Well never actually having taken my test, so had to learn all by myself, I think I am a complete lunatic and shouldn't be allowed on the road. :wink:

OK I would actually class my riding as reasonable, safe, considerate. (most of the time) I think some would call that boring, but then I have learnt the hard way so if riding like this prevents a re-occurrence of last year then so be it :D :D

I'd say average.

Better than I was when I passed but still got loads to learn. Got enough confidence to ride safely but not overconfident as to think I'm a riding god and go over my limits.

Luckily I didn't have to do the driving test as it is today. I'm sure I would fail.

However over the eons of time I've learnt a few things................mainly that crashes hurt and cost lots, but I 've never enjoyed riding more than right now.

And as Quiff said, you always keep on learning

way too young to be anything other than average, done some group riding though and got good feedback from them. Still loads to learn :smt103 just glad im starting young. :viking:
