You get pulled up every so often and he writes things down...and he'll have a good memory ...

Good luck with your test

My examiner followed me in a car, I didn't realise they actually followed you on a bike??

Started snowing on my test.

The examiner was going to call it off for safety reasons but i managed to persuade him otherwise. He was on a big Pan with heated grips, A/C and a heated seat i think.

1st time the guy was in a car. 2nd time he was on a bike. While on the bike he didn't do the marking till the end of the test when we reached the test centre.

All depends on who is marking and how they prefer to do it.

How long does the test last roughly?

normally the examiner is in a car, if there not from the area (that's what i got told last week at my mates test) so they cna look at the route as there diving

My examiner was in a car (bmw). Think he had a board attatched to his dash so it would be easy to mark. Other than that i think one of those voice recorders could be used.

My test lasted about 30mins

I was followed by the examiner on a Pan Euro. Tried to shake him off a few times but the ol' CG125 couldn't cut it

Myself and Paul had the same examiner.

But mine remembered everything, and did all the marking of boxes at the end, he also followed on a big white BMW.

Bad thing was he couldn't really remember what my minors were for, just how many and which category they should have gone in. Therefore he offered little in the way of advice on how to improve.

He just said "it was a good ride".

I would have rathered him to say something like, you could do this a little bit better, or something.

Guess what I did yesterday? I did it with two minors, but I ran about 2 inches wide on the U-turn and mounted a dropped kerb.

He followed on his Pan-Euro and filled the test sheet in afterwards. Being allowed to open up the Fazer on the A38 back up made up for it a little. That and being asked if I could ride it to Macclesfield and back as a favour for my instructor (meeting another student for his test there), at no charge.

Still, ever onwards... I just hope I can ride as flawlessly next time; I was forever paranoid about stalling it or making a complete cockup, I could have sworn I made a load of serious errors he just didn't notice.

i didnt drop a single mark on U turn emergency stop or any other manoeuver, none on obs mirrors or anything. 4 in the box for positioning for being too close to the white line, fail. oh and did you know the test fee is going up to £55 form 10th august
