Cheers to everyone who had a hand in organising tonight's ride/practice.
Good to meet all those who attended.
Was awesome to get advice and feedback, makes me wish I could attend more often but alas...

Good point, I gather that means no-one/not many will be working that day? If so and also assuming people dont have other commitments, it would be possible to make use of daylight earlier in the day...

Im open to suggestions and feedback...

Maybe a small day trip somewhere....

Could do the Kawakawa bay loop.
Or take a run up 16 to Wellsford and back.

Nothing too over the top. But something with lots of twisties hehehe

OI, go back to the first post of this thread Morcs and read it again. NEWB RIDE.

You should be setting a good example.

Learning to ride your own ride is as good an example as any.

Too many mistakes are made by trying to ride someone elses ride/pace.

And people learning not to try and keep up with faster riders is a very important thing. ala Disco corner.

Well if the weather is good, we should go for a bit of a ride to put our newly learned skills into practise...countersteering etc.

Maybe do a ride up to Puhoi pub?? Good roads, easy and not too far away. And theres other bikers there too...always good to have a yarn..

Or out east for a change? Go to Kaiaua for lunch? Its a very popular biker route.

I was referring to the boi racer behaviour.... PM if you want more clarification. Rather not clutter up this thread anymore!

A key quality of any mentor... lead by example.

Indeed and im not a mentor. I am an individual. I ride my own ride. I learn from my mistakes and others can learn from my mistakes too. As some of us dont necessarily have the experience (although ive been riding longer than a lot of people of bigger bikes) I help people how i can.

Lets not get too anal and serious about this whole thing as it will soon defeat the object why we ride - for the fun and thrill.

Very sarki "weasel" thanks... ...im trying to make sure he will set a good example as a 'more experienced' rider than alot of new riders. There is lots more improvement and experience required before there are any new 'mentors'.

We are all learning remember

Hmm *shakes head*
