Anybody interested in doing the long loop via Old North Rd, meet at 6 or 6.30pm so we can get to the carpark on time for the ACC folk. G.

That is a good idea for those wanting a longer ride. Like I say, I'm keen for a good turn out for ACC ...

I think Tania will buy what she wants, but to put that into focus:

2010 600 is 2Kg lighter and only only 20Hp less than the 750 so I wouldn't see any great difference between Tania being able to handle one and not the other. Infact the 750 would probably have a more controlable spread of power.

Its not until you get to the 1000 that things get a little insane.... 5Kg heavier and a wopping 70Hp more than the 600!!!!

Even though it states:

"The term “Novice” in the context of this course is a relative one. It is expected that all riders have at least an unrestricted motorcycle road riding licence or a Motorcycling New Zealand Inc (MNZ) road race competition licence."

Sorry, I just want to be sure. Because if it isn't an issue, depending on if I have all the required gear in time, I'd love to give it a go.

Yes I will

My two cents worth.

Spotted Zealchick on the GSXR at Pt Chev lights (actually it was her distinctive helmet that i noticed).

She looked very comfortable and zoomed off at the lights without a care in the world.

Hi guys,

I'm a pretty green rider and have only recently ventured out of my suburban safe haven to the big bad world of motorways, country roads etc. so I have looooooads to learn.

I am thinking of coming along next wednesday with my not so newbie partner Timmeh:P just not quite sure which carpark it is?

Looking forward to it!!

And a gentle reminder for those viewing this thread that a representative from ACC will be in attendance at tonight's NASS. As if I need to say it - we all need to be on our best behaviour.
