City & Guilds in Motorcycle repair and maintenance - anyone done one of these?
Been thinking of doing something like this for a while. YC showed me how to fit new pads today (piece of p!ss but didn't want to mess with them without guidance - thanks again!)...
http://www.yorkcollege.ac.uk/web/lll...e_City__Guilds just wondered if anyone on here has done anything like this? I like learning new skills all the time and it could open some new doors for me  feedback appreciated. The bit about "overhauling a 2 stroke top end" sounds like a laugh - could end up buying a stroker! ooh the possibilities

Re: City & Guilds in Motorcycle repair and maintenance - anyone done one of these?
I've thought about this a few times myself. Then YC came along, I've learnt more in his garage after bribes of cake and tea at my house...lol
I'm sure if you took up a 'baking class' the job would be a good un!

I reckon YC should start doing his own Masterclasses

lol!
i suggested this to him yesterday - YC's online tutorials with hi res photos and maybe videos of the man himself slapping copper grease everywhere he wouldn't make any money though  unless you paid a small fee for access to the tutorials?
