Do it now !

Just do it ! You'll never regret it, but if you don't do it you will always be thinking "I wish I had done that..." ! The test is set to get harder everywhere in Europe, so do it as soon as possible. I used to be a bike instructor, and the most valuable piece of advice I can give you is what I was told when I started riding : whenever you ride a bike treat EVERY other road user as if they are trying to kill you... that way when one of them is, you'll be ready for it ! After 28 years of riding, that thought has kept me safe...
As an aside : a mate of mine was in his garage ( re-building a Suzuki GT380, again ) when his girlfriend stormed in and said "you think more of that bike than you do of me ! It has to go, or I will !" He didn't even turn round, just said "Bye then", and never saw her again !
