    SWMBO bought me a £99 gift voucher for http://www.driversdreamdays.co.uk.
    Most of the car stuff looks dull or the good stuff is much more expensive, so
    I'm going to have to chip in myself.

    More interestingly, they have bike stuff at
    http://www.driversdreamdays.co.uk/folder.asp?catid=112. I quite fancy the
    wheelie school, but ISTR that some of them are shit and I have no idea how to
    tell. Anyone aware of Paul Millhouse's wheelie school? If it's shit, I'll do
    the trials, I've always fancied a go at something off-road.

    given they're only just up the road from me, I really ought to give
    Amazingly, you almost look like you know what you're doing.

    Is that thing behind you to stop you flipping it? if so, i thought it
    might have small wheels on it rather than a lump of steel.

    I fancy a pop at that, i really do.

    I'm in the early stages of arranging a trip there atm.

    Of course, when I say early stages, I mean as in haven't made contact,
    don't have a clue when they do it, and don't know when I'd be available.
    Yet.

    You answered a different question. It's not all about you, you know. :)

    the same place Richard Hammond wrecked the rocket car ;)

    Me & one of my mates are looking at doing it, anyone else here up for it
    as we het a special rate for more than 3 loonies.

    ****. What goes around etc.

    Mental note: When posting supercilious comments to ukrm, check once, twice,
    then once more, to ensure that I don't look like a ****.

    Go for the trials day. Don't do the wheelie school as he teaches a
    really piss poor way to wheelie. Put it this way, if you tried to
    wheelie my bike (which isn't exactly a wheelie virgin and was bought
    specifically to stunt and crash) the way he teaches you'd get a damn
    good slapping.

    It was added after Bear did the day. Make up your own mind why...
