Got my DAS tomorrow.

[f13ldy]

I feel pretty nervous though, not because of my riding (well my U-Turns have about a 80% success rate), but mainly because I worried I won't get a re-test in before the new requirements

Anyone got any tips on how to stay calm?

Betablockers?

Joking apart, good luck.

I think my u-turns would definitely turn to pot...

(pun intended)

Just take it easy. Try to think of it as just another ride out with a mate...sort of. As said before the examiners want you to pass. They are keen bikers who like to see steady, safe riding. Plenty of lifesavers, and nail the U-Turn and you'll be fine.

Good luck mate, and keep us informed.

Cheers.

The very best of luck mate.

just be cool, try to breathe deep and easy. Go through in your head which checks you need to do and which ones you don't.

Remember to lifesave before you move. Remember to check your mirrors every now and then and show the examiner that your are activly looking.

U-turns just be cool - not too slow and not too fast, slip that clutch and dont let it out. Touch the rear brake and use that to slow your roll. Look where you are going!

All stuff you know. It wil be a good ride out.

Indeed it was. No minors...

Until the U-Turn, didn't carry enough speed and put my foot down.

Oh well, roll on 3 weeks.

tough to take, but crack on and focus on the next time.

Yeah it is hard to take.

Especially as I was nailing them all morning.


Grrrrrr!

I was the other way around. Perfect u-turns up until the day of the test. Test was at 3pm so big lesson beforehand and just suddenly forgot how to do them! I got quite worked up about it but by some miracle actually managed to pull it off in the test.

[mi1ne]

i was exactly the same as you, too slow on u turn and put foot down, had been nailing them all morning before test!!

only got 1 minor apartf from that. have to wait 4 weeks for another test, and i think im lucky im even getting that before the sept cut off. no dates available up here in aberdeen/ peterhead etc.
