You missed riding with us!

I did but the mission I was one has turned out to be worth the time.

I should be there next week.

I'm a mechanic.

Fair enough, I bought some bike parts off trade me from a guy with the same user name who lists himself as an instructor.

Welcome along.

Very bumpy road.

Tiz a nice wee loop if you did the one Im thinking of.

Maybe in the daytime.

Maybe in the daytime.

You dont always ride on nice well street lighted streets when riding. It all adds to the flavor. Me, I like rides like that.

Baby steps for me I think. That was pushing my skill level (or lack thereof).

Was very much a learning curve.

Suspiria de profundis, longum iter est per praeceptia, experientia docet-autem, imprudentia, inscientia est opinion praeiundicata nunc innupta dextera ab propaganda. Rusty but I think you'll get the gist.

Debate is healthy and having an opinion is an admirable quality. I can see you enjoy provocation and challenge, we're a mixed bunch and are definitely up to talking turkey..but we usually talk shit, catch up and knock sum back at watering holes. Seriousity gets put on the back burner unless its bike talk. However Missy, you come back ya hear, it'll be good for expanding ur horizons and we can work on ur baby steps, cornering and night riding. Once you get ur technique right, ur confidence up and are familiar with the roads by night it'll be better and you'll feel more at ease. The repetitive nature of the route helps so that unknown factor is taken out of play and you can concentrate on your riding moves. You'll also get used to the way each of us rides, and will learn to anticipate how each rider fuses adaptation to their bike, with technique and style. We don't ride to race, we're practicing technique and unless you do something totally bizarre and have a brain explosion that puts others at risk, we're not there to judge. But we are blunt in delivering truths. Forewarned.

Roll roll up who is coming out to play ?

[nzspokes]

Phillip from Riderskills (who is the best trainer in the world) has offered to Sass learner riders some free training under the set up of the CBTA. So this is to help L platers prepare for the restricted test. Cost on this is nothing, nada, nil. This offer is something that you dont see often, even more so with the team from Riderskills. They are the best.

I would normally recommend Phillip from Riderskills as I believe he is the best in the business. That makes this deal amazing.

But for non-L platers Riderskills is still the best, may not be the cheapest but quality is never the lowest price.

Contact Phillip directly on 021 710 792 or info@riderskills.co.nz.
