    I asked.....to much red tape and hassle involved.

    Easier to get a group to go over there for say a day or 2 days.

    They supply the quads and bikes for the day.

    Fly over to Gatwick and hire a car for the day. 20 minute drive from Gatwick to Dunsfold/Top Gear track.

    Shes actually riding the bike in 1st gear.
    And the bike is also strapped at the front wheel,so if she goes past the point of no return,she or the bike wont flip.

    Very good idea to get a feel for the balance point and dabbing the rear brake too.

    I'm imagining the look on my spouse's face when I tell them I'm off to the UK for a couple of days to go to motorbike wheelie school.

    Its 200 sterling for the day with Stunt Asylum.
    Then the cost of a return flight to Gatwick and a hire car or mini bus to Dunsfold.

    It would have to be booked well in advance and money paid upfront to Stunt Asylum.
