Aye, but still harsh to accept. 1kmph...its like 0.5 mph.

I dont have a couple hundred squids right now, just got knocked for £8k Client went bust on me...

Mod2 booked for 23rd June, subject to any cancellations they may get

Yeah, confidence is sky high right now

On the way to and from the test centre the ride was brilliant. Just followed the instructor, didnt have him talking away on the radio. Found all the um...procedures/observations so much more natural instead of concious efforts. Could just enjoy the ride...lovely. Practised blipping on downshift on the way back too, getting the hang of that.

I really liked this instructor as well, great laugh, doesnt take himself very seriously and puts you at ease from the word go.

Well done on passing with a near perfect ride.

But you were lucky. Some examiners might have marked the key thing as a serious control issue.

Serious? If that happened I'd probably be close to contesting it with whoever the higher power is.

To be fair, taken into consideration the nerve factor, and that both keys were silver, similar size on a single keyring with a gold nametag, and its not even my bike.

If they are looking for road sense/safety, ruining your own ignition isnt really "dangerous".

But yeah. Guess it doesnt matter now. I passed

It's nothing to do with a control issue....you can't hit someone with your bike if you can't even turn it on...lol
