Just passed my motorcycle test this morning - in the pissing rain as well - hugely enjoyed (not) the BBC weather forecast last night predicting 25-50mm of rain in the South East and Thunder showers - in the event the conditions were bearable but the anticipation of monsoons didn't make for a good nights sleep......

Really happy to get through - with a couple of minors - huge credit to the training from my instructor - Steve Key (of Key Rider in Mytchett nr Farnborough) - would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone contemplating DAS or similar in the area - he is excellent, cool, calm and really gets you in the right frame of mind for the test.

Now - off shopping - probably for a Fazer 600!!!!

Thanks all - great community on here. And yes, my test was in Farnboro'. Amazingly the Examiner was pretty human - much better than the total bxstard I had many years ago when I failed as mere young lad in Reading......

Interestingly I've also noticed that I am (even) more hazard aware when driving the car now as well.....

Apparently it's all changed since the DSA became "self funding". Whereas before we were "candidates", now we are "customers".

Congratulations again on the pass smile
