oh stop it! you're killing me!

I know.....we left the test centre, took a left at a little roundabout and a right at the next one. Had a car try to cut me up at that second one but I thought I handled it ok and gt all my Obs right. Then up the ring road 1/4 mile, up into Kingswood, but straight back out again, back down on to the ring road and straight back to the test centre.

I was bricking it, thought I must have done something dangerous and was actually ready to give him a piece of my mind if he failed me because I knew I'd done it all well. My instructor looked well confused. Got into the test centre and he said, "Congratulations Cheryl, you passed at a very hight standard and well done on noticing that Volvo". My instructor then said, "wow that was quick". The reply from the examiner was, "well, the standard of riding was well high enough and I saw what I needed to see in those few miles so no point staying out in this appauling weather unecessarily".


BARGAIN because I was freeeeeezing!

Hmmm....got a CBR400RR, not big, but definately not slow...lol.

TBH, I think it has more to do with your attitude rather than the cc of the bike. It's up to you want you do with your right hand, use it foolishly and pay the price....take it easy and don't rush things and should be alright.

That's my opinion anyway, some may disagree, but doesn't matter as I'm not about to go get on the big Blade....lol

A BJ only takes a few minutes LP!

It's what I've often thought, that some examiners know instinctively when a learner is up to the neccessary standard.

Well done GG. Hope you get nice weather for the weekend
