I passed

Nicely done mate - lovely day for it yesterday, which brought its own pressures I suppose. Your insurance costs must be getting near the floor!

Cheers Rob

Insurance is not too bad now as I am only paying £108 f/c with no voluntary excess which includes the motorists legal protection waffle (So £83). The IAM thing should knock 5%-10% off that so it will probably make a pint of beer or two of a difference. Being an old git does have some advantages I suppose.

I'm sure there are more advantages, but I can't remember what they are.

Yeah, but they'll put the increase back on your breakdown cover !!!

Only kiddin'

Well done, I had every confidence in you passing. You can train me up now.

See you at the National

Nice one Gordon, at least it's out the way now and you can start putting the GS on/off the stand safely again

So does this mean you are now trained to keep up with me?

Only in beer drinking and pie eating

[winxp-master]

Strange how i typed that and it qouted rgarrioch? lol

You could easily out do me in the beer stakes, i'm a lightweight when it comes to sinking pints, but pies are a different matter

[Snaphappy]

Well done Boris

which we had something similar over here,
I've done advanced riders and drivers courses but it makes no difference financially (quite the opposite there efffin' expensive to attand) and they are no way as close to the standard of IAM or RoSPA, hat off.

Have we any observers in the forum ranks???

[outrunner]

Well done Boris, but will you still speak to us when we wander all over the road?

Well done yerself Boris.

Must have been that extra bit of "tuition" on the way back from Galloway that did it . . . . . . . NOT

Well done Boris

Passed my test some time ago now and immediately went about taking observer training.

Got a good way through it until my work took over a lot of my 'free-time' so handed the chalice over to a guy who has since passed and now observes associates.

It was the amount of free-time that you had to give up that stopped me from continuing as, if you don't already know, being an observer is a little like being a pilot of sorts.

To continue to be an observer you need to keep up your 'flying time' with regular observed rides and observer training courses.

So what with work, normal biking stuff and a pretty young family I had to postpone it but hope to give something back once I get the chance.
