Not new, no, not that I'm aware of anyway. He's from the UK not sure how long he's been here. He's listed on the NZTA website as an instructor and works mostly out of Pukekohe area. And no, he's not terrific, he's bloody brilliant and a really nice guy, imo. He's also a stuntman, works on movie sets etc. so travels overseas for this. By day I believe he's a motorcycle mechanic in puke.

You guys are making me nervous now. My test is about 3 weeks away, but there is not much opportunity for training here as Taupo doesn't have any riding training schools/instructors. Maybe I should try finding something in Hamilton again. Would at least make me feel a bit more relaxed going into the test.

I am sure you will be fine. I just don't want to embarrass myself and/or waste my time, want to pass the test first pop.

Hi Grasshopper,
Why don't you give Roadsafe a call, and see if they will be running any ACC courses in that area within the next 3 weeks? 0800 BE ROADSAFE.......It's a free cal.
If Taupo wasn't quite so far away, I would come down to give you a lesson myself... If you could get to south Auckland, then I could def help you out.

Give it a thought. My number is 0800 4 LESSON... Motorcycles 100% test pass rate

Ok, peeps.
I am looking for some volunteers to help me with my CBTA1 (Competency Based Training and Assessment) trials. I need about 20 riders.
These riders would IDEALLY have been riding for a few months, and be near the Restricted Licence test standard, but if they are higher or lower, or on any bike licence, I can use them as well.
If you have had some training, or not, that's ok too.

If you are interested in helping to make the roads safer for motorcyclists, then please contact me to make a booking.
My approved test route is in the Rodney area..

You might be asking yourself, "What's in it for me?"
Several benefits really......
A chance to have an honest assessment of where your riding is at, at the moment..(on a bike, you don't get a second chance to get that overtaking/cornering manoeuvre correct)
Secondly, the chance to help make our roads safer for those who love to have the wind in your hair, and the flies in your teeth ;-)......
And each participant will be entered into a draw, for the chance to win a SUPER DUPER PRIZE PACK....

Can I please ask you to share this with your biking mates, or on the walls of groups, such as Mag New Zealand, Facebook bikers, New Zealand Motorbike Riders, other KB forums, so I can get a broad range of riders through the assessment.
If anyone would like to undertake some training prior to the assessment, then please contact me, sooner,, rather than later...
www.rcsom.co.nz or rcsom@xtra.co.nz or PM me, through FB or KB
My cell phone number is: 021 269 3246. 0800 4 LESSON

Are you currently only doing CBTA1 trials? Will you be doing CBTA2 ones anytime soon, which are the restricted to full tests if I'm not mistaken..?

**Tricia1000** · 4th June 2013, 19:10

We aren't working on that at present, just the CBTA1. I expect that once we get the scoring sorted for CBTA1, the CBTA2 will fall into place also...

**Tricia1000** · 6th June 2013, 17:21

I have 2 spaces available for CBTA trials tomorrow the 7th June.
1 space at 09.45, and the second slot at 11.15..

Do I have any takers?? First come first served basis..
These are the trial stages to check whether the marking sheet is adequately marking a riders faults..
If you are interested in helping to make motorcycling safer, for everyone, and interested in having a test specifically for motorcyclists, instead of being followed in a car, then please do get in touch.. 021 269 3246 or 0800 4 LESSON, or send me a message.

I will be doing CBTA trialling again on this coming Sunday. Is there anyone out there, who may be able to help me?
It will just take a little over an hour. This addition to to the motorcycle licence, will help to reduce your overall licence time. The quicker I can get enough people to trial it with me, the earlier it will be brought in.....
Please let me know also if there is another day, that you might be able to do, if you aren't available on Sunday..
I would really like to get all my trialling done, by the end of June.. please test or call on 0212693246

Any local Roadcraft School of Motorcycling Ltd. followers out there??
I am still in need of about 5 candidates, who could spare 1.5 hours to help with the trialling of the CBTA?
In order to fit the criteria that we have been given, you will need to be on your learners licence, but at the point of your licence, where you are eligible to sit your Restricted licence. You will also need to have a road legal bike, with rego, wot, and L Plate..
I would really like to get these trials sorted before the 16 th July, so if you can help me out, either PM me, or comment below.. thanks,
