private tarmac car park wanted

[Pauly S]

HI Chaps and ladies, would anyone know of a suitable large off road tarmac car park where my daughter could learn to ride a cg125 geared machine without insurance.?
its catch22 i dont want to insure her on it unless i know she is proficient enough to ride safely.
Its an additional £200 to ride the honda, which could be waste if she cant get the hang of it.
many thanks Paul.

Is there a disused airfield nearby? That's what I used back in the late 70's when teaching some actor chap how to ride. He'd lied in an interview, and needed to ride a bike for a part he'd landed.

Surely she has done a CBT? If so then she should be proficient with the basics; if she has a CBT certificate and is not proficient then you should complain to the training school. If she hasn't done a CBT then why are you trying to teach her?, after all she has to do a CBT by law so why not let a professional do the job and take the pressure off yourself?

Tesco, Waitrose, Sainsbury's?

i don't know the in's and outs of a CBT - but is it possible she did this on 'twist and go'?? or is that not possible

Ive heard some "professionals",personally im not impressed,and bearing in mind my daughters safety is paramount to me, i would sooner spend loads of time with her, and i'd rather save my money.
Re the safety side, before someone says,"put her in a car" £3 grand to insure an 1100 punto, kinda says it all.
This isnt to say every tutor is an arse, but i'm quite happy to do it myself.
I'm a green badge holder, and i would sooner teach her myself.
I taught my son, and he's a cracking rider now.
all the best Paul
