That garage is the stuff of wet dreams.
Winter is a great time to do test. it'll be cold, but instructors will just want to get back inside from what the guy who taught me said. If it's raining (as was mine) they'll just avoid fast/busy roads to avoid the shit that comes with them.
I did a block week. Exhausting but worth it. Good instructor was worth the money as they methodically drill technique and awareness into you. The guy who taught me moved to Motoden and was brilliant.
Decent gear and go into it as a blank page and it'll be a breeze.

I've just had my 24th birthday and I'm looking at doing my licence.
My uncle has got me this for my birthday. Its already stripped down to the frame and he's fully rebuilding it. I'm not sure his plans for the build but I'm excited.
I've been driving 6 or 7 years and I've ridden bikes off road before but I was wondering if anybody had any advice on the best way to approach learning/testing?
Of course first of all I'll be doing theory etc. Is there such thing as lessons in the same way as learning to drive? Or is it a case of doing/best to do one of these 4 day intensive courses with a test at the end?
And can anybody recommend to me a place to go to do this. I'm in Putney SW, don't have my own bike to learn on yet.
