Had my driving licence taken away

[Sossige]

...because I finally managed to string everything together and passed my test this morning - Cat A entitlement on the way.

1 minor and I really think the examiner just wanted to be able to put something down on the sheet - a minor for being late with a right lifesaver just before turning right. I lifesaved just before I started turning, he wanted to see me do it earlier.

Really pleased that I linked it all together - did the tightest U turn ever and the E-stop was not a problem. Now I need to start looking for a 600 Hornet!

I am so chuffed, feel on top of the world. I should have passed before now but I believe the extra instruction I got as a result will have been beneficial and made me a better rider than if I passed first time. The fact I had to "hang on in there" and didn't quit made the victory even sweeter.

And it's the weekend

Soss

Ahh, you're so thoughtful and supportive

I could have passed before now and only have myself to blame for not, but I really believe the extra instruction has made me a better rider that I would be if I had passed first time - much more confident now that I was when I did y first test.

I'm bouncing around with excitement

Damn right mate, I realise that this is just the beginning of a life long "learning to ride a motorbike" - I always felt that way with my cars and did advanced/track training - it will be no different with my riding.

In fact, I was talking to my instructor straight after the test about what's next and I've got a leaflet for the "Enhanced rider scheme" which I will do with the same training school.

Edit: a *big* thanks to the guys at 3CMT in Berkshire.

Well done - just the weather for it, too!

Did you feel the same way as when you were 17 and passed the car one? I did...

I felt better

I was absolutely euphoric. I just felt on top of the world, I might as well have been King of the land at that moment in time.

I'm so pleased and looking forward to my first bike.

Yay!! Congratulations!!!

Brilliant news chap well Done... I admit I felt a bit of a heal announcing passing my test at the first go, when I knew what you were going through...


We'll have to meet up on a ride somewhere....
