Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Beer in one hand - throttle in the other - body thoroughly used up,totally worn out and screeming what a ride

Just as a point of interest.
If the riders coming on this ride could please in a few words list what they wanting to practice.
Just so I can get an idea of a layout to suit the majority of riders.

G'day John, Unfortunately I will have to pull out of this. Unforseen commitments have popped up and I wont be available that weekend.  I'll look forward to the next one. Thanks Simmo (Neil) |

As a complete newbie I keep on being told to give it more throttle so obviously something I need to work on. Also, starting from a stop on a down hill slope, tend to get caught in a brake, clutch, throttle death grip.  Thanks Cate. |

Hi John, I am thinking of Joining AMTRA I have very very little experience and a humble Yamaha DT175. I'm an old fart (hoping I can disprove the theory of teaching old dogs new tricks  ) firstly do I need to be a member to join this ride and secondly will my bike hack it? |

No you don't have to be a member, you can come and have a go and see if your cup of tea. Sounds like you would fit right in , does your bike have reg? Old dogs have been known to bite  |

Thanx for that, John.
I got an e-mail from Dom today regarding your ride and you have answered it for me.
I'll send him a message as well.
