ey up. Right, I'm in my final year of a levels and not looking at getting fantastic results, I definately don't want to go to university next year (if at all) but don't just want to waste the next x amount of time doing nothing, so got thinking about what I could do.

So far with regards to mechanicry I found a course at the local college but it's a general vehicle mechanic apprenticeship (doesn't seem like it'll focus on motorbikes particularly?)

what else could I do as far as learning to be a motorbike mechanic?

cheers

If you learn about general vehicle mechanics, that sounds like a good start to me, once you've grasped the basics its fairly easy to pick up specifics on bikes Thumbs Up

Dont know where you are but Merton College in London is good, and does a specific motorcycle mechanics courses of various levels. The lectures are good there as well (its where i went for my course).
