am I now feeling soooooo fecking nervous about it? I wasn't this nervous when I booked my test FFS.

I suppose I could be worried that the instructor is gonna rip my riding to bits Laughing

Anyone else had this odd feeling of nervousness in such a stupid situation???

Yep,
6 weeks after my CBT i booked with my instructor to have him check out my riding to be sure i didnt pick up any bad habbits/improved on things etc.

Shat myself through the whole thing, dont know why. 3 hours of riding and seemed very comprehensive but at the end only thing he could criticise is i had my fingers of the break apparently causing the break light to stay on (although i found out that was the spring on the back break was poooed up).
Smile

Result!.

I will admit i was talking to myself somewhat through it Smile

All the advanced style stuff I've done they've made a point of being overly friendly and underly critical to my mind - I wouldn't worry Smile

.

If you want to brush up a bit, get a copy of 'Motorcycle Roadcraft' and try and practice a few bits from that.

I've read the Roadcraft book but thought it better to be put through my paces, should get a good days riding out of it too.

Just hope I don't do anything stupid and out of character making me look like a right plank Rolling Eyes

After the first 5 minutes you'll get used to being watched.

It's not like trying to pass you test, nothing will change if you don't 'pass'.

My experiences have been positive so far.

Are they policemen? If so, then maybe you have an irrational fear about policement watching you...I'm sure once you're into your ride out, you'll forget about them. Thumbs Up

Well, I had my training on tuesday, nearly ended up in a hedge on the morning and it pissed down most of the afternoon but it was great.
Spent most of the day focusing on cornering around about 200 miles of twisty Northumberland and Cumbria roads Razz

Rode a bit slower than I would of liked in the morning when it was dry but in the afternoon in the wet the bike was zipping through the corners with no fear Laughing

I would definately recommend that if you have the motivation do take a course like this then do it Thumbs Up
