Motorcycle mechanics courses/training

[Virt]

Well I'm currently saving up for a new toy and finding one in good condition is quite hard so that was going to happen anyway well, a sensibly priced one at least

i think this is why they need to bring back 2 strokes as owning and riding one you will learn basic mechanics just to start the thing in the morning and bolting parts back on when the vibrate loose on the way home .
these plug and play modern bike's leave very little for the diy mechanic to do as most will have a xmas tree on the dash and the only way to turn it off is to take it to a dealer .

James is a good guy at ramp and wrench and knows his stuff .

Glad to hear that 2 sessions a month, £10 a session doesn't sound so bad either. Plus it's an excuse to ride the bike, as I won't be commuting soon :'(

sign up your dad too and little brother as you all need it

what about night school ? i did my city and guilds at my local technical college mind you it was only level one and two the third year would have been full time
and i was working ,but we used the college bikes and tools, or we worked on our own bikes.

You could get a job at a dealer, work hard & learn for maybe 5 years only to find that the job pays crap & you need to buy & repair a few old bikes just to make ends meet. Not so much fun really.
