went ok though and after that bit I was relaxed.

I'm sure I remember seeing you could walk it round? although the way the bike test seems to go they'd prob fail you somewhere else if you did. Anyone else find it a very different experience to the car test? (apart from the obvious) I mean it all seemed to be about progress and being assertive.
Only minors I got were for not going fast enough on a dual carraigeway! Was pi55ing down, spray and cars everywhere. I was trying to be careful as I was 'on my test' but when we got back he moaned at me for not pushing it. I would of expected I'd need to take it easy. If it was a car test it'd probably be the opposite.

BTW the TPS is still working fine Regarding the fookin U-turn. It used to shit me too
I did the U-turn early in the test and was OK and thought "fook me I've passed", then failed on summat else
So I had to do it again
Scraped through that time though
And here's the REALLY stupid thing. I returned the 125 hire bike to the test centre that evening and never rode again for 14 years.

Get it done - you'll wonder why you ever fucked about with cars
If the weather is nice tomorrow, I think a trip out somewhere might be in order

Lee - Went down to see Gus so took the A692 from Hudds to Sheff, then back up the A629 to Soverign junction, left to Holmfirth, up over the isle of skye and took a right to Meltham, over the Chain to Marsden and then the A62 to Delph/Denshaw and back over Buckstones to my gaff
Was rather a nice ride for my first time out on my own
