Or admire it, up to you

No one ever regretted doing something more than they regretted not doing it.

Do It!! You'll never regret it... unless you don't do it.

Except getting married.

I would love to do something like that but 2 big problems stand in the way, I'm not very good maths so that side of the course would be hard for me. But I could learn:D

Also the money aspect, another 3-4 years in Uni, I'm still paying for my last degree. It would cost a lot of money to study again what real jobs are out there that pay well enough to jusity spending out on this course?

Well if anyone wants to sponor me doing a degree, then I would:D Anyone??

well my first 2 degrees are in maths so no problems there.....it's the financial side of things that stops me from doing it now :(

I don't know seems a little high brow to me, guess I'm just a grease monkey at heart :smt102

Be interesting to see what was actually motorbike related and what was "padding" though .

Cheers Mark.

Maths is hard, granted - but if you really really want to learn enough to get by on a university level course, then the book "Foundation Maths" by Anthony Croft and Robert Davison (ISBN: 0-13-045426-5) is not a bad place to head for help. I learnt everything I know from that book, from operations on fractions, rearangment of equations, right through to partial differentiation and integration by parts.

Last time I checked, kingston ran a CBR600 or two in a club-racing championship; they tuned it themselves, built all the parts etc etc. Don't know how well they did, but I felt proud knowing there was a CBR600 racing with my universities logo on the side

May be skip the maths bit, do the pratical side of building a bike! As Mark said how much of it would be uesful anyway, I have found out on no matter what course I have done, there has always been a bit of padding it out!

I reckon these courses are probably more useful if u are interested in a career in racing and maybe new product development/design.

if you fancy opening a garage then there are cheaper ways to learn the trade :)

+1

The degree course is an engineering course; so lots to learn on combustion chamber design and all sorts of other things that make bikes go faster within the confines of certain parameters e.g. a given petrol tank size and a given engine capacity

And chassis design is always needing attention, there are lots of funny things to do with putting in flexability in some places and stiffness in others
