Hi All

 I totally agree about the motorcycle course (and clothing). Both my wife
(when she stopped being a pillion and got her own motorcycle) and I have
taken the course. I took mine about 15 years ago when I first got my bike
and have even taken the advance course several times since then (kinda like
a "get ready for summer riding" tune up)

What I love are the squids driving their liter bikes in flip-flops and
shorts. I have had plenty of crashes on my mountain bike in shorts. I can't
imagine crashing my motorcycle at 50 + mph in shorts. I would be picking out
gravel for weeks! :-)
