Mechanical sympathy
By: Web Editor
I was wondering if you could provide me some details of any mechanics courses in the UK, especially for classic bikes.
I’m 27 and want to start working on my own bikes but don’t have any mechanical experience! Nobody in my family is into bikes and my buddies aren’t into fixing
up their own bikes either, so I’ve not got anyone to point me in the right direction.

Many local colleges offer motorcycle maintenance courses for beginners.
A good place to start looking is www.enginecycle.co.uk/motorcycle-technical-training-schools-directory. Also, the Oval Motorcycle Centre in London offers maintenance courses – www.ovalmotorcyclecentre.co.uk CMM
