Good luck

I passed my test on Monday and the best advice I can give (other than the obvious) is to relax and enjoy it. The more you worry about doing something, the worse you get (in my experience).

One more thing. If you think you've blown the test on one mistake (junction, dab your foot on the U turn, etc) keep going as though you didn't do it. I made a couple of what I considered at the time to be faliure mistakes and I passed (with 1 minor).

Make sure you let us know how you go on.

I did similar, and passed with 4 minors (no, not children, and not coal workers either!). Technically I got a major too, but the examiner was in a good mood, and put it down to test nerves. Right at the end I made a right turn into the car park, without indicators & without a life saver. Based on the rest of my ride up to that point, he said he'd forget about the last bit on the condition he didn't read about me in the obituaries in the next few weeks.

He didn't supprisingly, I hope anyway

Good luck.

Good luck i did a 5 day DAS course and passed with 2 minors

3 days would have been enough maybe 4 but everyone else on the course (3 other people) only did 3 days and they all failed.

so for the 4 and 5th day i had 1 on 1 which help alot...plus on the 4th day the instructor and I did 350 miles touring the derbyshire dales wonderful day

Well done!

Yes, you need the other ECU to derestrict it (dont do it if its not legal). Think about it - ECU is the brains of the bike; without it, nothing can function!

Restricted ends in 061, full power ends in 060 (i think)
