    BHST info?

    Hey guys,

    Im wanting to do my BHST soon but am not sure where to do it.

    I have zero experience at riding a motorbike.. i am however fluent at driving a a manual car and a pushbike.

    I heard that passrite have a bad rep for there bhst, any reasons behind that?

    I live on the North Shore in Auckland. Is there anyone near by that will teach me and then do the BHST straight after?

    Many thanks

    Did mine with Passrite over in Otahuhu or whereever (I live on the shore too) and it was fine. Go do it.

    I was exactly the same, drive a manual and rode BMX for years and it came totally naturally. The hardest part was stopping and getting it into neutral ;D. Other then that my manual car training and 2-wheel experience paid off, it was just like riding a push bike down a hill!

    I had watched a lot of Mordeth13's videos and that's what pushed my interest to a point where I couldn't be a spectator anymore. In this video he runs through how to ride a motorbike for the first time.

    //EDIT: And here's the link to the book by Keith Code - A Twist of the Wrist 2: The Basics of High-Performance Motorcycle Riding. It will definitely be helpful if you plan on riding like a man some day.

    hope to be holding them at AUT either this weekend or next weekend, possibly both.
    Call me on 021 269 3246, or contact Riderskills. I will be conducting them for Riderskills on the 16th February, at Avondale.

    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..

    It's not the message that is DELIVERED, but the message that is RECEIVED that is important.

    Good, last thing I want to worry about is some crazed brother of yours with a bi-pedal nuclear missile equipped battle tank.

    I'm taking a mate to Riderskills this weekend.

    He's my 3rd referral.

    Wouldn't go anywhere else - patience of a saint, and a bloody good teacher, as well as fair assessor.

    I can't compare, but I did mine elswhere, and thought it was great, but it was a lot more expensive, so yeah - go Riderskills! (Especially as I have ridden with people who learnt at Riderskills, and they were all skilled riders!)
