Ok if you do a DAS ( Direct Access Course ) which is what it will be if theyre on about a 4 day course

You could in theory pass your test leaving you to ride a 550HP HYABUGLY if you want

If your 21 and over and pass your bike test you can ride ANY BIKE IN THE WORLD

NOT as easy as a car test to pass. Especially U Turns.

And they like you to go faster rather than slower as a rule. DO 35 in a 30 rather than 28 as it shows confidence.

EDIT: Wonder why you suggested that site Deano

Visordown sucks though So be warned...
