i found when i did one it was a waste of £500 i went to blackpool had 1 week there had lessons for 8 hours each day with 2 other students in the car anyway i failed the test!
i threatend to sue the company and got a full refund minus test fees!
I passed after 2 weeks with a local good driving instructor i had 2 hour lessons everyday of the week for 2 weeks
the price some of the intensive courses charge is scandolous its cheaper to goto poland and do a polski test and then come back over here ;)

The individual who has spent 3 months learning (without passing) will be a better driver than the individual who has done it for a week and passed!

I never took a single lesson,just went and took the test and passed.Mrs Albs reckons the examiner must have been a mentalist,she says I couldnt drive a pig with a stick. ::) ;D

My husband reckoned that the examiner didn't want to risk having to get back into a car with me, so, passed me first time! ;D ;D ;D

Had my full bike license 2 weeks after turning 17, and my full car license 3 weeks after that.
No bike lessons whatsoever (they didn't really exist then anyway), just straight in and job done.
I took 2 lessons before the car test, but that was only to make sure I knew the car before I put myself up for the actual test.
The only reason for booking the driving lessons was quite simple - it would lead the examiner to believe I was making the effort if I was in a school car rather than my own.
Do I think that the tests of today make for a better driver?
Do I f**k!!!

When he takes you out for the first night (7pm-3am), ignores you throughout, and you still get together after....then that's something ;)

My bike has 1 bhp per kilo, no test can prepare you for that.....
-
Very true,although it is better than it used to be - ride round the block and if you didnt fallv off or knock a pedestrian over you passed. ::) ..........I didnt get a chance to take the test then,ended up in Hospital 2 weeks before my 17th and wasnt mobile for quite a while afterwards. ::)

I guess that all depends on what your bike weighs really.
My sub 200 KG Kawasaki Z900 did the quarter mile in 9.05s @ 152mph at the Bulldog 3 weeks ago....not a lot prepares you for that ;)
-
Velcro on the seat and bar grips is the best preperation. :y ;D ;D

I found the best preparation for that run was 12 cans of kangaroo piss (Fosters), half a dozen spliffs, and god knows how many lines (proper lines mind, not your pauper lines) of high grade coke straight off the block ;D ;D

No point in worrying about today when you could get run over by a bus tomorrow.
Simple fact is...when your time's up - then it's up.

There are pics on another thread, but I'm too w@nkered to find them now.
Do a search for my posts and you'll find them though.

I agree.........up to a point,but I personally dont like drugs (seen the human cost at very close proximity)and dont ever drink & ride/drive,last time I did I nearly died.But off public roads is obviously your own personal call. ;)

Reminds me of the one and only time I've ridden a bike. Pi$$ed in the bar of an airfield with a mate who was a serious biker. He'd never driven a car, I'd never ridden a bike. So, a deal was struck. He got to thrash my Morris Ital up and down the runway, and I got to do the same on his CBR600. There and then, no sobering up allowed. ;D
I think I got the best end of that deal. :D

If I ever go nuts enough to consider doing society a favour, you can rest assured I won't be going alone ;)

I did a motorcycle intensive course, you can't really get bike lessons as such. 4 days of solid training, then onto the test. Would have past if i had not fallen off ;D
Second test, only 2 minors on the entire test, but put my foot down on U turn >:(
3rd time was the charm!
I'd say go for intensive, really good to see the improvements you do in short space of time.

Have a look at http://www.findadrivingschool.com
They have quite a few driving schools on their system that offer intensive training courses.
