Despite the rain and snow...

... I passed!

Weather was appaling, couldnt feel the clutch or front brake on the way home - the 3 hour journey Firstly, one of the clan got lost (radio batt. went dead) then just traffic and fuel stop for our hands to de-frost My test finished at 3:30, didnt get home till 7pm, then had to ride the TS home in the ice - that was fun

Got 5 minors in the end - 4 for speed (was doing 45/50 on a NSL dual-carraigeway and generally going a bit too slow) but i thought it to be appropriate to the conditions tbh. 1 for signal - dont know what that was about, maybe left the indi on a bit too long, he never mentioned it lol.

Still, couldnt take the smile off my face all the way home
Now the real learning begins, right

Congrats it is always best to learn in the wintertime thus you 'prove' that you can ride in any weather.

well done fella, i'd have thought 50 in a 60 is plenty in poor conditions! still what do minors matter when you've passed

[Ant132]

[ms51ves3]

4 minors on one thing, I'm surprised he didn't fail you.

Well done though

[nutter]

doesn't matter id have thought. I've never heard of anyone crashing from going to slow , and it's your perception of what is safe when it comes to bad conditions.

I'm expecting ice on my test, 27/11 at 08:20. Plenty of traffic, bo11ocks am i filtering. Should be fun doing my controlled stop

Hope to join you soon with the smile, cos once I pass i hope to get a gsx650f, but then again, thats changing almost everyday LOL

Well done

what show me tell me questions did he ask.....how did you answer them ..and what about the pillion question my test is in two weeks shitting myself

[Ant132]

Thanks all Still smiling Had to go out earlier and recue my mate with immobiliser troubles and when i got back i noticed my L-Plate was wonky, i straightened it and then thought WTF, and then threw them in the bin.

[ms51ves3]

[Ant132]

Yeah, perhaps the 'most' common would be "How would you carry a pillion?" which requires elements from all other possible questions.

What adjustments would you make to the machine?
What effects would carrying a pillion passenger have whilst riding this machine?
What advice would you give to a pillion rider?
