Been looking on here for a while but finally decided to sign up. Started my 4 day DAS with On Yer Bike in Aylesbury on Sunday and passed my test yesterday afternoon!

Advice on U-Turns really helped master them. I did have a CBT about 7 years ago but had a bad accident and hadn't ridden since.

Messed up my emergency stop first time on the test as I was not going quick enough but he made me do it again. I thought I'd failed based on not doing it correctly the first time but thankfully I did.

First ride hom on my R6 in the dark last night on twisty roads was a challenge but once I'd got use to the riding position I felt fine. I'm well chuffed!

To On Yer Bike,

They still have the Cafe van in the carpark or they upgraded to a proper stand?

Great road that its on (the A41 i think???) leads up into great twisties out towards Brill etc. Do some exploring there are some wonderful sections, think its mentioned in various magasines.

Top choice of bike, just make sure the big black round things stay on the big smooth(ish) grey hard stuff. Thumbs Up

They're a top bunch, bought the R6 from them as well, my bro bought his R1 and another 125 from them aswell in the past month.

Excellent service and located on a great road as you say Smile

I was quite happy with that. Took me a while to get it at that price too. Best I could get for ages was £1269.
