Coffs Coast Small Bikes-Big Fun

16/04/2026

Many riders ask us about how to avoid "tensing up" in what they see as stressful situations. They want to develop more confidence, particularly in corners and in traffic.

A big part of avoiding the tension is knowing what the bike is going to "feel like" when you ask it to do something. For eg, how far can you lean, or, how to slow down mid corner.

Did you know that the first 2 weeks of the Police motorcycle rider training course is all about low speed skills? It's all about learning how to stay balanced. Then they build in speed after that.

Our new video attempts to help riders learn more about what their bike can does. The key is to learn at low speed so your brain has time to notice every little input and response.

We hope you find it interesting. The new Survive The Ride Video - https://vimeo.com/1171609742?fl=tl&fe=ec

Enjoy the ride

Hi 👋

I’m a Bonville/Coffs Coast local, and I ride a little CB125. I absolutely love riding my bike, and the local motorbike community is pretty awesome, but found that the group rides (while heaps of fun) are either a bit long, or I’m always lagging because of my smaller cc bike.

So hence this page. Hope to meet other small bike riders that just want to enjoy their ride, and don’t have to lag behind the big bikes. (Although big bikes are still welcome to join in)

I’ll organise a couple of group rides once we get a few followers to this page, so please share with your small bike riding friends.

Cheers, happy riding.
