It's been tumbleweeds on here, life's been busy.

Watch this space for details of the event that is being planned for a venue in Kaiapoi in September, which is Motorcycle Awareness Month.

It's a far smaller event than we normally run, what do you think is a good thing for us to cover? Drop suggestions below.

Turns out no rider is perfect. 💅

Every rider has different skills, strengths and weaknesses on the road. RF courses can help you improve in specific areas with personalised tips and advice. Check in with a Ride Forever coach and find out how to become an overall better rider.

Not always in agreement with stuff on FB, but this one I can agree with.

Use the left lane, unless there's a reason to use the right lane.

Seems easy. Because it is.

It's not just good driving/riding, it's the law.

Word is that ACC is making their Ride Forever Courses free as long as they are taken before the end of November.

They are normally cheap, but until the end of November, there's no cost at all, because ACC is paying even the registration fee.

Just contact one of Canterbury's training providers; they'll sort the registration out for you.

I'm due for one myself; the bike's been tucked up in the garage for too long.

Get into it.
