The Owner/Instructor of Advantage Motorcycle Rider Training is Nenad Djurdjevic. Nenad has been riding bikes since 1981 and has been a professional riding instructor since 1995. He is passionate about motorcycle safety and has defended motorcyclists' rights in the media on a number of occasions. Nenad is a keen and enthusiastic recreational rider who has enjoyed a variety of experiences on motorcycles including touring Europe and New Zealand by motorbike, visiting the Isle of Man during the TT Races, cross-country touring by dirt bike in Africa, and trackdays at racetracks. Apart from the bikes he teaches people to ride on, Nenad currently owns and rides a 2006 Buell XB12R Firebolt and a 2004 Honda CBR954RR Fireblade which he shares with his wife Tania who not only rides but races motorcycles ! He is an active member of the Honda Riders' Club of Australia (HRCA), the "Aussie Buell Riderz" association and Perth Street Bikes and goes on rides with these groups whenever his schedule permits. |

In fact, Nenad organises the monthly HRCA (WA Chapter) ride which leaves Midland Honda on the 1st Saturday of each month from The Honda Shop in Midland. (Call or email for details if you ride a Honda and wish to come along on a ride!) Nenad's thoughts on Rider Training I believe there is nothing about motorcycling that a rider couldn't work out on his/her own given enough time and experience. However, motorcycling, like rock climbing, hang gliding and other high risk pastimes, is not something that one should learn by trial and error. In order to have a long and enjoyable riding career it is therefore important to become a "thinking rider". By this I mean a rider that takes every opportunity to learn from the experience and mistakes of others rather than trying to "re-invent the wheel" or worse, simply trusting luck. Modern motorcycles are expensive to fix if damaged and your health is priceless, so why trust luck? Quite honestly, I was lucky to have survived my early years of riding. After obtaining a learner's permit, a friend showed me the basics and then, courtesy of the slack licensing system of the time, I was away, riding wherever and whenever I pleased! |
