Lately I have been looking around with some companies to do my Q-ride with. Im interested to know whether to go with a 1 on 1 or group training course. I have no experience with motorcycles. Obviously the 1 on 1 course is a little more expensive, but money is not an issue if im getting better results at the end of the day. 1 on 1: AMA - $50 per hour (3 hours per day, avg 5 days = $750) Group: Morgan and wacker - $400 ish i think Ride smart - $$ unknown All comments are much appreciated Edit: Looking for a company for either north side of Brisbane or around Brisbane - no coastal companies This post has been edited by JonJon: Aug 18 2009, 03:20 AM -------------------- |

Done mine at Aegis a few years back now and that was in a small group. I dont think I would go for 1 on 1 as the groups are only small anyway (I presume they still are now) and there are benefits to learn with a few people there with you anyway. |

I did mine through Team Moto (bought a bike thru them) and I had to go down to Moss St, I think it was the Honda dealership there. I recommend them, they were good, although I had a little riding experience already. |

I looked around and got some quotes. 1 on 1 with the instructor is leading the pack with around $800 - bit out of my price range and as i think about it, id rather learn in a small group, learning off peoples mistakes etc. Looking at going with HART or ridesmart (both in my "neighbourhood") and both fairly well priced $350-$400 for 2 full days. |

i did mine at pro honda no previous experiance one day open licence $220 and i am still here 3 years later +1 although i had some experience. Having said that, I would of preferred having none, as I learnt a lot from the 1 day course, and it would have gave me the roadcraft to avoid the mishap I had on my L's on a mates 250. |

Finally booked my course for this Friday and next tuesday with RideSmart. I was wanting to go with HART but they are pretty much booked out and I wanted to do it before I went back to uni. Its $380 - similar prices to HART and I'm pretty excited to get it done and get my bike. Thanks for the advise guys. |

Looking at keeping it "legal" (or under LAM laws). Maybe it would be best to learn off-road on a dirt bike or find a decent 600 roadie. Can you ride 600's on your RE these days ? |

Can you ride 600's on your RE these days ? Yeah as long as the are LAM approved. Im keen on the "ducati monster" look - slightly bigger. Day 1 was pretty good. Only a 3 hour session and will finish the next bit (8hrs) on the next day. Got everything down pat, just getting used to using the clutch with my hands. A few stalls considering I have been driving a manual car for the last 3 years... |
