You will be fine next time. BTW no need to stop at round abouts if you look way ahead and plan to get there when there is a gap. That will happen if you not hurry too much.


also a good way of loosing the examiner (bonus points for that)

Temporarily. You'll then, moments latter, get a "pull over in the next safe place and wait for me to tell you to move off" in your ear halting your progress. But if you've an imaginary R6 then you'd have prearranged the test as a race with examiner and said see you back at test center and have been passed anyway, wheey.

Thread pains me because reminds me I've got all this ball ache to do again including the nonsense hill start and two other kind of starts or whatever. Look here Derek, gis me certificate because I've survived this long on a slow arse tiddler amongst the sea of even more powerful cars and bikes, including the L plated Vadero that made progress on me without even trying today, so certificate I'll gives you a fiver and me strongest conker and we can all go home happy, ight? <sadface>

Good going on the pass. Thumbs Up

Worst case, your progress halts and the clock keeps running.

Best case, "Didn't hear you, couldn't you keep up?"

I'd go for the latter since poor radios. Distant memories of endless crackling and broken messages.

Agree with Val's comment. I favor the approach of slow controlling upon approach and picking my moment. Good practice to do it on a tiddler since you have to be even more selective because not very much low down power but I do miss a bigger bike in that respect, having to shift mid way onto a roundabout because 125cc is a pain in the rear sometimes, including the times the not so nice gearbox puts you into neutral mid way.
