I'm using a pair of IXS winter gloves (with the usual Thinsulate and latex inners) and they work pretty well. Reasonably warm and only £20 from J&S.

I know, that did sound good.

I currently teach CBT. The guy has probably asked for you to return for some extra training. You cannot fail CBT but you may not reach a safe standard. If so you are asked to return for an extra two visits maximum and then it is not economical to have you return. It is in the interests of the school as a business to pass you first time. But it is a decision that lies with the instructor as to taking you on the road cos if anything happens it's his/her teaching that is called into question. Reading the comments you made, I too would have failed you for being a total muppet. If there's a fat bird in front of you on a bike, how did you now see her and hit her. Next time just do as you're told to do and don't act the prick.

Well good luck and I'm here if you need a second opinion. Syco

Just to clear up this misunderstanding, my name IS Fergal and I do live here and I am an instructor/civil servant. My IP addy should confirm this. If you still don't believe me, I'll see you sunday at the AMT training site in Dunstable (and I'm listed on the wise-rider website. Card's still there so help yourselves. Fergs

Ok lads and ladettes. My name is Fergal, I live in St Albans, ride a 2004 FZ6S Fazer, and work both as a civil servant and as a motorcycle instructor. My virtual card is behind the virtual bar so help yourselves.

May not be of any use to you but I'm a trained advocate for ET's and hold an NVQ level 3 in Employment Law and Industrial Tribunals. Ask away, I'm sure I'll be able to give some advice.
