What a beautiful day, we must have pleased the Gods. Well done Gavin for taking on the roll of chief photographer, some good photos. Well done for some very restrained riding, sorry for not kerbing my enthusiasm sufficiently all the time, the wicked bike made me do it. Collin and brakes, or lack off seems to be a common theme through these posts. I'm a little concerned how far you managed to travel before noticing it was missing! Will that be covered under warranty? I hope you get it fixed, sorted and back on the road soon.
Jordan I did my Direct Access 4 years ago with thinkmotorcycle.co.uk on Marsh Barton. They charged me £526 for 5 days training, 6 including test day, and £54 for the test, guaranteed pass meaning they would pay for up to 3 tests if you failed the first 2. I did a block week but you could probably get away with one day a week for 3 weeks, and as you have your own bike, practice what they teach you between sessions. I'm not particularly plugging them, they were OK, but I expect they all are.
