Great idea! Thanks

The day after I got my Learners, I towed my bike to Hamilton and did a riding course with RoadSafe,
it was FANTASTIC, definately worthwhile doing,
we practised lots of emergency stops, high speed slalom, it was heaps of fun and the experience was so valuable.
In the classroom we watched videos of riders crashing and talked about what made them crash, what they could of done differently
to avoid the crash..
I would recommend doing a similar course to all new riders..
There were heaps of mentors from Ulysses there to help and give tips..

Thanks for that. I am looking into doing something similar, I think it is a brilliant idea, especially for someone like me that has limited confidence

You can teach me how to crash huh? Just cause nobody wants to learn how to avoid those situations...

If the GN was up and running, sure
Only I'm allowed on the ZX6 (because that worked out well), only one other person had taken that for a ride, because I figure if he binned it, I'd nick off with his bike

Lol, all good man, wouldn't really want to ride anyone elses bike anyway. Knowing my luck, I would just end up binning it!
