trying to get my money?

[dazza_b]

basically i have done three bike lessons now, on the second and third lesson they said i was fine and ready for my test, i booked this in.

i forgot what time my test was, so on my way home i popped in there to ask, and the person behind the desk was saying i should do more lessons, saying i'm not ready etc, which annoyed me, an when i said that the instructors have said i'm ready, she claims they told her i need to work on my pulling away, emergency stop, clutch control, gears... although i have never locked the wheeles, on my first lesson i stalled it once on a hill, and i done the slow ride etc fine.

is she just trying to get money, or do you think the instructors are just telling me one thing, but telling her another?

How much experience/roadtime seperate to the lessons have you got?

[Stu]

so a woman behind a desk who hasnt trained you or seen you ride is saying you need more lessons!!!

talk to the intructor tell her to sod off

i bet she has listening to a convo and got the wrong person or something

What Stu said, listen to your instructor and not some desk-monkey that has no idea of your abilities or skill level!

thanks , thought it could have been her just trying for money, thats why i never bothered booking in more lessons because of it, i mean, im pretty sure in the 15 months i have been riding i would be more capable than she is saying

Hmm where haven't i seen this situation before?

1. Honest employee of firm decides client/customer is ready and tells them that.

2. Boss / bean counters decide that not enough has been milked out of client/customer yet, and possibly even gives honest employee a telling off.

3. Boss / bean counter tries to get client/customer to reconsider their readiness and pay out more.

The answer is - nowhere!

Anyway, whether the firm is honest or not in this circumstance, the point is that your instructor wouldn't have told you you were ready unless he/she believed it. So it's either a mistake, or a ploy to get more money out of you.
