[defblade]

..... finding out how to drop my rear wheel.

Went off to the local big car park to practise a bit for my test on Tuesday.... came home with a puncture in the back

I'm at work all day Monday and due at the test centre Tuesday 9:30am.

So back wheel's in the car boot now and I'm praying the tyre place 5 minutes form work has one in stock and is open lunchtime....

Monday night I shall be mostly trying to get my wheel back in again (probably in the pouring rain ).

Passed Mod 1 at 9 o'clock then waited for Mod 2 at 11.



I think I was lucky with my examiner - he had 2 easy chances to fail me, one in each Mod.

Mod 1 we went back in and he asked me how I thought it went and I said "That was a crap emergency stop". He agreed then ummed and erred and I laid it on thick about the new rear tyre and that I thought he wasn't going to put his hand up until after the 2 red cones (I was barely through the trap). I got a massive rear skid and still had the throttle pinned open He sucked his teeth a bit and decided that as the stop was actually short, straight and controlled (upright, at least ) he'd pass it.

Mod 2 I was too busy watching traffic ahead and missed a 20mph limit He said it was lucky the traffic involved wasn't going too fast(ish) and he told me he saw my speed going up to 26-27mph and was saying to himself "don't blow it now". No other minors at all though

Phew.

I can go edit my sig file now

Well done matey.

Glad you had an examiner who wanted to see if you could ride a bike, and not one who wanted you to be a robot.

Wheelie lad,

Congrats
Your chuffing lucky though

I failed my mod 1 because I locked the back wheel on the emergency stop

Just adds fuel to the old rumour suggesting they have targets to meet

grumble grumble sour grapes and all that

Regards
