Bike: Ducati S2R 800 2007

I just passed my test 2 weeks ago, and all I can say is be confident.

One really good thing about the school that I went with was, that they knew all 3 of the examiners really well, and the things that they like a test rider to do, even if it's not in and DAS paperwork.
The particular examiner I had likes 3 things in particular, firstly Very regular mirror checks (5 to 8 seconds, and both mirrors), next , getting up to speed ( where you can).Lastly ( and not in and DSA paperwork), when you come to a roundabout with 2 lanes on the entrance, he likes to see lifesavers on both sides.For example, when approaching in the left hand lane, as well as doing a left hand lifesaver he also likes to see a right hand lifesaver, to see if anyone is doing anything silly, and someone tried to on my test, and I found this invaluble.

As others have said here, enjoy your ride and don't worry about the examiner behind you.
