You have missed the point by a country mile, you fucking moron. Go and **** yourself you sanctimonious ****.
I don't see why. I appear to be the only one in anyone's crosshairs at the moment. Which is *still* a criticism of the test, not the testee. The test is for The Institute of *Advanced* Motorcyclists, after all. I still contend that someone, who by their own admission, was less than gifted, can pass an IAM test on the back of three months of tuition, of, as has been said, around 3 hours a week[1,2], then the test proves nothing, and will do little more than instill a sense of misplaced confidence. That is not to say that Donna hasn't anything to be proud of. *Any* training will help, especially by a qualified, helpful, and understanding individual. This, of course, assumes that Donna was as bad as she thought she was. There must exist a real possibility that she wasn't. [1] Even extending the parameters here, we can't be looking at more than 50 hours in total. [2] It was September 30th, that Charders stated she'd done 5000 miles in the last 13 months. I wouldn't expect that *anyone* could be "advanced" with that kind of experience. -- | ___ Salad Dodger |/ \ GL1500SEV/CBR1100XXX/KH500A8/TS250C/exTS185C _/_____\_ ..61036../..13743.../..3157./.19406/.fecked. |_\_____/_| IMC#4 TPPFATUICG#7 YTC#4 DIAABTCOD#9 PM#5 (>|_|_|<) BOTAFOT #70 two#11 Ignoramus #0001 |__|_|__| BOTAFOF #09 IbW#0 & KotIbW# OSOS#07 \ |^| / WG* BotTOS #6 GP#4 ANORAK#17 FTB#14 \|^|/ 2003 RBR landmarks:99 points:2100 miles:8000 '^'
That bit was for you. The rest of the thread was for general consumption and not angled in your direction. Now get on with the washing up. Lovely. Have you met Alan Gower? He can show you what man tits should be like. When he croaks I want them stuffed and mounted.
Salad Dodger wibbled like a little girl... I don't have anyone in the crosshairs. I was just expressing my disappointment that someone who goes and makes a significant effort to train themself to a better standard of riding should be derided for their achievments. Of course it is, but had it been anyone but Donna, then the piss-taking would have been a slightly more biased towards the IAM. As it was there was, imo, a certain amount of piss-taking of Donna's riding skills. I doubt that Donna could ever be accused of that. Her confidence has improved greatly though. I'm glad you added that, as Martyn said, her riding has improved in spades. Any miles are good miles -- Lozzo ZZR1100D, GPZ500S, CB250RS x3.

From me too. I don't really give a monkey's wotsit about how the IAM is percieved, but the real result is your (Charders) increase in riding confidence and ability and your continued presence on the road. -- Dave GS 850 x2 / SE 6a SbS#6? DIAABTCOD#16 APOSTLE#16? FUB#3 FUB KotL OSOS#12? UKRMMA#19
Erm, well... yes actually. Same here, stepped on the scales last week for the first time in months (at the request of SWMBO). Seems I weigh the most I ever have done (13st 6) Perhaps I'll diet after Crimbo. -- Oldbloke 2000 Honda CB500 BOTAFOT #140 "He's like Robbo's chubby kid brother"

Well done Donna! I did IAM training for much the same reasons, just could not be arsed to do the test. So well done for seeing it through as well. -- Marina Mayes - Reading, UK.
