Had my Direct Access test today and passed....
I only got no faults, perfect... Instructor said it was a nice run.
I could have kissed him....

Then it was back home, sort the insurance and just done 50miles on my ZXR400 around Leeds, Sherburn-In-Elmet (Squires cafe).
Love it,... but it is scary!
It'll take a while to get used to it.

does the zxr400 feel a lot faster than the bike you used on your test and lesson ?

was it a biggish bike for your test such as er5 or cb500 ?

I used a Suzuki 500, couldn't tell you the model.
it was sluggish, but fast.... I'm used to Vespas!

ZXR400 seems like a fooking rocket as the side of it.

Bloody hell, thought I did well just getting 4. (1 unjustified, ie bike too slow for the overtake) (But I did take my test in Halifax, were the examiner is a well renound as a git, so I still think I did well).

Don't think I got any on my car test, (years ago), had 2 examiners in the car (ie his supervisor), said I was a pleasure to drive with and wished everyone was like me.

I still tell people this story 16 years on. (ohh shit i've just told it again).

Well done.

Might c u around sometime, im often in Leeds, look out for a silver gray er5, with under tray, and a silver screen.

RESULT!

It's a great feeling when you pass isn't it? And yes, you're right, very scary at first. I passed a couple of weeks back (08/08) and was very uneasy the first couple of times I went out alone. Don't feel at all uneasy now, even rode my bike through a muddy field leaving a festival on monday morning! (More luck than skill getting it out without dropping it me thinks)

The one bit of advice I gave to the kid going after me was, do lifesavers everwhere, overtaking parked cars & any movement which takes you off your natural course.
Make a strong head movement at every junction that opens up onto your road, it shows your observations.
As soon as you get into a increase in the speed limit get up there quickly and right on the limit, shows assertiveness and control.
Can't help you on the u-turns and emergency stops!
Good Luck!

Well I've been rising a Vespa PX 125 for the last few years but never a 'foot gear change' bike before. Or anything over 200cc.
Good thing about Vespas is they don;t have any mirrors so lifesavers are the only visual check u have.

Another tip is that if you want to build up decent karma so you don't have to pad out your posts, then try padding it out with proper sentences, not rubbish like that.


Anyway, well done on the 0 minors. I got that too! Mr. Green
