For comedy value Mr LPH ice skating last weekend was also very much like watching Bambi on the ice, with a few more expletives and he now needs to see a physio.

Sadly our ice rink have a policy of no cameras (for fear of child abusers they say) so only those present got to laugh at him. Normally I take the nephew skating, but I'm banned at the moment from going on the ice.

Funds allowing, id be up for an off road skills day.

I probably will do the BMW one at some point though as it's supposed to be very good.

I also wanna do CSS as well though

Yamaha do one as well, i think it is also cheaper and different options

I'd be tempted by a little pootle down to Track Sense. Though I'd probably use their bikes and kit.

I want to do a course where the instructor gets me doing it on my 600.

170 kilo 600?!

Would rather do it on my 105 kilo 520

And thought you were well past 40....
