PRO Rider Motorcycle is going to have a training day at Pukekohe on Saturday 13th November 2010.It is a full day training (9am - 4:30pm) and costs $195.You can see details here including a video clip of the training.BMWOR had a similar training day at Taupo race track a long time ago and it was a really good training day (except it was freezing in the morning!! :-o).I am interested to attend the training and I wonder if anyone else is interested or not.You can book on-line from the page.If you have never ridden on a track, this can be good opportunity to try, as it is not a track day. 😎
Hi Wendy,I was going to talk to you if I join the Auckland ride tomorrow but I won't.So, I "talk" to you here. 🙂I think that this course will be great for you if you can attend.In fact, it should be good for Paul too, as the course is intend to for any level of riders.Some comments from the organiser." lots of people don’t think they “need” ongoing training, but it doesn’t matter what level our riding is at, we ALL can keep learning from it, this sport takes no prisoners, so it’s something to be taken seriously""Our day is not a track day, far from it - up to 30 people max. get the whole facility to themselves with the coaches for the day, so it really does give everyone a chance to practice, learn and upskill all the techniques for braking, steering and cornering – we pack a lot into the day which is why people come back, they can’t take it all in at once, and as you know , it takes a lot of time to learn the art of riding"I don't get any commission from the organiser, by the way. I just want to encourage people to regularly attend training, as I personally believe that on-going training helps you.FYI.Lunch is not included, so, you need to BYO.ACC wants to hear feedback from attendees.If they get good feedback, ACC may support this training next time.
Since I posted this, I report about the training.We picked the nice day for training. 😀Abound 20 keen riders attended the training.There was a wide variety of motorcycles in brand, model and size and there were thee BMWs.Training covered braking, steering, cornering and slow maneuvering.It sounds basic but what they taught us were very practical.The training ended with one on one sessions and during the one on one session, other riders were free to ride the track for practice.John Glasswell turned up from lunch time and stayed to the end of the training.He participated in the slow maneuvering session, so, I said to him "What are you doing here?" 😛He said to me "You never have enough training.".Attitude makes a difference 8)Skill level and experience of riders were varied too.Learners gained lots more confidence and experienced riders learnt something and every body left the track with a huge grin. ;DIt is different from practicing in a carpark because there are corners and track to follow.It is safer than practicing on the road because there is no other traffic.There was plenty of time to practice at the end of day for what you've learnt and plenty of space to do it, as there were only a limited number of riders on the track.I thoroughly enjoyed the training and I am keen to attend one of their training sessions again. 🙂
