Cheers GULG, at �139 for the Skills for Life course is a bargain will get her that. She's been off twice already, so that is a small price to pay for my sanity/nerves/heart!

Not sure WHO you can be thinking of that's a member here without an XT, or indeed who would have swapped one. Or come to think of it has never had one...

We're planning to come to the Lakes meet from Scotland (or possibly Isle of Man) but if that doesn't turn out to be the case and she's passed her test we'll bring her along.... after all meeting you lot may turn her off motorcycling where me supplying car driving lessons failed
