    Strange. I PM'd McVicar the other day about this very subject. He PM'd this link and some other details 'cos he said I wouldn't read the whole thread (He was right )

    Is this what you were looking for?

    The link I sent Jim was this one:
    http://www.xrv.org.uk/phpBB2/viewtop...hester&start=0

    Just humour him. he is getting on a bit. :P

    If (like Jim) you don't read the whole thread the Ady Smith school at the start of the thread is not the one we eventually did.

    THANK YOU

    Thats exactly what I meant

    Now just gotta get me a bike sorted so I can get the revision over and be ready next time you go!

    How much kit do they supply on the day (or do you lot always look that colourful )

    Did it make you consider a bike with slightly more off road bias.........Dominator?

    Thanks again for the pointer.

    Kevin (cabby)

    P.S. That link posted on there was gone.

    Cabby,

    They supply everything except lunch. Armour, bikes n boots, helmet n gloves shirt n trews are all included. The only thing they don't give you is the instant ability. Sadly!

    A great day out and you learn a huge amount about how a bike handles when conditions are less than ideal.

    Falling off is part of the fun, isn't it McV?

    Seriously, we all enjoyed ourselves enormously, I'd love to do another

    Cheers

    We ALL fell off, over and over and over again. It was practise so that we knew what the sensation of falling off was like because, of course, we NEVER fall off without meaning to. Do we

    What respect we earned that day, dirtbike heros, everyone of us
