best thing is to keep looking around the local colleges, if they havent got the course you are looking for ask them to look it up in their books where the nearest place you could do it is, surely they'd have some info

nice!! 8) 8) 8) looks like you got a great bike there mate

good question R1caz, xtremes thread about people riding the wrong bike and only riding them because others do is very relevent to this. there are alot of crap road tests around now, all these idiots and their super 600's tests, the same ones each month, they make everyone believe these are the only bikes we should be on yet if alot of people would give the other bikes a chance they'd be surprised, and prob end up with a bike far more suited to their needs and what they want. what i'm trying to say is dont write a bike off as crap before you ride it, the road tests by alot of the bike press are rather suspect and make you think you NEED sports, r1's, kneedowns etc.. bullshit! but back to your original question(sorry :roll: ) i always try and have an open mind when trying out another bike, so i've never really had what you described, i was rather surprised when i rode a xv535 though, i know you might laugh but it really was fun, very comfy, handled surprisingly good wasnt all that fast but what do you expect, and i managed a 100 out of it. not my cup of tea but did open my eyes to say the least

er ok then 8)

no wonder their eyes are squinting that's not very pc is it, sorry to offend anyone 8) :wink:

yeah alex that's the downside mate, it's a pain in the arse getting the bike so dirty and if you ride all winter it's going to either end up not so nice or you'll be cleaning it everyday. i did that with my rd, every day after work in winter, cleaning the bloody thing for ages the tzr i used last winter was pretty cool as it was just a cheap hack. i might get something for this winetr too. the roads around here get terrible, even though the xj isnt the most fancy thing around i dunno if i'd like to ride it through snow, rain etc...

that really is a stunning bike rich, it's a credit to you

i ride all year round so get caught in the rain all the time(esp as i live in scotland ) i think with the right gear on riding in the rain can be great, i still really enjoy being on the bike 8) the key thing is the riding gear, got to be warm, waterproof and be able to move around easy. it's also very good practice for bike control, riding through winter will make you a better rider.

monkey piss i'd imagine

yeah that track looks great! 8) go and see the racing scott :wink: mind you, the boat does sound fun too :? 8)

wasn't looking forward to anything mate :? you're all regulars, you know what's on and what's not, and a bit of a piss take or arguement is fine and expected(as long as it's in decent taste), it's people that come straight on causing bother i cant be doing with. it's cool mate 8)
