Weebl Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 And nervous as buggery. I know I can do everything required (did it all today) but I hate being tested where I know that one silly mistake will fail me, especially when I know I could do 50 figure 8's no problem but if I decide to be an idiot tomorrow and dab a foot down on one of two, that's it!One thing we did today that sort of goes against everything that I have read and seen before, for the Emergency Stop and Avoidance Test, everybody recommends being in second and nailing it, but my instructor today got me to snick it into third and just sort of waft through the speed trap. The results surprised me to be honest, I was hitting 51-54 KM/H pretty consistently and everything seemed really relaxed and unhurried. I never opened the throttle much after changing into third and I personally felt this set me up to be much more relaxed for what came after the speed trap.Anyway, I will let you know tomorrow if it actually helped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fast Eddie Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Good luck tomorrow. I think that trick about 3rd is what Gayle was told to do as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weebl Posted June 1, 2012 Author Share Posted June 1, 2012 Nice one mate......onwards and upwards now then..... Cheers Hard to believe that until the 18th of May (15 days ago) I had not ridden anything with gears or bigger than 50CC for 20 odd years. Now I am just the final step away from getting my full licence!The wait will be hard though I would rather do it tomorrow than wait two weeks and have time to start worrying about cocking it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weebl Posted June 1, 2012 Author Share Posted June 1, 2012 Gotta keep a positive mental attitude mate.......start thinking "I will pass"....make that your mantra.... Cheers I am actually quite positive about the whole thing. Like with the Mod one, I know I can ride to the standard required, and the only thing that will let me down is a momentary lapse into stupidity (forgetting to cancel an indicator is what I seem most worried about at the minute)I will still be nervy as buggery come 10 minutes before the test though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
