I've been doing the single sessions at whatever the Q-Ride place is above Hinterland Motorcycle in Nerang. I've kinda got the sh!ts with them at the moment and haven't been back in a while. I've done at least, AT LEAST five sessions @ $75ea = $375 and still haven't passed yet. I think they've been dragging it out considering every session they get me doing the same thing, even though I'm alread signed off on what they get me to do. I'm not sure how many figure 8s I need to do for them to be content! Obsticle avoidance is the last thing on my list to complete and I can't get signed off on it if they don't get me doing it. And considering one lesson I avoided a pretty major obsticle, me and a falcon got cut off on a round-about by someone who was turning left into the *right lane (*the second lane on the left turn, two lane round-about if that makes sense, hard to explain) which sent cars trying to dodge it everywhere. Nobody seemed to notice I was busy dodging around their blind dodging. Anyway, came out of that completely fine. At the end of that the guy was like "that was pretty crazy"... I'm pretty sure that means I can and do ride a bike (have been for about 5yrs. Long story as to why I still don't have my lisense).

Then I'm getting in trouble, one lesson the guy afterwars said something along the lines of I'm too conservative and doesn't want to see me ride how I think he wants to see me ride, but wants to see me ride how I would if I was riding on my own. Then got up me the next lesson because I was difficult to follow me because I was banging merge lanes which was one of the specific things he wanted to see me do! Can't win!


That sucks mate. Yeah I got stuffed around a bit by a big training group here. Arrogant dicks, just wanted more of my cash till i told them i was going elsewhere.

Why not look in the yellow pages for a small/individual trainer? I had better luck that way. If your confident, just go in, do the test and get out. Wham, bam, thankyou ma'am.

Pumping too much boost through an engine is likely to kill it. Listening to the advice on Boostcruising will result in the same.
