No, but my Mrs is going for her CBT tomorrow. The instructor is the husband of one of her friends, so could find out for you?

Funnily enough seeing an instructor I know for a freebie sesh on a brand new beemer tomorrow, there's usually plenty of tea/fag stops- I'll enquire.

wozza is a instructor iirc

One thing to bear in mind is that it requires riding in all weathers every day... might kill your love for it after the 5th day straight rain

But there are lots of perks like freebies/discounts from local bike shops - my instructor's head to toe in heingericke's premium goretex/ daytona boots etc. cost him sod all !

my mates training atm, hes got about 6 months unpaid to train up, then do his tests and get paid to do it for a living, there are companies willing to teach you and get you trained up but it costs you money to do it in 3 weeks i think. find a job in it in the spring is going to be no trouble i imagine, over winter its going to be harder for obvious reason.

If it wasnt for age and finacial restrictions i would do it as well.

when i did my test my instructors all had second jobs as couriers or race instructors!
