Motorcycles are perfectly safe as long as you remember they're dangerous.

Its not that hard to do
watch the helpful vids that have been posted and get plenty of practice in
Don't worry too much about it (I know its easy to say that!)

at least its only £15 if you do make a mess somewhere along the way, and I didn't get the mickey taken out of me too much when I failed first time round

Paractice both the directions as todays test was a left handed circuit, where the first was a right hander, which threw me as my lefts are not as fluid as right handers (and I have to get the power on early into the bend due to the age of the CG meaning the 11 or so horses it had in the 80's have long gone to the glue factory)

I failed on my first attempt due to locking the rear wheel on the emergency stop, I barely touched it this time

This time round I used up a lot more room to bring the bike to a stop on both the avaoidance and emergency stop, which he mentioned at the end of the test but gave some leeway due to the bike being old and drum braked

Just ride the best you can, take your time and practice all the manouvers making sure you are talking youself through the required observations as you go along and you will be fine

Good luck

Regards
Rob
