relax, ride for himself.

Don't call the examiner a retarded plonker.
Don't bin it. :lol: :lol:

[lynw]

keep the revs up on the u turn and use the clutch and rear brake to control the bike. drop the revs and the bike will feel like its dropping and that means an automatic foot down to stop it :oops: :oops: :oops:

better to perhaps do too many lifesavers than too few [but not too many so hes not looking ahead :lol: ]...

and be prepared for the questions after the test re carrying pillions is the usual I believe

and just relax and enjoy it.

good luck to him btw

thanx :D

don't worry, enjoy it and pass!!!

Ride conservatively:
Too many observations is better than too few.

A minor for hesitancy is better than a fail for making another road user use their brakes.

A minor for going under the speed limit is better than a fail for going over it.

A minor for a slightly long emergency stop is better than a fail for a skid.

You get the idea :)

That said, show that you're not afraid to get up to 70 on a dual carriageway, don't be afraid to overtake, or use the bike's acceleration to make progress.

If the radio starts breaking up and you're not 100% sure of what he said, ride on. If he wanted you to pull over, he'll ask again, if you missed a turn, he'll just get you to turn round etc. Unless you're patently pretending not to hear things you don't want to do, he won't penalise you for it.

Examiners are always impressed when you can demonstrate excellent control of your bike. Suggest he does a few rolling stoppies and pulls a couple of minging wheelies to show the examiner what he's made of! :wink:


Other than that, it's a case of being as relaxed as possible and taking the view that there's nothing to worry about as you can always resit.

Bandit, not an SV?

Educate him in the error of his ways!

[kwak zzr]

he's 6'3 and 18stone! he thinks a bandit would fit him better?

[MarkyBoy]

I'm 6' and 17 stone, I dissagree, had the choice of the SV or the Bandit and im so glad I chose the SV,

No regrets here!!!!

[Professor]

GSX1400? One can often get good deals on these.

[kwak zzr]
