    Did you consider maybe getting a 400 or 500cc bike due to your size??

    Remember, that GOOD QUALITY TRAINING stays with you forever. It doesn't get sold with your bike, or expire with your rego. It stays with you FOREVER..

    I've recently moved to Auckland too. Have been riding for a few years but I am keen to meet some people to ride with - located in Whenuapai myself.

    Shoot me a PM and I'll give my number to organise something.

    The next ride that I will be organising will be in early January, if anyone wants to come along. We had a terrific small group ride about 3 weeks ago. Keep an eye out for notices about a ride out at www.facebook.com/roadcraft .
    All levels welcome.

    Training offer

    For those new to Auckland, the best present you could buy for your self and your bike, is a one to one training session, using bike to bike radios. Once you can fully understand issues such as where the weight of your bike is, and the importance of the weight being in the right place, at the right time, or how to correctly steer your bike, how to correctly do a hill start, etc etc, then your confidence level will soar.....

    When purchasing bike and gear, unfortunately the bit that gets left out of the budget, is the training.....
    And $$$ spent then on repairing the bike, when it is dropped, scratched, smashed etc..

    I can offer 3 hours at a reduced cost of $200, normally $250. If you can honestly say, at the end of the lesson, you haven't learnt anything from the lesson, then you will get a full refund...(new students only)
    This offer is limited, and expires on the 24th January 2013.

    Goodonyer Trish! For about the cost of a helmet you can catch 'em at the top of the cliff and avoid the need for the helmet after the fact.

    Of course, I don't need any training as I've been riding bikes for 42 years and haven't crashed one yet...

    Well there was that embarrassing incident when I was showing off my new bike and called in to my mate's workshop, stopped, blipped the throttle to hear the echo of the V-twin, switched off and went to step off it.... there was this small matter of forgetting to put the stand down...
