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!

Good luck. 10.44...quite random, are you sure?
Do the right thing for 30 mins or so and then go back to the old habits :lol:

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!

Thats the same test time i had.. found it very strange :? Guy after me had 11:46?.. must be the DVLA time guru's at it again

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!

Not that random, tho really silly......

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......

Yup, I was followed by a car, and couldn't hear the radio so we got a little lost....which resulted in no emergency stop, and the u-turn in the widest road ever...


Good luck for tomorrow :riding:
