bike test

[sarah]

i've got my bike test tomorrow and i'm already sooooo nervous. :pale:

[trickywoos]

Good luck Sarah!! Have u been doing your direct access?

[Luckypants]

You'll be fine. Hope it all goes well for you. Let us all know how it went.

:riding:

[Ed]

No need to be nervous, Sarah - the examiner will try to put you at your ease. Just remember everything you've been taught. The examiner will be looking for a good, safe ride - not a perfect one. But observations are non-negotiable. And so is safety, so no pulling out in front of anything or making another driver change course cos of something you've done.

My hot tip has always been: don't forget to cancel the indies!! I got manic about it and kept pressing the button just to make sure. Still do.

Relax, and treat it as an oppo to show off.

[sarah]

Good luck Sarah!! Have u been doing your direct access?

i had a week of training just before christmas but my test was cancelled due to freezing fog, i rebooked my test for a few weeks ago and it was cancelled due to snow.

hoping for friendlier weather tomorrow :D

[sarah]

You'll be fine. Hope it all goes well for you. Let us all know how it went.

You're not Steven's missus, by any chance, are you? If that doesn't make any sense, ignore it, I've mistaken you for someone else. :)

test was a bit eventful- i got a bit lost when i had to go around the block on my own for the emergency stop part :oops:

You know, I did exactly the same thing on my test. Sent me round the block and I tuned down the wrong side street :confused:

Congrats on passing.

[Samnooshka]

Congrats :D:D it's the best feeling in the world aint it :D

Have fun and i'm sure Rigor and I will see you soon at GM :D

[clickhick]

[sarah]

Congrats on passing.

i'm glad i'm not the only one! was so embarrassing. rather confused the examiner guy when i came down the road from the wrong direction. :oops:

[SVeeedy Gonzales]

congrats. when I passed my test, on my e-stop I also went round the block on my own, practised an e-stop out of sight and did a messy 2 wheel skid. When I came round to do the real thing I eased up and stopped spot on. I'm sure they let you go out of sight for just that reason ;)

Err.. no. They expect to see you stop in the shortest space as possible in full control of the bike. Give a reasonable dose on the front brake (depending on the weather) and move your foot down a tad to move the rear brake. The forks will dive (as usual) without locking the front and the examiner sees application if the rear. Oddly that will stop you in full control and in a short distance.Thats it.

I certainly would not practice stops on the test IMHO. Sveedy I think you were smart to take advantage of your situation on your test and quick thinking as well. Good thinking on your part.

[eviltwin]

woooohoooooooooo
i passed!!!!!!!!!!!:riding:
Yay well done. Didn't think I'd see this day after you banned me from bikes for so long!!!!

[Luckypants]

You'll be fine. Hope it all goes well for you. Let us all know how it went.

Told ya!! Well done girl, now go out and enjoy. Perfect biking weather here in N. Wales today.
