Mirrors.

Tips... just concentrate and if it helps to talk to yourself in your helmet, go for it.

Listen to what the dude says, and if you think you fuck something up, don't let it put you off, cos he may not have seen it (I stalled on mine, don't think he saw Smile

)

Good luck!

You can also mention that the acceleration will be different (more weight further back means the front is likely to lift on nearly all bikes), braking is heaviers, cornering is different, and low speed handling is different

Good luck with your test Smile
