ENGBen Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 OK no more fighting please.Dan you asked ,if i fail my (i take it you meant ridden ) test who would i blame.i would blame me.if i cant ride a bike to a good enough standard to pass the ridden test then i should fail ,but riding is a skill something that you can learn and perfect clicking at the right second when watching a vid isn't its luck.but lets not go there again .I'm not sure if i can be bothered you see a bike would be a toy but its looking like a rather expensive toy .i don't need one i would like one.i regretted not taking my bike test 30 years ago and thought before I'm past it i should give it ago but perhaps i am already past it .i have my next test on the 17 but its not set in stone as to whether i do it or not .i can cancel and get a refund .i could just get a 125 and ride that for the next two years but I'm not sure i would be satisfied with that ,unless it were a classic 125.my wife doesn't want anything to do with bikes so i would only ride it to and from work weather permitting and on the occasional sat/Sunday.perhaps i should get an open toped sports car and a medallion to satisfy my late mid life crises,at least i wouldnt have to take a test I dont think it matters what age you are, it feels great to go for a nice drive in a car but its a totally different experience when youve got a machine between your legs and your blasting around on it, totally different.Just remember that safety is whats important.

Guest Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 I also have the driving test success, dvd. Got it off amazon. Steve if you want to borrow it you can? Quote
steve s Posted March 2, 2011 Author Posted March 2, 2011 well thanks for all your comments and advice .I'm taking the test on the 17th and if i pass i pass if i don't ill just have to do it again .I'm going to find an instructor that has premises so i can have lessons for the mod 1 .ill go to a few local bike shops to see if there are any schools locally that can do this.but if all else fails then ill get me a classic 125 to pop to and from work when the sun shines ,which will still be fun .all the best . Steve .PS. now Kristy about my grammar Quote
