Default Advanced riding stuff

Folks,

Way back in spring a few of you said you may be interested in the IAM advanced riding in Wokingham. Just a brief note to say it's on again this Sunday (and every third Sunday of the month) at St. Crispins School Wokingham. Get there for about 9 ish for a free assesment ride or just to point and laugh at old fat beardy types on boring bikes. (there are one or two)

If you want more details, drop me a PM.

Cheers,
Mark

Sounds like Roger. Rode a Pan? Weird kind of chap. Binned his Pan and went and got another one exactly the same. Some could say he lacks imagination.

So did you carry on or just do the free assesment ride?

Still considering it but can always find something else to spend my money on. Usually the mortgage. I need some wet weather confidence.

I have no doubts of that. However, Mr Funny Knickers, I am not confident riding in the wet.
