Sorry about that, and in future I'll choose words that don't obnubilate. :crazy

Can't agree with the alternate name.

Time spent on any matter however distantly related to motorcycling, is NOT time wasted! :-(((

Welcome to the next rung of "those who really care about important things". :grin

Legendary responder to enquiries.

All-round nice guy.

But a goodly number of posts does enhance the halo. o:)

Post by: Biggles on December 12, 2014, 11:12:00 PM: Rather than start a new topic, this seemed like a harmless thread to remind y'all of the opportunity to hone your skills with a refresher course.

Cost $199 for a 5 hour course- 1 hour in the classroom and the rest lapping the circuit for braking and cornering training.

Sounds like a great idea to hone our riding skills, where do you do the training and who do you contact

I've done them every year when the Gold Coast Council was subsidising them ($45 for a full day!) and had skipped them when I saw the full price. But the weekly "Motorcycle Writer" guy had an advert for that one so I jumped in.

You can go here:

http://hart.honda.com.au/ (http://hart.honda.com.au/)

and keep an eye out for specials.

Don't waste your money on a "track day" (Level 3) because our STs are definitely not suited to what they're trying to teach there.

As for "pointless posts", I thought this might be helpful to some, so apologise to those who regard it as pointless.
I 'll ignore the implication that I would be better off going riding since I believe I do a reasonable mileage each year.

Post by: Bikebear on December 13, 2014, 06:25:33 PM: I'd love to do a refresher course however HART don't do anything outside Brisbane so it'll never happen. Obviously riders in the city need training more than those in regional areas. :crazy

but Kate might.

Did somebody mention Scrabble? Cheers, John & Kate.

p.s... well done on your 4000+ posts.
