I've done it, wasn't worth the money for the amount of track time you get. Around Ł250 for 45mins track time.

we,ve done the 600's and also the fireblade course, theres normally 3 in a group and one teacher,

after your first outing you may get moved about to put you with people with same riding speed.

If you get the chance pay a little extra and do the pillion ride with ron, he power wheelies down the main straight.

track time is very good for these sort of days

Dont know if its still the same but when I did it, if you crashed in the first session they didn't let you back out on a bike.
