Please put my name down provisionally for level 1 on 6th Apr.

FYI: My email to Jaime didn't go through. The error message included "rejected by the server for the recipient domain bmw.co.za". Checking previous communications, I think the email address in the hyperlink was supposed to be jaime.heyns at bmwdealer.co.za instead of jaime.heyns at bmw.co.za.

Hi Peter,


What exactly are the differences between the Level 1 training and the Level 2 training? What are the prerequisites?

Sent you a pm Stefan.

John and I are busy reviewing the course curriculum at the moment to make Level 2 more "interesting" which will mean some pre-requisite exercises in Level 1

Can you add my name to the list please. 

I'm also keen on doing some road based training, just to make sure I'm not developing any bad habits so if you have any advice for me I'd appreciate it.

You start the game with a full pot o’ luck and an empty pot o’ experience. The object is to fill the pot of experience before you empty the pot of luck.

I just want to double-check that I'm on the level 1 list, as I know someone who received a "final arrangements" email, but I didn't. Perhaps it's because I rsvp'd via the forums? Looking forward to a fun day in the sun. Cool

Kudos to the organisers. It was an awesome day. I always find the training uber-useful, even when I can't do all the manoeuvres due to newbie-ness. It's great that I can compare it to my previous session and spot the improvements.

The next training day ie 7 September is fully booked.

The October session would be a good one for focusing on pillion training again, for those who are interested.

Hi Pete

 

Please put me down for level 2, October training session.

 

If there is an opening for level 1, you can "downgrade" me to rather attend that instead of level 2.

 

Looking forward to another GREAT DAY

 

Many thanks

To all the guys that provided the training on Sunday a huge thank you. It was the best ever.  To Neels who provided training to the level 1 guys soos hulle se "Jy mag maar".  Just need to get Neels a GPS as he tends to drift off course and somehow we ended up in mud ek was lanklaas so blerrie moeg om daai bike uit die modder uit te kry.

Met some nice people all and all it was a stunning day.  Well done guys.

Hi All

Please note the change of date for the last training session of the year.  It is now on 9 November and not in December as originally planned.

We are planning to give pillion trainin on this one, however that is only worth while if there are 5 bikes or more ie 10 people in the pillion section.

Please let us know if you're keen and we'll arrange it.  Names to Jaime at Donford please.

Cheers

Pete
