: Do it as you think best, most people I

: then will learn the points after.
: You pick up the points and learn the

: you in different ways, what is
: certain though is that you need to
: learn each and every point in the
: 1/4 mile radius. Good luck mate.

: When i first started I tried to do
: it
: in the car, what a waste of time,
: you cant turn round easily if you
: over shoot a turing, and as for
: pointing and turn arounds forget it!
: Congestion charge can be expensive
: to.You sit in traffic for ages, and
: loose sight of what you have seen,
: due to a run taking 4 times as long
: to do, you also get away with far
: more on a bike! You really are
: better off by bike, its really is
: the only way!
:
: I too was worried about the whole
: bike thing, Just make sure you go to
: a good training centre, get properly
: kited out, i.e: armour, boots, back
: protector etc, dont skimp on
: clothing! Make sure you can be
: properly seen, even in day light!
: Dont go out in the rain or when its
: really dark! Buy a decent bike, not
: a 50cc with no power, but not
: something to fast, a 100 cc would be
: fine!
:
: This is my opinion, other people may
: feel differently, only you can make
: your own mind up! If you really want
: it, then go for it! If not then I am
: sure you will be happy in some other
: carer! Above all Take Care and good
: Luck!
