Did you know that if you come off your bike at 50mph the tarmac can wear through skin and bone at 2 inches a second!! Yeah, and it ain't very nice. so your hands will look fine will just need to tell them where to mail then as your arms will be shredded

how big is the U turn in your test
learner replied to chris128's topic in CBT, Test and Advanced Training Information
one thing my instructor said was "never do the u turn on your test with a full tank " as less fuel makes the bike less top heavy and may just give you the slight edge you need to complete the turn -

The new DSA motorcycle practical test...

so dose that mean if you go for the test and fail the road bit but not the off road you only have to take the part you failed again ? if so why not put it in the cbt ? -
The new DSA motorcycle practical test...
learner replied to a topic in CBT, Test and Advanced Training Information
the only prob I can see with the new test is the lack of test centers added to the the test takes longer there wil be less tests per day as well there will be less newbies like me on the road each week the test itself takes the guess work out of the u-turns ect as will be a standard distance where ever you take it -
someone said this on my cbt the instructor said that if you buy from the US may not carry the correct kite mark for the uk and some insurance companies will use it as an reason not to pay the full amount if hurt in a crash
