The MegaRider.com site is the site of the New Zealand Motorcycle Safety Consultants (NZMSC). The NZMSC is a non-profit body working on motorcycle safety and riding skills promotion in New Zealand and internationally via the Internet.

Riding skills show. You can tell the expert rider just by watching him ride. What do you look like when riding? Ride and learn with the experts.

If you want to ride better - faster and safer, if you want to know the riding secrets that professional riders use to get the most out of their bikes, and if you want to feel safe in heavy daily traffic...and confident on your weekend rides, this site is here to help you learn how to do that.

The term "Megarider" is probably new to you. The Megarider name came from experienced US motorcyclist Lyle Noordhoek, a medical specialist who sees too many of the results of motorcycle crashes. Lyle is an NZMSC customer who, as happens with many of our customers, has also become a firm friend.

We agree with Lyle's idea that a megarider is the rider who can not only control his motorcycle with extreme skill, but also control himself and his emotions, and, in subtle and often sneaky ways, controls or channels the actions of motorists around him to help make his riding safer, swifter, and more enjoyable.

It's not easy becoming a megarider. There are many hidden aspects to motorcycling that are too easy to be unaware of - the vanishing point, countersteering, direction perspective, psychological control, hypothermia, message flow, crash survival techniques, etc.

To be a megarider, you must know about these and lots, lots more.

Remember, you are only as good as the people you ride with. You need to ride with experts to be sure of being really good. Top motorcycle racers rarely go into top level racing and start winning every race. As good as they are, the learn by being exposed to the environment of professional racing. You, too, need to ride with the experts to learn and grow.

It doesn't take long to learn the physical skills required to ride a bike. Once you've learnt them, you internalise them then move into learning higher level skills, gleaned from all sort of places - riding buddies, books, the media, and sometimes formal training courses. Sometimes you pick up bad habits as well as good ones. That's why you need a professional to gently critique your riding habits and pass on, either by example or by direct tuition, even higher level skills. That's one of the things we are here for.

We also publish and sell riding skills books and send out a free riding skills e-newsletter (see top left hand side of this page) to help you gain more internalised skills - to build your riding knowledgebase. We even invented a fun motorcycle riding skills table game to help riders gain more riding skills knowledge and information.

The reason for our existence is to improve motorcycle riding skills and to help riders ride well and safely and, in the process, increasing their enjoyment of riding. As a way of promoting better riding we have a MegariderPro system that allows you to become a megarider and maybe improve your skills in the process.

It isn't difficult to do and it can save you life in a crisis situation.

You can do it. All you need is the will to try. Give it a go!

On the MegariderPro site you will find advanced riding skills information plus a lot of training material.

REMEMBER, we also supply:

e-BOOKS and other books. You can choose from our range of unique riding skills e-books... pay by credit card and download them within minutes! And there are paper books available from the unique collection of high level riding skills book produced by the NZMSC. You can't learn high level riding skills unless you are exposed to them. We provide you with a way to get from us a huge range of information gathered over our 30 year's in the riding business...a way to gain skills and knowledge even your most experienced riding buddies won't know.

Fun and Information. This site is filled with riding skills information in both written form and in the form of entertaining games and exercises you can try on-line. For riders in New Zealand, our instructors, experts in their field, will get out there with you, check for any bad habits you may have, and show you tricks and techniques it is best not to pick up the hard way!
