my advice is.. don't brick it!
Just ride like you would on a lesson, don't get nervous (if you can help it) and just forget about the fact that it's a test!
oh, and good luck! |

Best of luck for the test. When I do mine I reckon I'll ride like I do on my commute to work and should be ok. If you worry overly about it you'll make mistakes that you usually wouldn't. ____________________ Too skint to buy a bike |

I'll have a bit of a problem getting used to wingmirrors again. I took it off my 50cc because no matter how much i adjusted it, i could see nothing but my shoulder. Good thing i have them on my NS.
If i remember correctly, for the U-turn, you check mirrors, shoulder check, move about 2 meters forward, shoulder check again, do the turn, mirror check then come to a stop in the stationary position?
I done this pretty well on my CBT, but i'll be doing a lot of practising before i do my test, just to make sure i pass first time.
Good luck Dandit, you shouldn't have a problem if you just take your time and don't make any daft decisions ____________________ Aprilia RSV Mille R Edwards Replica - Aprilia RS250 - Suzuki GSXR600 Supersport Race Bike |

ride like you know you are going to pass!! a big chunk of it is attitude!
you have to remember that your instructor wouldnt let you put in for it if he/she didnt think you would be ready for it!
and if they have faith in you YOU have to have faith in you!
you have worked hard to be ready for it and paid out a lot of money! dont ruin it by becoming nervous. ____________________ Sticks and stones may break my bones but leather and chains excite me! |

Test is DEAD easy, make sure you CANCEL YOUR INDICATORS - U turn is easy I just twisted round in my seat, took good look behind me and ahead, moved forward and round then came to a stop.
I've got my re-test on the 16th May.. failed due to indicators (as if you couldn't guess!) didn't cancel one.
Make your mirror checks slightly exadurated and make shoulder checks obvious.. to the side not down at your feet. Don't worry if you take wrong exit at roundabout or miss a left turn.. you CANNOT fail for going wrong way unless up one way street. Just Carry on and he/she'll re-route you another way.
Hope that helps! |

Yes it is easy, I was just careless, It's less nervewracking than a car test as the instuctor isn't watching your every twitch. All you've got to do is ride about for 20 mins - do a u-turn, an emegency stop and make sure you show you're confident on the bike. Finally - what's the point in your comment ? IMO it shows you've got nothing constructive to add. |
