I did think he was a bit crazy for doing that, surely he should lead by example! But he was a good teacher, I think he was just letting me have some fun. Up to me how fast I wanted to go. But see what you mean.

I am certainly not going to get over confident and bin the bike early, I'm going to take it easy and ride safe!

thanks for the concern!

My instructor didn't get his knee down when I passed but he did give it a large amount of beans on the way back (he definately broke the national speed limit stretch on the way back). When I got back I did ask him why he sped off, what was he trying to tell me???!!! And his answer was that he wanted me to ride back on my own, that simple really, and that's what effectively happened as I wasn't willing to break all the rules after just passing

I think after being taught all the rules and what you should obey if you then went and followed his example then fool you anyway, you know how to ride sensibly so keep it safe.....especially keeping within your ability

I think the instructor was just trying to make sure you were left to ride back on your own just like mine did, I am sure we all have enough common sense to know what we can and can't handle....right? (most of the time )

Now go out as much as possible and progressively learn to ride properly....I still have a long way to go and doubt I'll ever push it like some...still working on losing the chicken strips

Hey well done WR87 (what's your proper name and where d'you live) - cue a cheesy grin for weeks if not months. My instructor buggered off too, same explanation, I was afraid of a ban before the ink was dry on the pass cert...

FFS take it easy

Well done Fella, keep shiny side up. And definitely take it easy, and remember all car drivers ARE trying to kill you!

Your right there! Already had two van drivers pull straight out in front of me, I expected them to do it so I was fine. one just looked straight through me, then he saw me, and looked very guilty and said sorry!
