Training and test.. starting tomorrow! EDIT **PASSED!**

[lofty]

I start my training tomorrow, two full days, and then my test on weds morning!
Only just fixed my bike today, thanks to a useful bf, and so I have been practising u-turns, I am not too bad in fairly wide roads, but I just kept looking at the curb in a narrower bit, useful!
I am hoping that it won't rain tomorrow!

Any tips?
I hope two days will be enough to drum everything into me!

you`ll be fine
Biggest thing is to listen to the instructors and if in doubt ask questions

Be patient as well if there are two of you and the other person isnt doing as well as you. You would expect the other person to be helpful and patient if you were struggling. You are both there to learn at the end of the day

Relax and enjoy it, if not then why bother eh?

Don't get hung up on the U turn otherwise you'll crack this and then fail on something silly like poor obs, leaving an indicator on or not judging speed in a 30/40mph zone.

Good luck, still upper lip and all that.

I was fine, didn't cock up any of my u turns, but got in a bit of a flap... cue the tears! because the woman who was instructing kept yelling at me for putting my feet down and kinda paddling about too much, but the bike they gave me was so tall that I could hardly touch the floor.
When we stopped she and the other bloke had to get off their bikes and one would come and help me because I couldn't put it on a centre stand.
Hopefully having a different bike tomorrow which would be good, hopefully I can still do my u turns on it.

Well today went much better, had a bike I can touch the floor on, so very happy!

Test tomorrow.... half 9 in the morning, but getting to the training centre for 7 so I can have an hour or so's ride around just to wake me up a bit before my test!

Good luck.

You should be fine though with a couple of days training under your belt. Just concentrate.

Thanks oli!

No I do not have a big head.... well maybe a tiny bit!

So chuffed about it, it went really well, but it was so cold. Had to be at Motag for 7am this morning because a guy had a test before me and we all rode down together, got a bit of last minute practise in which was good.

Still going to be riding my little 125 for winter, then I will get a bigger bike in the spring! Until then, my sister said I could be insured on her Buell Blast, so I can go for rides on that, just not allowed to commute to uni on it which is fair enough!

Well done! Congrats!
