hell you've been teaching people to ride for years tony, should come naturally to you. Perhaps tone down the language a bit though eh 😉

good luck

Good luck sir. I'm thinking about doing exactly the same sort of thing. Can I be rude and ask what your next step will be after the qualifications? That's the hard bit I reckon! 🙂

I've always been impressed with your friendliness and enthusiasm on STW Jedi. If you can transfer that into your training courses then you will be onto a winner.
