Practice ride shadow request this Sunday - plus open invite for learners

[Skut]

Okay, I posted this before, but could not follow through. My "latest" test is coming up (I say this as I seem to be a notorious choker when it comes to test time). What I am asking is for a patient shadow to get me out Malaga way (on Sunday, some great traffic free corners and places to practice turns and stops)
If other learners (with shadows), wish to co-ordinate then please express interest. It would entail suburban pace ride, slow speed work, maybe a modest (legal) fang around the deserted bends as a way to develop a feel for your limits as well as practice for the test essentials.
I will canvas my usual shadows, but I know they get busy, so happy for volunteers (hint hint) so anyone local who can help out and watch us noobs screw up are more than welcome. It is a low (nill) traffic area on a Sunday, so a great venue for practice.

I may be able to help you.
Will let you know tomorrow if my Sunday is clear.

You might want to talk to shure.... he also has his test coming up real quick. so need the time on the bike too.....he might want to meet up with you..

[Skut]

Hmmm a fellow Android fanatic Cool!

You might want to talk to shure.... he also has his test coming up real quick. so need the time on the bike too.....he might want to meet up with you..

if you know him, give him the heads up. I just know of a great place near me for low speed practice, and yet there is safe fun as well. Main thing is to arrange a time with learners and shadows that will work for all.

Hey Skut, this sounds cool.. now i need to find a shadow.. unless seb you're free

[r0gue]

Skut, fine to take you tomorrow, message me your address and a time, not too early though please.

[r0gue]

Hey Skut, this sounds cool.. now i need to find a shadow.. unless seb you're free

Guess i can pick you up before heading out, message me your address and i will message later with the time i will pick you up.

[Skut]

Okay, it is on. Malaga on a Sunday is an oasis of empty roads and corners - perfect for practice. Anyone wishing to tag along is more than welcome!

[shure]

Awesome, just sent a PM to rogue.. what time were you thinking of heading out?

[tim the pool man]

Wouldn't mind coming along, need to practise for my upcoming R test (will be on my 250 though)

Where and when?

[Skut]

When I hear back from r0gue (or he can choose to post while I go out for dinner ) I will let you know. Pretty much around Malaga industrial area (will give a definite meet point later tonight) - but there is a nice run out through Swan Valley after the low speed practice . Keep in mind, I am a cautious and slow old bugger!

[r0gue]

Okay, will be leaving Wanneroo around 9:20am to pick Shure up at 9:45am in Padbury, then on to pick Skut up at 10:30am in Dianella.
If you wan't to tag along and need a shadow, and are between these points, i am willing to stop in and pick you up if you give me warning.
We should be in Malaga at about 10:50am so if you want to meet there, just name a place..

Malaga? That's not too far from Whiteman Park! Feel like popping in?

[shure]

Haha sick.. will do if these guys are keen..

[Skut]

Easy meet point would be Bunnings car park on Malaga Drive 10:50am, northern end. The open ride after goes past Whiteman Park if folks want to peel off. After Malaga practice, there is a nice rural run through the valley back roads (to stop the plugs fouling...)

[tim the pool man]

Cool, hope to see you there (depending on how I go tonight in Northbridge haha)

[Skut]

Cool, hope to see you there (depending on how I go tonight in Northbridge haha)

hope to see you there (...and no climate talk )

Okay, my plan for me is to use the empty roads for slow speed work (Os and Es et al, general bike control) and then some cornering practice (simply because I suck) - ie repeat runs through a corner to work on the braking, entry speed and line - to get a feel for your limits and what the bike can do within your comfort zone (ie not pushing it, just getting in tune without traffic as a worry at the time, although still keeping an eye out of course).
After that, a bit of a cruise around back streets and into the valley as mentioned where the legal limit is a little higher.
That work?

[zx10seb]

Wish i could pop along....just round corner from me....

But seing as i took shure out today....wife has got jobs for to do tomorrow. DOH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But have fun....thats what it all about.....

Oh and rogue.....Give shure hell about his lane postioning...ha ha. beat on him till he cries.... ha ha. jokes...he isnt that bad.
