No sweat, keep us updated with how you get on, I don't think that even 35 years ago I would have had the guts to try it...

You quickly learn how to use your weight to counter balance what the bike is trying to do. It can be good fun trying to stuff some mail in a box whilst the bike is in a controlled slide. Falling off is the best way to learn what you can and can't do (get away with doing).

However some of the delivery runs are on normal roads and a bit boring.

if you know anyone with a farm, or a bit of land, just weld up a ramp, pile up some dirt, get a dirt-bike, and go for it, with supervision of course
