yup I think this was posted up last year and reviews were really really good..

SQ you were complaining there was nothing to do in Swindon other then hang around with the scooter boyz so here you go

IIRC they ask you to bring your own bike along to work on

Do you think they would let Project CBR in?

Sounds like it might be worth it, but I've already got the basics (after many years of rounding screws) will have a read up on it me thinks

no I cant lend you £30 I'm a student now!!

Yes they certainly wouldl let Project CBR in but you would have to ride it to the course...

I think they will tailor what they teach to those there and to be honest lets face it, it never hurts to go to these things and get a few more tips from them
