Test Tomorrow
Well I thought I would share this with you guys, I have my 2nd test booked in for tomorrow, 2 weeks after taking my first one.
If I am honest I am quite nerveous, 1. as I have not ridden in 2 weeks and fear I will have forgotten everything and 2. as I failed the first one, for following too close on one occasion in the rain and indicating right at an island when going straight on, other than that examiner said was a spot on ride.
I know I should feel confident and I guess I partly do and partly don't, still worried about that damn U-Turn.
I have 2 hours booked in before my test so I guess it will be a hour and half ride about before we make our way to the test centre, I just really hope I pass so I can start riding my bike, just want to be able to tootle round and enjoy riding at my own pace.
Anyway thought I would tell someone, seeing as I have kept it quiet at work and within my close circle of friends I thought I would share it here non the less.
Cheers
Stu

Good luck!!!
It is a scary thing the test, especially when it hasn't gone to plan once before.
Hope you pass and get out on the monster very soon.

Good luck, Stu! Just stay calm and try to remember the following distance and indicating (also, turning off the indicator).
Hope to hear good news tomorrow and see you soon on your Monnie!

Well Euro, the connection was that in the song, the line before what I said was
'You've missed, am I too late? '
So if you read the post before mine you'll understand...
It's called lateral thinking !

Got my fingers crossed for you mate. Don't stress it, there's always another day if it goes wrong. All I would say is relax and it'll come naturally, if it rains, that'll give you an excuse to ride slower and you'll have more time to plan your actions.
Good luck dooood.
