Looked at the mail today and found that Bracken Ridge TAFE is running a motorcycle maintenance course over 7 weeks on Tuesday nights starting on the 19th of October.
It covers activities rolled out in a service, identification of components, engines, lubing, tyres, wheels, steering, suspension and drive train, frame, inspection and buying a bike.
Whilst some of you are probably laughing for someone like me who is mechanically inept I will be signing up.
The cost is $205 and goes for 3 hrs each Tuesday night.
Anyway if you need anymore info give me a yell!!!

Christian mayyyte ... you'll enjoy it ..... I did that exact course ten years ago ..... just dont let you bike roll off the stand in the second class.
You tend to look like a Duckhead when you cant lift it back up because of the polished cement floor.
Cheers Brett

One of the Eastern Suburbs TAFEs used to do one years ago, but I don't think they do now
...wouldn't mind doing one myself, I did a pushbike course years ago, it was pretty good. It was run by the CAE.
