Default nearly there!

Hello-well I'm hopefully gonna be able to join up for some rideouts in the future-I passed my theory test last wednesday and then done my cbt on the thursday-it was ****ing down with rain and the instructer asked if we wanted to go back but it was to much fun,so carried on-now know how it feels to be really wet!!-felt fantastic to be out on the road-I couldn't get the grin off my face when we got back -got my test in december and can't wait to get out there-looking forward to getting out on the sv.

Good luck, remember its not enough to check your mirrors all the time, the examiner must see you check your mirrors all the time.

Oh yeah, life saver, life saver, life saver.

Hope it all goes well.

Adjust them so you have to move your head really obviously to see them! Simple but effective... And good luck!

Good luck with the test.

Don't fanny around thinking you have to behave like an angel as you would if there was a copper following you. He wants to see positive, assertive, confident, but legal and fully controlled, riding. Two guys before me failed for not getting up to speed on the dual carriageway (not up to speed was 65 instead of 70!), I blasted past a truck at 85 and didn't get a single black mark (Don't do that! It was just my examiners mood on the day) .

Ride confident and natural, remember all your mirror and shoulder procedures, don't screw up the U turn or emergency stop (practice like hell in a car park, remember mirror checks before moving off after the emergency stop) and you've passed!

Let us know how you get on.
