Well done that man. I must admit that i have seen this'Swerve test' on the TV and its no where near as bad as its been made to sound. Weaving round a dozy twonk whos just pulled out is much more difficult!

I assume its exactly the same as the test you must have done. I think it doesnt include U-turns because you cover that in module 1. Its just an assessed road ride.

I'll still be doing the test on my CG because im on a restricted licence. Any bike with clip ons will be hard/impossible to u turn! My instructor couldn't U-turn on his CBF600 naked in the same space i could U turn the cg (the handlebars turn so much on the cg).

the er5 i learnt on was easier to uturn than the sv for sure

It definitely is harder with clipons, my 125 had clipons and I could barely u-turn it whereas I found my naked sv much easier. (lost the knack now

)

did you do 'the manouvre' in the dry magpie?
