Wink Re: Bikesafe police courses?

I have just booked one for 21st March at the Warren, Bromley. I am looking forward to it as I met the guys at BSB Brands Hatch and they seemed a really nice bunch.

I looked into the one in my area and they charge £50 but Bromley is supported by Gov and they only charge £30.

I asked about my load exhaust and they said as long as its within legal limits so if your bike isn't road legal I would check the website first.

p.s The title's supposed to say 'police'
Do it. The police might not like your exhaist, give them a call first to check.

They checked documentation before taking us on the road, so take MOT, insurance and license.
Same for me - I did the Hampshire Bikesafe in 2003 with twin 'not for road use' renegade cans - only comment was 'bloody hell, they sound nice.

Mebbe if we all ride into hedges they'll change their mind?

The South Wales is £100, so I guess Brunstrum can't be all bad.

Also getting a derbyshire one booked as they are subsidising 70% for derbyshire residents and 50% for those who use their roads.
