I won't be at this one. However, next month I'll have a job with normal hours so i won't need to be in bed quite so early. Yay more WNR for me! As well as maintenance nights of course.

Thanks for the heads up TA. The powers that be seem intent on "saving" funds from the sound of things. Will have to "get A into G".

Its better that you guys spend the money on training rather than it go back into govn't coffers to be spent of other less worthy things than us bikers eh!

As it stands the $50 does end at end of june, There will be more funding when it is announced but we don't know what level it will be at and probably wont take effect until the spring.

gloplg will see you on the 16th,for the apex course- will take it easy on you due to your 'age factor' I'll talk slow and loud and use lots of pictures!!

Thank you D I appreciate that and please don't forget to talk into my hearing trumpet. Also the pictures will need to be large due to failing eyesight.

FUCK YEAH MAINTENANCE EVENINGS!

I'm coming!

So, is the maintenance evening going to be postponed on account of the snow?

[gloplg]

Hmmmmmmmm????? Lovely weather isn't it??

But I think with this happening we will give the Wednesday Maintenance Evening a miss tonight. Yes I know I'm a big woose.

I dont think coming in from Darfield on sports tyres would be the greatest of ideas today.

I think you could be right.

Contemplating getting the DRZ out of the garage for a play in the snow though

Hi kids,

Here's a wee video from last weekend's trail ride up in Balcairn:



Hope you're all keeping warm!

This was the view I had yesterday afternoon.

So on Saturday I took part in the 2DriveSafe "Apex" motorcycle skills course.

Awesome. That is all.

Seriously though, I learnt plenty.

I've been riding for around 10 years and am a self taught "genius" when it comes to riding a bike. After all of an hour doing slow speed work my slow riding had improved immensely. (I never need to ride slow anyway but I'm sure it will come in handy at some point)

My lines through corners have also improved as I understand more about vanishing points and where to be to set myself up for oncoming twisties.

Anyway, I highly recommend the course and am sure Gloplug will have a few things to say about it after he tries to learn a few new tricks

[2DriveSafe]

Thanks for the feedback Garath, you did really well , took onboard the feedback and made some great improvements - Keep practicing those skills eh!

In the meantime if anyone wants to join Gloplg this saturday I still have a couple of places left - only $50 for 8 hours training!!

Visiit the website and email me to book!

We are also running a slow pro ( slow riding and braking skills) course on sunday afternoon at 1pm if anyone is interested. 4 hours same price $50
