Any one done a Rider Skills Course?

I did the BHS course with rider skills in rosebank road last weekend. Never ridden anything before and by the end of it I was quite happy, passed the test and got the certificate at the end. Quite good, the guy that ran it was real hard case.

Phil is awesome. Good sense of humor for an Irish fella...

it is $120 now. But I figure it is worth it to learn quickly and safely. Plus I get to use their bike.

The R.R.R.S. course is really good value at $50. can't wait for that one to come around.

Hi Folks,
I'm another newbie here and I'm doing my BHC tomorrow and was just wondering what gear do I need. I know they supply a helmet and I have some boots but do I need to get some gloves.
Any advise will be greatly appreciated.

My girlfriend (WickedToo) had never ridden a bike in her life and decided she wanted to ride as well. We got in contact with Lee Rusty (On KB as Lee Rusty) so that she could do a course and get her basic handling cert. It was $150 for the day (Sunday in Otahuhu) which included learning from scratch to holding her basic handlind cert!!!. When I dropped her off there she did not know a thing about riding a bike and was quite nervous.
I came back 3.5 hours later to pick her up and she was riding confidently around the car park. I was amazed.
Lee is EXTRMELY patient and is a fantastic teacher. I wouls not recommend anyone else after seeing his results. You can PM him on KB or PM me for his contact details.

I would suggest calling and asking as most instructors have different requirements.

Yep, go racing. Club days, track days (see KB Home Page). Closed circuits and a massive fun way to learn.

Agreed, once you know how to actually ride a bike (Starting it, changing gears, braking etc.) riding on a track or closed circuit will teach you heaps. I know that my riding changed considerably after my first track day!!!
