Has anybody enrolled in any of the on line motorcycle repair courses that are being offered over the internet. I am interested in taking such a course to increase my maintenance knowledge and skill set (not for employment purposes) but before parting with the $600+ enrollment fee I wondered if any group member who had participated in such a course could share their view on the suitability of the training offered.
Thanks

Would enjoy hearing such reports myself, though it's hard to imagine learning repair skills and shop techniques very thoroughly by this method.

For comparison, has anyone taken the AMI or MMI classroom courses, and what sort of cost do they add up to?

Just listen to some of the advice given here it's free.

If there is something you need to know just ask, there are a lot of technicaly gifted people on here who are only too willing to part with their knowledge, and keep your own workshop manual of the things relevant to you.

We even have the ability to post illustrations.

Guys,

Thanks for the feedback/comments. I intend to work my way through Dan's on line course as a starting point and use the expertise available at this forum when I get stuck!

Thanks to all who replied.
