A lengthy and wonderful review from Nalini Ganpat and extraordinary lady rider/racer... I have always been intrigued by motorcycles for as long as I can remember. Just hearing and seeing motorbikes on the road used to make me a feel as though something was missing in my life until I was introduced to Gonzo and the Apex team and that’s when I found that missing piece.
My first session with Gonzo, I was able to actually ride a motorcycle despite my previous attempts. I was surprised how patient and understanding he was despite my constant panicking moments. A few sessions after and overcoming my fears, I found my passion.
When I joined the Apex family, my first conversation with Gonzo was to teach me to race, and that’s what we focused on. From Larry Gomes car park on Saturday afternoons to Wallerfield raceway, Gonzo worked with me to make this a reality. Still a work in progress, but I debuted on the track this year and have entered 2 race events for 2023.
I then decided that I wanted to ride on the road. Kernell has been an exceptional coach to make this happen. Every evening, he would make the time from his busy schedule to work with me for approximately 2 entire weeks until I was road ready. He then accompanied me on numerous road rides to ensure that I was able to navigate the roadway safely.
Apex has produced numerous new riders both on the track and road. Gonzo and Kernel are excellent coaches that can take anyone from novice to competent rider/racer.
