Anyway he is now booked in for 13th. So he will pass this time. And I picked up his bike from Harrogate last night. Nice T reg Yellow SV. NICE!

I got a minor for trying to put the bike into gear with the stand down after my U-turn (stalled it so wasnt a moving offence) Came under control of the vehicle I think.

Was also MY second time out with the same examiner (different test centre tho) so he had seen me ride before (said my ride where he failed me was better than the one that passed me) so while I dont think they are supposed to take previous into consideration, I feel he might have.

Sounds like there are some right "shower of ****" schools and examiners out there these days. I did mine with Brighouse school years ago and they were sound with nearly new cg125's and good radio's.Did test late November in jeans and cagoul, weather was foul.Test was in Halifax and examiner was really friendly and laughing at the weather and my "protective" gear.Chatted for half an hour about suitable first bikes and gear as it was his lunch time.P.S no he did not pass anyone as the lad before me failed cos his clutch control was diabolical.
