Hi Johnpierre, Hello and welcome to the forum. I hope you enjoy your stay with us. Just a bit of advice with regards to your nice looking VFR. If you are wanting to keep parts genuine Honda then i would give David Silver ( a Honda Dealer and parts supplier) a holla as these guys are the cheapest i have found for genuine Honda parts. Not sure with using the Teesside riders discount at petite & France would touch these guys on some of there parts, alot of which they actually keep in stock unlike 99% of the Honda dealers round our neck of woods. Which then points me to another area, keep an eye on your rear hub bearings in your swing arm, these are not cheap to replace, so try and repack them with grease once a year, dependant on mileage. Other than that get ya self out and ride

the course for gcse at neta is a bit pointless, thats the word from all the instructors any way. but the aprrenticeship is a goold laugh, all hands on. the thing with neta is they will find u an employer or they wont take you on. where as TTE take you on even if you dont have an employer which isnt as secure

depends on your company though. much better getting a company than a training board. because you get higher pay and gauranteed a job at the end of it

you will have to serve your 4 year apprenticship before you can go offshore. so it would be better to get with a local company first. then leave onve your qualified and start offshore. you also need compex to get offshore and you cant pass that without a lot of experince
