    Specifically, Paul Gower's.

    Anyone up for it who hasn't done it before?

    It's actually a teaching issue - people on their own bikes were simply
    too scared to learn.

    I had already decided to do it this year so I would be happy to go along
    with a contingent from ukrm.

    It should vastly improve your throttle control, amongst other things.

    Also, it means you'll know what to do should a wheelie happen inadvertently.

    So, it should result in you being a safer rider.

    Dunno. Depends on numbers and availability. Not til it warms up a bit
    though.

    In fact there will probably be three or four of us?

    Good call.

    I might be interested, depending on the date.

    this bit's more pertinent:

    ", if you are a lunatic, maniac, show off, idiot etc. please, please,
    please do NOT book with us."

    it's only up the road from me, so it'd be rude not to.

    Any time from May onwards, I reckon. There's a small discount for
    group bookings, in case you've not noticed.

    He's not now, though. He's done a very odd thing, moved to Septicistan
    and got *thinner*.

    He always was a contrary fucker.
