>>Anyone else be interesting in going to one?<<
Yes

>>And anyone know someone in hampshire/ berkshire area which does one<<
No
Plenty of places offer mx tuition, but on *your* bike. It seems it's generally only the big bike companies that hire bikes (I'm sure there are others around though)
Most of the bike companies have stopped for the year.

>>.... not too expensive, and with kit <<
No
Most of the ones done by bike companies are from about £100-150.. going upto £300 ish for the BMW one I think
I think Honda had a shorter day, in Cork for £80 though

CCM and KTM do activity courses, but they're mainly used as "taster" sessions for their bikes, so you'll go off and buy one as soon as the course is over...

AFAIK they don't have any places left on their courses... I am tempted by a CCM supermoto day sometime though.

If they're still do booking for this year I'd defiantely be up for it... I remember seeing a review of the cashonda one a while ago and they reckoned it was pretty good, reasonable price as well.

[kev]

im lloking now and you get the whole lot for £100

lol...so have I

Right, all the weekends are booked up 'till the end of the year, but they have plenty of weekdays free in Novemeber.

If anyone's still interested leave your name here and we can try and sort something out.

I did try and see if we could could blag a discount for a biggish group, but they weren't having it, which is fair enough as £100 is a pretty reasonable price.

[TiN]

Money is the only issue so far...although things should hopefully change by the end of the month...

I'm on half term there, and im going to try and find a couple of night shifts somewhere to work to get some cash... and then it will be a yes

<Yoink>

Just to resurrect this topic, is anyone interested in doing the Honda CAS thing fairly soon? It would be good to get a small group going...we currently have 3 people, and we ideally want 2 or more people.

It's about £100 for the day, and we can organise transport when the group/date is confirmed.

Put me down ive always wanted to try MX riding.

Will they let us loose on the 400's though?

[TiN]

I doubt very much that we would start out on 400s, or even 250s...but it's strange that they have 100s instead of 125s

When are you planning on going?

It looks like fun. And they better had let us on the bigger bikes 100cc is just boring

[WildGoose]

id be up for this, definately, depends on when

and i just looked at the site, i would assume we'd be on the 250's if you look at the 100 it weights 75kg's and there is a kid next to it, they wouldnt put adults on a bike like that

at worst they would have a set of restricted 250's for the cack handed or learners

looks fun though
