No Post Saturday.......
because I was in Dundee all day and did a one day motorcycle course with Scotriders. Because of UK law, anybody who wants to use a motorcycle must do compulsory motorcycle training before they can ride on the road. I did mine two years ago, and because the certificate is only valid for two years, and because I was too goddamned lazy to then sit the test for a full licence, I had to go and do it again - after 20,000 miles on the road.
But it was an enjoyable day, and I got a magical mystery tour of parts of my home town that I had forgotten existed, or that had changed beyond all recognition in fifteen years
---------------------------
And I passed, despite turning right instead of left on a couple of occasions. I never could tell the difference without time to think about it, and with Heather (the instructor, wee Dundee lassie on big bike) right behind me all the time issuing instructions into my lug via radio, and me trying to take in the scenery, it's a wonder.

Hi Colin!
Heather from Scotriders here, I've just read and replied to your mail saying you'd arrived home safely, albeit frozen after tackling "The Pass" and decided to have a wee nosey at your site. I had a right chuckle at your comments on your CBT. Can I just add that this man drove two and a half hours to get to us to do his CBT in typical Scottish weather and still had a smile on his face at the end of his CBT! It was a really enjoyable day Colin and I'm chuffed you enjoyed yourself too, happy biking my friend! Heather :o)
