I've been lucky....managed to get a test

[hackett]

Hi i'm new to this section but thought i'd say hi. I did my CBT today and have my Bike test on September 13th because someone cancelled. I was sat with two spotty 16 year olds who were asking the instructors things like "can i wheelie my moped" and although i'm only 24 i felt so annoyed by them and couldn't believe these idiots would be riding on the road. I won't be getting a bike for at least 6-12 months due to work commitments but hopefully if i pass i'll have it done and out of the way.

Any way enough of my ramblings .......hello everyone.

Hello and welcome!

Sykes did the biggest Scooter wheelie at Knockhill, that was COOL, but spotty yoofs are not.

Get some stuff on fleabay and buy an older bike for now

Indeed, and try to relax too, the instructor wants to see actual looks not rapid head twitching at every junction

Damn good habit to get into.... helpful even driving a car (spotted a few sneaky bikers loitering in my blind spot when going for overtakes that way... why some bikers do this I have NO idea - it's lethal)

Thanks for advice gents, i ride motocross as well but have never bothered taking my road licence but now due to the change coming in thought stuff it i'll go for it. I am nervous though!

I'm quite worried about the u-turn i can do it ok about 8 out of 10 times, its just that 2 out of 10 times i need to sort out!!

I was really worried about not getting my test in time, did my CBT 2 weeks ago and my theory last week, went online and had the choice of 4 dates and 5 times /date for my local centre, so booked in for the 20th of sept
