Bonniebird Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 Congratulations - your determination really paid off! Quote
Psychybikey Posted October 24, 2014 Author Posted October 24, 2014 It was brilliant - my aim for today was just for the instructor to say I was ready. He said "Let's go for a ride" and took me on a big long ride, and when we got back I said I'd enjoyed it and he gave me some feedback, then got this big book out and said he was happy to give me my certificate! I couldn't believe it! the clever thing was, I'd already done everything except the road riding part of the training, so he didn't tell me he was treating it as that - probably because I would have got into a flap - and it was Deeside on a Friday afternoon, quite busy, not a time I would have chosen, but that was good too because various hazards arose which I reacted to just the same as I would have done if I was driving a car; if anything it was a bit easier because a bike is narrower than a car. I'll just get used to everything first and then see about ditching those L-plates Quote
mailee66 Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 WHOO HOOO! Well done that woman! now that must be a huge confidence booster. Now get out on that bike and gain more confidence ready for the tests. Great news. Quote

thebendyfox Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 Firstly, huge congratulations to you - sticking with it even though it was difficult and getting past it. Well done Secondly, massive kudos to your instructor who had obviously figured out what the problem was (nerves?) and figured out a way around them. You obviously have the ability and the knowledge, you just needed the confidence without the pressure of a test situation.Rock n' Ride Quote
