Do it mate, you won't regret it. Particularly withour roads etc. it's a good idea to take any extra training you can, whether it be IAM, RoSPA, Bikesafe or just a few days with a Bike School. No training is wasted.

Yeah, it's always the same old 'jobsworth' but when he wants 'help with his inquiries' he wonders why there is a deafening silence. I wouldn't p*** on one if he was on fire, unless, of course, i was passing petrol!!!

got to agree with the above..unless they sent the NIP out by recorded delivery they can never prove whether you got it or not..GATSO's are notoriously unreliable where bikes are concerned.
