well first day of bike test training done
my god i can't believe how many bad habbits you can pick up in just 1 year!
my main problem is right foot down and covering the clutch all the while! understandable for a 2 poke rider! i got really wet and i'm quite tired but another day tomorrow and then test on tuesday at 10:44am they are very percise time wise, ain't they! the bike is a really cheap peice of chinese tat but it'll do 60mph and maybe a little more! its called a Champ Commuter 125! uber exciting stuff! hopefully i'll pass and then away with those silly L's! here she is courtosey of Fleabay |

Do the right thing for 30 mins or so and then go back to the old habits |

Good luck!
My test was done by a bloke in a car, that I kept leaving behind. Each corner I went round, he was just coming around the last one! He must have watched me for all of 5 minutes! But I passed, so I don't care! |

yeah it's a bit like train times but hopefully the don't run quite as late as trains nowerdays! yeah i can't wait to pass then do my own thing again! i found the U-turns quite hard at first but got them sorted and it's hard to remember what to do when you are preparing to move out of a side road! all the looking round and so on! it's also a lot eaiser doing all that actually on the road as apposed to an old airfield!

Allocated time for Test = 45 mins Testers break time between tests = 12 minutes. So 57 Mins between tests, tho by my watch that would make have them start at 8:50 for test number one...... Typical covernment tho, I mean why not just give the testers another 3 mins and have all tests start on the hour...... David |
