Skinflints! I paid £90 for 2 days training back in 2000 or maybe 2001 - best £90 I ever spent because it made my riding so much more enjoyable!GregD-UK wrote: Sounds a bit steep that,
Go for it, I say - what would you expect to pay for a track day?
The tragedy of old age is not that one is old, but that one is young.

given my lack of ability it would depend on what got brokewhat would you expect to pay for a track day
For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

Re: Bike Safe
I've done one, it was a surreal but excellent experience.
I rode through London the way I normally ride, with a police bike filling my mirrors. I wasn't riding like an arse but neither was I riding like I was on my bike test.
We picked my commute route, which I knew like the back of my hand and it was interesting to get the copper's views on where I could improve. The feedback I got definitely helped me sharpen up. However, I've probably slipped back into old ways by now.
I recommend it to anyone I know, it's great value for money.
