I'd have used this had it been around when I was learning. There were times I just wanted to get some practice in without my instructor breathing down my neck!

Good luck to you.

Will you be doing anything with larger bikes?

which is what I said in my first post

well you can but it isn't anything like doing it on a bigger bike so isn't going to help that much the U-turn aspect of your DAS test (which is one of the things that learners tend to struggle with most). It's fine re practising other things like general riding around though.

Brian, what's your business called and where exactly are you based? I'm from B'ham originally and know a couple of people who are thinking about taking their tests. Will definitely let them know about what you're offering

I would happily take this up. If maria ever decides to go through with bike training (although I understand why she is discouraged), then such a shceme could be invaluble to her building confidence on 2 wheels before the road section of the test.

I wish you the best of luck!
