Hi mike its going to take me a couple of months practice at least to reach an acceptable level of competency.
probably better I do that on my own so as not to embarras anyone else - but I'll be there as soon as soon as I can stop the damned thing without major incident & guffaws from behind - and when I can turn right at roundabouts in a smaller arc than an artic :oops:

thanks :wink:
I'm going to do my best to live long enough to enjoy it again, been very disappointed in myself so far though & it may take a while longer than I'd hoped to get the hang of it!
