Default Test on monday, then wednesday: PASSED!

He he...

2 days on a 125cc last week, just got back from my first day on a 500! Another day on the ER500 tomorrow then test monday morning.

Well bugger me, if that isnt the most exciting thing i've done in a long time. Makes the 125cc bikes feel ourtight dangerous and my car felt like it was going backwards on the way home . Instructor says i'll be fine for the test and i've got another day of polishing up left!

I can't wait.... think i might find myself at the dealer's quicker than i thought

go for it, stay calm and you'll be sorted. Just remember to breathe... Sounds silly but it works!!!

Before you start, shut your eyes, deep breath, then go for it.

Good luck.

Best of luck for Monday,

take it easy and relax as best you can, the examiners are human the one I had was funny, on my test we had two chav's in a nova cut me up thinking it was funny.

Did the test, thought I had failed as we got back, he asked me a question about my speed in one little section of road I had not traveled down in my lessons turned out to be a 20 zone and not 30 as I thought.

He dismissed it with a wave saying that he noted that I had observed an 30 mph down this small stretch and that he frequently did 30 down it! He was going to give me the benifit of the doubt!

But what made my day was the fact that when he said, "Oh and don't worry about those two twits in the nova, they will be having a visit from some friends on mine tonight!"

He than told me I had passed!

Great examiner, see him quite frequently in town and always gives me a nod and a smile!

Cheers

Rich
