Bromley site eh, how handy. I should probably sign up myself up also

I'd get a gel seat if I were you

Thank you Mr Toad, I'll have you know my bum is pileless.

Hey, someone else local to me, woohoo!

I've got to wait for my licence and SV first, can't pick it up until a week on Saturday now

I think i should do the bromley one soon as the days appear to be highly recommended, i reckon its closer to me than the one from the ace cafe.

Kate - When do you actually take your test?

It won't be after you get an SV

Have you seen the seat

Where 'bouts? I'm just along the road from westmorland shops.

And don't worry too much about not having your bike just yet, best to wait for the weather to improve a little I'd say

I did a Bikesafe course with South Wales Police last autumn.

Took two days and covered about 250 miles................. absolutely brilliant and I'm much more confident as a result.

Best £80 I've spent in a long time.

One chap complained to the course leader (was was the copper who trains the local police riders ) that he'd been told he was riding his CBR600RR like "Driving Miss Daisy"

My DAS starts on Saturday, my test is on Wednesday and I'm picking up my SV on Saturday 15th.

I'm actually in Purley, just down the road

I found the DAS pretty tiring but then i'd never been on a bike before i started it. Do you know where you are taking your test? I took mine in wallington which is over sutton way so they might send you there as well. Good luck though.

When you've passed....

The back brake on your SV will work, unlike the ones on your test bike. I did a fairly nice long skid with the **** end weaving about on my first ride after picking up my SV
