Good Luck when the time comes around

I think you come to a time when you know you can do it and so you just have to go ahead and book it, just keep practicing in the mean time, relax, you will be fine

Just go through it all in head for a few days every now and then leading up to the test. Then when it comes to the day say a running commentry out loud, it will help you concentrate and do things in the right order. Good luck

You will feel better when you're on the test after the firt corner thats the worst part, then you actually start to enjoy it. I actually found it to be easier then with my trainer as i paid more attention lol & didn't have him telling me what i was doing wrong, on my last training day i got told i needed 1 more lesson which i didn't think i needed but turns out that 1 day i learned a hell of alot & on the test it just came naturally to do all the checks & indicate etc.

You will pass aslong as you don't get any majors just keep that in mind & you're just doing everything he tells you.

Good Luck

Is there any aspect of the test that is worrying you in particular, or is it just general fear?

Pass and that feeling will disappear in a trice. Nerves are a good thing if you control them, hopefully they'll help you do everything by the book. I failed once by getting complacent and not being nervous in the slightest.

Good luck.

Thanks again guys.

To be honest it is silly stuff that I am bothered about. I'm worried about correcting indicators etc, which I normally am fine at (I know I'm being stupid!)

The thing that does worry me is moving the bike . . . I can move my bike but not without looking like I am on the edge of dropping it all the time! It's cos I am small. That is one of the reasons I am doing the A2 test and not DAS. If I'm not good moving a 125 I think I'll have no chance with a 500 (let alone trying to touch the floor when I'm on it!)

It's a little frustrating that as soon as I booked it the weather turned bad again! I feel like I need the practice as I haven't ridden since just before Christmas!

You will be fine my friend, We can go out the weekend before, and if we get boys bits sprayed he can come too if he's around too. Just think of the up coming European dream tour in summer! Also mate don't worry about the size of bikes when you pass, you can have a sit on the boys 400 and I'm sure you'll find it not to be too heavy. Have fun with it, get shot of the L's so we can go down the A1M

[Dazbo666]

I did my DAS last year, and was worried about the extra weight of the 500...
We had Honda CG125's for the CBT, and Suzuki GS500's for DAS, but to be honest the 500 actually seemed to have a more balanced feel than the 125

As for the test, almost everyone is nervous but as long as you can control it, rather than the nerves affecting your riding, you can use it to your advantage. I remember near the end of my test, I suddenly noticed that I'd been concentrating on my riding so much that I didn't realise it was almost over until we turned in to the road where the test centre was.

Good luck to ya!!

[Kitten]

You are all soooo kind!

Thanks Kara

When you get there you will worry what allll the fuss was about. Take it slowly, talk to yourself (I mean who's gonna hear you?), if you make a mistake, which you won't, just pretend it didn't happen and go for the win.

You've got the ability to pass, just ride to prove to yourself that you can do it, not the examiner.

The best of luck to you.
