Mate, I wish I was taking the piss. I twisted the grip and my arms seemed to lock to the left. I was doing my cbt, when I looked over my shoulder a bloke had ridden into a fence and had started doing a burnout cos he wouldn't let go of the throttle I passed my cbt but now Im too much of a pussy to do my full licence

Funny thing is that I did a quote on an R6 yesterday

Mark said he'd teach me how to do the gears on his bike, might do the course in Nov

Mate, you had to be there, I thought I was in trouble. The thing is that the instructors didn't notice for what felt like ages (probably a few seconds), there was loads of smoke. Didn't really fill me with confidence when I learned the bloke was on his second day out of an intensive course!

Don't worry Andy, if that was his second day of an intensive course then he must just be a dumb fuck!

Mate, there's no way Im taking the piss, it was just surreal. Ive driven a few quick cars with no fears/probs but there I am, struggling with a pizza bike watching a bloke doing that On my cbt was some british motorcross rider that had a brand spanking new R6 off his sponsors waiting for him for when he had his road licence, I felt well out of my depth def a Jeremy Beadle moment

Big respect to all the bikers
