When I get my new bike (having not ridden in 10 months) I was considering doing one of these courses, as I've heard they are good. The last thing a rode was a 125 on my test, in Aug 2008. Im picking up my 500 (first big bike) next week some time. Seeing as you have been on a course, would you recommend that I ride a for a few months first, and get back into riding again before taking on a bike safe course?? I was tempted with going back to my training school for a half day session, just check I'm doing everything right I'm confident enough, but that doesnt mean I'm going to be safe... Cheers Add
