Yes your right Wade, i need a two wheel hit also a one wheel hit as well. Just came back from the Hospital for my 9 week check up and things look good with the bones, but i'm in for another 2 months until i can walk without the croutches. Hopefully i can do the Eildon ride i planned for late november but we will see how it goes. Sitting around all day really PISSES ME OFFFFFFF , lucky i can drive .(Auto) |

I'm going to Cowbaw for the AM L2+ and I'm tail man for the PM L1/2 ride. Sounds like there will be some inexperienced riders there which is great.
I might have a bit of work to do in the PM. I need the exercise.

I notice how everybody talks about rides at different levels, L1, clubman etc. What are all the levels? and what do you need to move up or down levels?

Hi Stewart this is how it was explained to me when I first started riding with AMTRA
AMTRA rides are graded at 4 different levels.
The following is a description of each of the levels.
Level 1 For riders with little or no trail riding skills.
Level 2 For riders with skill levels above those of a beginner and usually easy rides with lots of
assistance given.
Clubman For riders with average skills and the ability to cope with most terrain and bike repairs
(Punctures, broken levers etc). Assistance given if required.
Experienced For riders with the ability to cope with all terrain with little or no help unless asked for.
Experienced grade rides usually cover long distances.
The last thing we want to do is take you out on your first AMTRA ride and have you not enjoy it. Consider your
skill level carefully and start out on an easier grade of ride. Remember that extremes of weather can change the
level of a ride from easy to hard and vice versa.
If you are unsure, contact one of the new member officers or ride leader for further information. Phone numbers
are on the front page or pre ride notices.
Items That Should Be Carried On Every Ride
Small personal First Aid Kit, front and rear (or 19”) tubes, puncture repair kit, tyre levers and pump, set of
spanners to suit your bike, throttle and brake cables (if appropriate), clutch and front brake levers, gear lever,
epoxy repair kit, tape, short length of wire, tow rope, small length of chain, joining link and chain breaker,
waterproof matches or lighter and DWF fluid. All these items can be stored on the bike and take up little room if
packed properly.
Cornerman System
AMTRA rides operate on the Cornerman System. If the ride leader indicates to you to stop at a corner, don’t
leave the corner until the Tailman arrives. No matter how long it takes, don’t leave the corner.
If you are on a ride and think you are lost, stop where you are. If you think you can find your way back to the last
place you saw somebody, slowly and very carefully return to that place. Someone will be looking for you, so if you
don’t stay put you’ll be harder to find.
The more you participate in club activities, the more you will benefit from the club. Come along to the monthly
meetings and meet other members. There is food and drinks available for purchase before the meeting from
6:30pm onwards.
All members should behave responsibly at all times. There are other people in the areas in which we ride and
most of these people have a poor image of motorcyclists.
Regards Will

Thanks Will, that all makes sense.
It might be a while before I get the chance to ride with you all. But next time I get back to Aust, I will bring my riding gear.
