    S/he wouldn't be a very good mentor if s/he did that now would s/he

    Just found on the kb calender a ride in tauranga tomoro night.might go if weather clears.maybe you should look there and see whats coming up in your area.could be fun to ride there,talk shit,go for a ride and who knows,you could be hooked!
    "I came into this game for the action, the excitement... go anywhere, travel light,... get in, get out,... wherever there's trouble, a man alone... Now they got the whole country sectioned off; you can't make a move without a form."

    Paved roads are just another example of wasted tax payer dollars.

    I'm feeling the same way as you but people on here are great and friendly and always willing to help.. if someone offers take it up. I'm going to in my area and I'm sure there are people in your area that are more than willing to help you

    That's what I was saying.. there are plenty of people who'll offer the help you want and have the patience and experience to mentor you properly. Jim2 or Riffer are top blokes... Mrs Kendog is a good 'un too....

    Nasty and Grub are lovely people who would gladly help you... there are so many in Welly that'll help without judgement or lack of patience.

    You have to give people a chance and you will be pleasantly surprised. Thats a guarantee

    Smile

    Contact BuckBuckNo1 via a pm (private message)

    He has the patience of a saint and he will come over to help you out...

    He started out on a GN250.




    Otherwise, if you live in a quiet street just ride up and down for about 1 hour at a time and do all the practise stuff over and over. Or head to your local industrial area in the weekends, as no one is around there then and the ideal time to learn.

    Check out BuckBuckNo1 thread that he started on 'Training and learning to ride'

    Good luck.

    get someone to drop you and your bike off way away from home and you will learn very quickly how to ride it
