since you mention it yes i am a bit of a dab hand at sewing.

as long as he remembers he is doing a test and not riding properly he'll be fine. cant hurt to have a bit more knowledge. 1hr of riding like a gentleman is all it takes.

When you put it like that, it does sound a mighty difficult undertaking!

As I said, move to Guildford. There's barely a member of the Guildford massive that hasn't upset the whole forum at least one point or another.

Except Tomor, He's worryingly inoffensive, perhaps we could send him up to Grimsby in your stead.

Lance a legend? Woah woah woah, I'm not sure I ready to sign up for that!

OP - Legend or not Lance is a respected forum member, he's a contributor and not just a participant. There are many members who have been helped by him in one way or another, many ride bikes featuring parts he's made!
Fortunately he's also quite tolerant (hence his quantity of posts) and he's seen your comments as banter as opposed to petulant. Swallow the pride a little and respect the existing forum members so with a wit like yours you'll become a brilliantly entertaining member of the forum.

As Ad' says above you've got to work pretty hard to be ousted from been included on a ride.

17 Days until a retest seems impressive to me time flys!
Oh and £150 per test WTF!!!! I dont think I paid over £50 for mine... never mind the having been failed, its that that would pi55 me off the most.

I'm sympathetic mate. Was lucky enought to pass both bike mods first time but failed my first car test because I failed to check my mirrors properly before setting off...

...after stopping for a huge gang brawl which was taking place in the middle of the road and saw someone's head being punched into the bonnet at one point. No minors either - nothing like showing a bit of discretion!
