Good luck with the next test. Failed my DAS - much to my kids amusement on the U Turn. Didn't put my foot down once as I went over the curb, into the garden, through the living room etc.

The road was so narrow when I pushed the school Kwack round it was on full lock.

Went out - bought a 125 Yamaha Virago and sailed through the standard. Got the SV with a restrictor ECU and I'm happy as Larry. Use the wee twin to commute the mile or so to work - and SV for weekends or where I have to go over 5 miles.

Cowering behind the fairing, cruising 90-100mph is (apparently ossifer) is fine.

Hang in there!

A man of taste I was the same for a while, running the Horrible Yam through the week and taking the SV out at the weekend. It's not W82 RSC by any chance? THere's not many left these days. Hope it's not that one for your sake, it was a bomb...

That's weird. There is a girl here at work who started on a Virago and then bought a black K4!

I predict that you will both be interested in either a CBR600RR or a ZX6R next. (she is)

i didn;t think locking the wheel was a fail- as long as it wasn't too severe. i did a few times practising in the wet and the instructor didn't care. With passing tests i hate to inform you that it really is luck. The examiners have such on and off days, i passed riding badly, and failed riding perfectly. just stick it out (and nice bike! you might get someone with black wheels wanting to swap)

XVS started on a Dragstar 125 as well... It's a cult.
