Got my test tomorrow morning ... 9.37am

Hopefully I should be ok, did lots of U-turns over the weekend!!

Only normal test so will be restricted to smaller bike ... but better than nothing and eventually I'll get a bike.

Will let you all know tomorrow how I get on.

Good Luck!

You will be able to have as big a bike as you like (as long as you're not doing A1..), just it'll have to be 33bhp. Very Happy

Thanks to all for your encouraging words ....

However ....

Sad

I have failed Sad

17 minors!!! I still can't believe it!

Going back to lessons on Sunday and will talk it thru with the instructor to make sure next time I'll pass!

17??? wow, any way, at least you got no majors. Touch up your riding and you'll nail it next time.

Chin up!!! Thumbs Up

Dont worry i failed first time, as did many people.

KevTM · World Chat Champion Joined: 15 Apr 2004 Karma :

Sorry to hear that mate.. but yeah just stick in there and get it passed!

I failed mine first time and i gave up- worst thing i ever did as i had to do my CBT, and do my theory, lessons etc all over again.

Better luck next time Thumbs Up

Certainly not giving up. Very Happy

Took me over 10 years from the legal riding ge to finally getting round to get the licence ... so not really prepared to let a small thing like this stop me.

I know 17 is an achievement!! Mr. Green

Just out of curiosity, the majority of people that have failed the first time around, have done so on minors or major errors?

KevTM · World Chat Champion Joined: 15 Apr 2004 Karma :

i didn't have any majors although i must have had most of my minors on the same error, which i failed on!

Charley · Two Stroke Sniffer Joined: 07 May 2004 Karma :

I have failed my test 2 times ....so far!!!.....both on major faults....with 2-5 minors

Think you should be proud.....17.....wow....well done though....at least you know what to expect next time!!

What were the minor faults out of interest...?

Inglesina94 · Trackday Trickster Joined: 06 Apr 2004 Karma :

Well ....

starting from the top .....

- lifesavers too late, nearly all of them. (a bit puzzled about this one as my instructor never mentioned it)

- rear observation too far back ... so made the bike wobble

- wrong positioning on the road

Also marked down 1 minor for the stop and one for the U Turn which I actually felt were ok.

Not really sure what happened Confused

although I know I didn't have a very good ride but I feel he really morally destroyed me! Sad

Still ... already picked my self up and ready to go back on a bike and practice a bit more! Smile
