under 250"!! Gold coin entrance procedes to helicopter rescue or whatever. But that would take a whole lot of organising. Tomorrow too short notice for me too and unfortunately have work next weekend so you guys enjoy the trip. Thanks for the private mail - I would have missed the posts otherwise.

    Hey guys, awesome to see there's plenty of interest. Obviously I've left it way too late to organise something for tomorrow, but I'm definitely keen to work something out for next weekend.. then perhaps we can make it a regular thing =)

    I'm looking forward to riding with other 250's, I'm sick of being left behind by the big bikes! Also a good way for us to share tips/tricks etc and get advice (although we're all noobies, I'm sure we have learned a lot already!)

    I'm actually doing the ride right course next Sunday, I've been told it's the best thing you can ever do.. anyone else doing this / have done it?

    Ben, gimme a txt on 021 225 2474.. I was hoping to leave about 11ish, as I need to be back in town by 5pm and better to be safe! Definitely keen for a ride though =)

    That's a really good idea - definitely something to look at when we get a good group together =)

    Right guys, here's the plan! So far there's just a couple of us, but if anyone else is keen to tag along that would be awesome.

    Plan is to meet at BP Connect Southern (on the 1-way heading south) at 12 midday.

    We're thinking we'll go to Middlemarch and back, but we can always detour if we find something fun along the way!

    Let me know if you're keen, otherwise just show up at 12 and we'll see who's there =) Feel free to txt me on 021 225 2474 if you're running a bit late etc.

    It's awesome! I enjoyed it. The actual practical riding segments of it is pretty much just reinforcing what you had done for the Basic Handling Test, but it's fun doing it in groups and good knowing how your own bike handles the "obstacles".

    The theory segments are very informative. Last week's class was very responsive and engaging and helps make the lessons funny.

    I would say it's a good course to attend!
