I was gonna go to the IAM meet tonight...

Having said its fun it is missing the point slightly, not that it shouldn't be fun, but the whole point is to ride to the rules of the road and prepare you for a test, to get you your qualification and make you a safer rider...

erm... a tad confused here... is there anything in what I wrote indicative of "not riding to the rules of the road"

forgive me if I have picked up your statement wrongly but was only trying to say that its not all work work work and that the run made a welcome alternative to a normal observed ride

Oh and... Nutty, Bernie & Robert are askin for you

I stay just outside Falkirk so its a toss up whether to do Glasgow north or south or Edinburgh I think, (depend on their meeting points times etc) Have you found it beneficial?

EDAM seem to be pretty much a disaster... I've been a member for a year and a half, and I'm no further on than "You're on the waiting list". My renewal got lost in the mail, so I emailed to ask for a replacement form after I'd cancelled the cheque- it took them 3 months to send it to me... Not too impressive.

Paisley... Well, Charleston.

Whey hey! Went last night - and it was fab! Really not what I was expecting. I kinda had it in my head that it would be like a lesson - and so about town more. I did not expect to be eating chips in a pub in Arrochar!!! I was actually being observed by a guy who had just passed his test, so he is just getting trained up to become an observer himself. So he was being observed too!!! Then another 2 senior observers came along with us dfor the ride. So I basically had the benefit of 4 observers giving me advice. Really learned a lot, and already feel more confident!

Were any of you guys there? Obviouysly, the problem is you are introduced to people by their real names, and I only know your sign in names!!! I did not wanna go about the car park yelling "Nutty Tart" - I might have had things thrown at me!!!!

Funny enough, when I signed up at the bike show, I was asked "why are you joining." "I got a sales job off one of your Glasgow observors" "Oh really, who was it? "Eh, it was Hazel... um... umm..." "Ah, you mean Nutty Tart!"
