i know its not a test but im well chuffed i got it done in one day Very Happy
instructor was great.
Il echo the usual opinion about the slow stuff, took a while to get used to, on the road was amazing Smile took me a good few shots to get used to turning right out of a junction, kept coming out straight then trying to turn, nearly hit a curb at one point Embarassed
kept getting told off for looking at the road and not where i wanted the bike to go, and i always forgot to cancel the indicator, but i got it in the end.
still need plenty more practise though, so next plan is finding a 125 and the nearest car park.
really enjoyed it though, so plan is to get plenty of practise in and get my full licence.

Well done Kerr, I came home absolutely shattered, so much to think about all at once Smile
I kept having indicators shouted at me and I fell off in the car park Laughing
Get your 125 bought and get out as much as you can while the weather is nice, good luck Thumbs Up

It does take time, I rode a 125 for a year before I felt ready for my test, don't rush or pressure yourself, far too many people run before they can walk, enjoy and be careful Smile

Congrats.
Snowie got hers today, too. I had expected her to come back 'Shattered'... but no.... not that girl!
All keyed up, and bubbling over, she STILL is.... and she got back before six! She's now planning where to go tomorrow, and Monday, and.... I need SLEEP.... its exhausting trying to keep up with this girl!

car parks are your friend now, whenever I go to Morrisons I practice one manouvre or another, might be figure eighting around some drain covers or just very slow riding, Erm.. even done the swerve manouvre a couple of times when It's quiet.
