I've just been speaking to Paul, who I think many of you know, from The Wheelie School and I thought I'd pass on a bit of what he said. I think it's fair to say most of you know about the place and that they do gift vouchers etc. but he's decided to change a couple of things that may be of interest. He's going to open the school over winter, and use 600s instead of the 12s if it's wet; he's opening at weekends now; and he's dropped the price to £135, which is probably a little more acceptable when compared with the cost of a trackday. -- Veggie Dave http://www.iq18films.co.uk "To assert that the earth revolves around the sun is as erroneous as to claim that Jesus was not born of a virgin."

I was hankering to have a go, you know. Midlife crisis, turning the half century, still frit of putting the front wheel down. He's just made my decision easier, but I'm not sure about the 600 - "...it's a vibey piece of shit compared to the circus stunt bike that the 12 is."TM BBear, Esq.
+1, except with me I'm sure the front wheel's going to loop over my head as soon as it's more than 0.0001mm off the ground. When are you thinking of?
He's planning on only using them in the wet. But then the reason you'd go to Paul rather than anyone else is that you'll be taught a technique so that you can wheelie rather than how to get the front wheel of a specific bike in the air ... if that makes sense. As you don't have to take the 600 home, I wouldn't worry about it. Oh, I haven't posted any contact details to avoid SPAMming. I assume everyone knows who Paul is? -- Veggie Dave http://www.iq18films.co.uk "To assert that the earth revolves around the sun is as erroneous as to claim that Jesus was not born of a virgin."

I think he still does a max of six people. I'll just give him a bell and check... Okay, yes, a max of six. -- Veggie Dave http://www.iq18films.co.uk "To assert that the earth revolves around the sun is as erroneous as to claim that Jesus was not born of a virgin." Cardinal Bellarmine
Hmm. Been puzzling about that: before Christmas, as the weather gets even worse and if I put it off till Easter then it won't happen as there'll be shitloads of other stuff not to do.
Too late! I'm booked until after Christmas now. Just before Easter? -- Catman MIB#14 SKoGA#6 TEAR#4 BOTAFOF#38 Apostle#21 COSOC#3 Tyger, Tyger Burning Bright (Remove rust to reply) 116 Giulietta 3.0l Sprint 1.7 GTV TS GT 3.2 V6 Triumph Sprint ST 1050: It's blue, see. www.cuore-sportivo.co.uk
