REFRESHER STREET SKILLS are compulsory for all
Even if we only want to ride the twisties, we usually have to ride through traffic etc to get there. If we are touring, we will be riding through towns and need the street skills to be correct. This session will be held in various locations around Newcastle, Lake Macquarie and the Central Coast. Our group will consist of no more than 4 riders. You can join a group and meet new people or get some friends together and form your own group. (maximum 4 riders per group)
As this is a rider led discussion and practice, the topics below are a guide only as each group discussion goes in different directions. This is a 2-2.5 hour session with discussions held between riding activities. Whilst we expect riders to hold a full motorcycle licence, we understand that all riders will bring various skill levels and provide a safe space to explore ideas and ask questions no matter what level of experience you have.
Session Focus Areas:
- Our values and expectations
- Our individual riding history and paperwork / license check
- Bike assessment and set up
- Mindset and fear

- Buffers
- Riding Clothing and Gear
- Maneuvering both on and off the bike
