Ditto. PMed you RabidRat.

I've seen a few around, and I'm anyone know somewhere to get maintenance courses for bikes, but not just a handful of hours (2 to 4), I'm looking for 10+.

99% sure im down for this...but prob wont be able to be ready till like aug-sep.is it me of does the icbc guide book thing seem double the thickness of what it used to be?

Have the perfect beginner's bike for sale, see my sig =)

Spread the word!

I just passed my learners,

Im interested in the course, but 800 dollars is almost 1/6th the cost of a brand new bike, so fuckin expensive

anyone wanna just give me private lessons for half that much money?

It's true it's expensive.

Actually NO it's not.

Even if it was $10,000 it will be worth it.... its YOUR LIFE we are talking about... A bike is replaceable hence it can be ANY price but your life is not replaceable.

Take the hit and take the lesson, I have learned SO MUCH from it that I used now when riding on the streets which includes just which position to take when riding to prevent (HOUDINI)

^ good call,

Alright sign me up for the next wave

Feels good, knowing that something I typed could have saved someone's life.

Cheers!

Okay we now have a third, enough to kick Round 2 off.

If anyone else wants to sign up for this wave, you have until Sunday night to get back to me. Given how long it took to get this one going, I would estimate that if we have a Round 3 it wouldn't go through until about late August / early September.

Monday morning I'm making the call to PRS, so that's the cut-off.

It's expensive but I don't think you'll regret it. They really do a very good job of not just teaching you how to ride, but going over survival techniques and statistics of how people die on their bikes so you know how to avoid those situations.

im interested. i want to do night class A

Just PMed you my confirmation for Round 2.

If Round 3 gets started, please add me to the "interested" group.
Planning to go for the learners test within the next few days :)

joeytomato, are you wanting to sign up right now for Night Class A, or did you want to wait a bit for when we do Round 3?

alicelc, sounds good. Btw sorry the bike went to someone else, I honestly would've rather sold it to you if I could've haha. =(

Thank you, RabidRat! Hopefully Round 3 won't be too far away (late-July)? :D
Oh, don't worry. I should have seen it earlier. It wasn't meant to be :'(

same here

Hmm. Still trying to get a hold of PiuYi, gonna give him til tonight unless anyone objects =)

prs doesnt supply boots right??

Right - they supply everything but the boots.

when are you planning to do this second phase of prs ??? im going for my bike license in about an hour but not sure if i can get boots untill i get paid which is the 29th

what kind of boots do you need for riding?

sorry I know nothing

either shoes or boots specific for riding a motorcycle

wheres a good place to shop for boots? perferably in surrey/burnaby/coquitlam/pitt area

Imperial Motorcycles in Burnaby by Royal Oak skytrain station is one I've been to. They have a wide selection of jackets, pants, helmets and also boots I believe. Nice little place :)

glove: what size shoe do you wear? i might have a pair i can sell you.
