Yep,

Runningman organised an almost excvlusively Monster one at The Ace last year (possibly the year before I can't remember) and it was very informative.

The plod who ran the course were a very friendly and pro-bike bunch of guys and were very happy to turn a blind eye to undersized plates and slightly fruity exhausts.

It's very strange to be followed around by a copper in full regalia who then pulls you over and advises you to give it a bit more welly. Even stranger was that he wasn't on a Pan Euro but had a Bikesafe Buell instead.

It's certainly not intended as an option to advanced rider training but it's bloody good value for money and they give you a nice wee goody bag with odds and sods as well as lunch thrown in.

I'd highly recommend it.

yep, me too.

We organised a Surrey DSC one, with Guildford & Dorkings finest.
Great day for the 20 of us that did it - including the education (for some) on the 1st aid session at the end.

No probs with zausts, bikes had to be tyres/lights/plates street legal tho:)

Brilliant. I think tommo mentioned wanting to go too. All we need know is someone to organise us. Instead of pointing the finger I may well do this unless we need to book now, since I'll be AWOL from this Tuesday until 31st of March.
