If they went into the test knowing that they could nail the manoeuvre every singe time, the rest was easy and they rode with confidence on the test.

Didn't know you used to be an instructor

Shocking with my track record isn't it.

and successfully managed to add to the count of offs yesterday.

When u pass your test next time and your'e down here i'm sure john ed and i will accompany you on a ride, prob with nic on her scooter to keep ed company,

i,m sure you'll pass with ease next time. by the way ed nic thinks you're o.k too, just not as good lookin as me.

i'm off to tell nic off for usin my name.

I'm anticipating passing on attempt 3 on the 28th....last time I was too hesitant. I seem to be getting worse as I go along!

I seem to have a general plan now... its a bit dodgy but should work :P

As a bad point it looks like im going to be buying a brand new SV for my 1st bike becuase the 0% is too good an offer to miss. Now since im not doing my retest till the 3rd I'm going to have to buy my bike before I retake. Which isnt so much a bad thing since it will give me a great incentive to pass! but it also means the first time i drop it (and it will happen at some point) i think ill cry :P

But the plan is since im going to serbia 2 days after i do my bike test and then after i get back spending a week in Shrewsbury I think i may buy the new SV and get it delivered to my parents in shrews and then ill have a week to get used to the bike before riding back down here to london. If i fail on the 3rd i can book another retest in sunny shrewsbury where i know all the roads. If worst comes to worst and i dont manage to book that and even fail that one aswell my bike will be kept safe in a garage instead of here outside.

Meh, im not 100% on the plan yet but its an idea!

Oh and AK_UK. Best of luck on your retest aswell!!
