The Blue sheeting is an airport (previous owner is a helicopter technician).
I train driving instructor trainers (if that makes sense)

Will be heading to Squires this weekend, hopefully on Saturday for the Auto jumble, weather looks better for Sunday, but might not be allowed two pass outs in one weekend!!

Hello and welcome from another West Yorks based forum member (Ossett nr Wakefield) I'm planning a ride over to Squires this weekend, whether is Sat or Sun will depend on the weather (I don't like rain), keep an eye out for a Yellow Aprilia RSVR (which as replaced the Storm) riden by a good looking bloke early 30s, slightly greying hair, well OK the last bit is a bit of a fib try mid 50s completely white hair (still good looking though

at least that's what they tell me).

Greetings youngster. Fairly new VTR owner and forum member here. But, I can attest that they are a fine bunch of (very knowledgable) nutters. When I got the storm I felt my road skills had deteriorated over the dirt bike riding hiatus so I went to my local Roadar group and am now in the final stages of becoming a tutor myself. Eeeek, the poor buggers won't know what's hit them.
The standard of my bike tutors was incredibly high. If I'm a tenth as good as them I'll be pleased.
Have fun!

I have the RoSPA gold for car and have done the RoSPA diploma in advanced tuition.
I saw the IAM at squires but not noticed RoSPA there yet.
I also haven't been tomy Roadar group recently either (through lack of time), but want to do the bike award once I find my feet.
cheers

Although they are both based on "Roadcraft" I found the bike stuff very different to the car stuff. To my mind the car stuff is very out of date but the bike stuff is relevant.
