yippeeeeeee
lil passed

Right so as Gid has said i pass.... Yippee!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Got off to a rubbish start and was worried that they wouldn't take me out on the road, but one of the instructors (lee) took the time and worked with me on a one-to-one basis while the others did other bits with the other instructor (tony). They then took us out on the road, and it all went to pot! could i rembember what i was told.... could i for toffee!!!!!

Tony was talking me though everything.... (it was a good job the other lad was better than me). The other lad was leading with tony right behind me..... in my mirrors all the time. We then stop to do the emergency stop and the turn in the road which i did fine (second time around) after i had gave myself a bit of a talking to had a little cry in my helmet as i was pi$$ed off at myself. Did emergency stop and turn again and got them right.

Once we left, Tony had me leading, and i seemed to improve 100% (even he said so). Still got a lot to improve tho.

So once we got back and he told both of us we had passed (huge sigh of relief) . Had a talk with Tony and decieded that going to done my DAS on a 125. Got a lesson tomorrow with Tony again and he said he'll give me a huge kick up the bum!

Just got a couple of things to think about tonight and maybe practice on drew's bike once i get home.

1. When pulling off a ease the clutch out so far and then let go!!!!!
2. I forget what gear i'm in so need to count them and remember
3. Getting my brain around countersteering.... was starting to get it towards the end so maybe tomorrow i will sort it!

But really enjoyed it and yes i'm now scared but not about riding a bike about getting everything wrong..... don't know how many times i said sorry the both Lee and Tony?!

But i will sleep well tonight and go back tomorrow with my brain saying I CAN DO THIS!!!!!

O and the most important thing that both Tony and Lee kept saying to me

RELAX and STOP LOOKING DOWN THERE IS NOTHING THERE LOOK AHEAD

don't know why i am looking down tho

Personally I wouldnt worry about that at the mo, just concentrate on doing what you need to do to pass. The rest will come later, but saying that if you can master it, its one less thing to learn later on.

Dont worry you're still learning, Just relax and listen to what you're being told. Its hell of a lot of things to take in in one go you're going to make mistakes and nobody is expecting you to nail it first time.

I remember coming home from my DAS lessons and being knackered from concentrating so much. Don't put to much pressure on yuorself just try and enjoy it.

Sounds like you are doing great If I was you I would really try and do it on the 500cc bike, it'll translate much easier to riding your SV once you've passed. Remember small steps and dont rule out doing the 500cc's once you have a bit more practice. You can always ask them if you can have a go and see how you get on. Don't rule it out till you've tried it is all I'm saying...
