Just passed my test this morning, in the wet, with a miserable instructor, but I done it! Very Happy

One minor, and that was only because a bus pulled out on me as I went to overtake it. Still, I couldnt be happier. Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

Everything was "perfect" according to the examiner, all the checks were there and done at the right time, signals, changing lanes etc.

Cant wait to get my hands on a bigger bike early next year!

WOOHOO! Very Happy

/Me goes to garage to remove L plates! Mr. Green

Thanks for the comments everyone. Very Happy

All the way home from the test centre, I had a huge grin on my face.. Mr. Green <-- Like that. Laughing The rain wasnt going to spoil it for me.

Havent noticed a difference in respect from other road users, yet. Does feel a lot different while riding, knowing I'm no longer a learner. Cool

Will pop over to the training centre this weekend, let my instructors know how I got on, also thank them for passing me. Smile

Took my first pillion this afternoon, was only a ride around the area near college but hey, she enjoyed it. Wink

Well done Cool Thumbs Up .

Horrible weather, i done mine last month and it was really windy. When we were going along a hill i could feel the wind trying to force me onto the other side of the road. The examiner said i could canel it and do it another day but i had to wait 4 weeks just to do it this time so i was like no way. And glad i did do it as i passed easy.

Make sure when you rip the L-plates of you through them on the floor and give them a good stamping on like i did Smile .

Nope. They arent exactly the best bikes for doing U turns on. Confused

Also the instructors at the training school said that the examiner wouldnt let me use the RS unless I had proof of restriction.

I just used one of the schools XR125's, really good bikes. Handle so smoothly. Thumbs Up

It got a good thrashing all the way back from the test centre afterwards! Mr. Green
