Basic Motorbike Maintenance Course
 
At Clydebank College. Any of the westies fancy it?
They MAY not do it this year due to lack of interest, so please 'phone to enquire about it mid-August and register your interest.
Think it costs around fifty quid for an evening course
Thanks guys

I did similar in edinburgh last year with a couple of others from the forum. It was informative, although basic stuff (ajusting chain, changing oil, measuring tyre pressure, sparkies, servicing etc) but we were playing around with suspension and small engines towards the end.

I'd say it was worth it as I got a massive discount, not sure if I would have paid full price for it as I'd done most of it before. In saying that I think it is probably well worth it for people starting out in biking or people wanting to learn to do a basic service on thier own bike

No it was a series of evening classes. Have you tried local colleges?

Yeh I did it last year. I think they are in the middle of a course just now.

Are you on taysidebikers.co.uk ? If you are then pm Towbar (Kris) He runs the course.
