No one ever regretted doing something more than they regretted not doing it.

Do It!! You'll never regret it... unless you don't do it.

Except getting married.

Re: I'm sooooooooo tempted!!!

I would love to do something like that but 2 big problems stand in the way, I'm not very good maths so that side of the course would be hard for me. But I could learn:D

Also the money aspect, another 3-4 years in Uni, I'm still paying for my last degree. It would cost a lot of money to study again what real jobs are out there that pay well enough to jusity spending out on this course?

Well if anyone wants to sponor me doing a degree, then I would:D Anyone??

well my first 2 degrees are in maths so no problems there.....it's the financial side of things that stops me from doing it now :(

Re: I'm sooooooooo tempted!!!

I don't know seems a little high brow to me, guess I'm just a grease monkey at heart :smt102

Be interesting to see what was actually motorbike related and what was "padding" though .

Cheers Mark.

I learnt everything I know from that book, from operations on fractions, rearangment of equations, right through to partial differentiation and integration by parts.

Last time I checked, kingston ran a CBR600 or two in a club-racing championship; they tuned it themselves, built all the parts etc etc. Don't know how well they did, but I felt proud knowing there was a CBR600 racing with my universities logo on the side
