Kiwi Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 Hi all, Completed level 1 at Hampton Downs (New Zealand) yesterday and I'd like to say a massive thanks to everyone (especially my coach Jason) for making it such an awesome day! I'll be back in November for my next fix. Been riding for about a year now (currently have a 08 CBR600RR) and I really got into bikes just for a means of transport for commuting to and from work. But ohhhh ever since I got my CBR it's so much more than that now. I'm an telecoms engineer / project manager so love the technology and science which goes into sports bikes, the physics behind what makes you go around a corner (or fast in a straight line!) and how the smallest changes can make all the difference. I'll be visiting often and as I gain more experience I hope that I'll be able to pass on some advice now and then. Cheers, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See you in November. Cheers Darren OK, fill us Yanks in on L & P. CF It is quite simply a brand of soft drink or soda that is available here in NZ. It is called Lemon and Paeroa and is a Kiwi icon.
