dingosteve Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Well 8th April is Mod day, and to be honest ive talked my self through every junction, round about , traffic light, parked car etc. Even when pushing the bairn in buggy along the path, in the car, or just walking.Yet despite knowing MSOMPSL as its emblazed into my brain im very worried about failling, instructors says im ready , says apart from few minors im doing nothing dangerous. So im bricking it yet calm in one state, im even considering doing some kind of meditation before hand to settle myself.And just to throw more pressure on myself i brought a bike Kawasaki 500s GPZ as more incentive to pass, i think its the thought of failing and financial implications it will bring. just venting my spleen!

dingosteve Posted April 4, 2011 Author Posted April 4, 2011 Yea 4 days till test, im already planning my weekend blast on bike!! instructor texted me, his last student just past his test today and he said he isnt no where near the standard of riding im at! Its all good moral ( dont care if he fibbing! to make me feel good )! Quote
dingosteve Posted April 7, 2011 Author Posted April 7, 2011 well i had me gpz outside and t cutted it and polished , started it up, sat on it and prayed to Odin that im gonna pass, was naughty and had ride up my back street just ease the pressure off me!So in 24hours il be part of the brotherhood of bikers! not just a mere fledging!

Stuno1 Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 Sorry to hear you failed. Saw a biker in an accident on a lesson one time.It is not for everyone and there is always that risk but of you are safe and well protected with good gear that is all you can do mate.Sounds like you need to think if it is for you???

Stuno1 Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 definitely making me think about it My wife is far from happy that i am doing it but ultimately it is something i feel i have to do! Only you know the answer dude. Stu Quote
