Question Idiots Guide

Please bare with me if these are silly questions.

I'm off for my first lesson this coming saturday (Clacton) so my adventure is about to start.

Wot does a PPL give that a NPPL doesn't?

Can I go for an NPPL and then upgrade to a PPL?

Any advise giudance on this epic journey greatfully received.

I'm looking for three dimetional biking currently running a R1150GS.

Regards

Graham

I suppose if you're looking for 3D biking, you'll want an open cockpit

Need longer legs,

excellent choice of bike, I must say...(as a GS'er myself)

you could always get a Reality Easy Raider, complete with boxer engine, and keep it 'beemer' through and through.

If you're at Clacton, does this mean you're doing the taildragger PPL they offer? any thoughts and impressions gratefully recieved, cos I'm thinking of doing the taildragger rating there now I've got my PPL.

And, most importantly, ENJOY!!

Cheers,

JP

BTW, totally off topic, but my partner bought a GS650 from a lady biker who was trading up to an 1150GS - but she was about 5'1"!! Work that one out!!
