Latest DAS lesson was this morning (test next week).

I definitely felt less smooth this morning, compared with my last lesson. Weird. It had been a week between, but even so I was surprised by how rusty I felt. No serious mistakes, just scruffy riding. I'm hoping it's just down to lack of practice (haven't been able to ride except on lessons). I'm really looking forward to piling on some serious miles once I pass.

Does anyone else find the quality of their riding varies?

I've been riding over a year, and about 20K miles. Mine changes day to day, and sometimes corner to corner. The learning curve doesn't end, and only sort of flattens off a bit in the firt year. It's great.

How many more lessons do you have before your test mate?

One more regular, plus the pre-test lesson - max about 3 hrs in the saddle.

Good luck mate, sure that you will be fine.

My last two days before my test (and the morning just before the actual test) went really well. Having said that, I still managed to fail, so the days immediately preceding may not be the best indicator of how you will do on the actual test hehe

Just ride your best and at least then you have a genuine indication of where you might need to spend extra time. Sure that you will be fine though!
