Anyway went out with the examiner, did all the stuff . . . and passed - hurrah  , got 3 minors two where related to missing a 40 sign so ended up doing 30 for a while in that limit and then didn't pull away smoothly at a junction - other than that all done!
Trevor, the instructor at RideSure, is a great bloke and certainly helped me crack the u turn and get everything else sorted, so thanks to him.
Just got to get a bike now  |
Bravo I did 3 minors as well.
1. Apparently to wobbly during U-Turn?? I was going less then 5mph what the hell he expects?
2. No leg down when stopping at red light. Funny enough I never stopped I was going 1 mph waiting for light to change. I do that a lot and my instructor was impressed that I could keep it like that.
3. To late to slow down from 50 to 40 mph.
Now go and get that 749s from 2004 or up in Yellow or Much cheaper black but then upgrade it with steering dumper and other missing bits. Forget about Red
With U-Turns the case is:
- I informed my instructor that I am getting a Ducati so will not be able to do a U-Turn unless road is 2.5 lane wide.
- Did the same for my examiner and yet still had to do it.
