Yay!!! I passed!!

[Rach81]

After all the cancellations for the crappy weather, then a fail because of my crappy U-turn,

I passed my test this morning!! Yay!

[Rach81]

Thanks everyone! Wishing I'd taken the day off now

I did Mitzy, I was so worried about the U-turn I posted for some last minute encouragment too.
When I'd got the bike round the U-turn, I was shaking so much I didn't think I'd be able to ride off

I've spent quite a bit, all the tests that were cancelled had cost me money because I'd had to have refresher lessons and they don't tell you until the morning of your test that it's off.
CBT - £110
I've easily spent £700 in lessons and 2 tests.

For example this time, I had an hours refresher lesson, an hour before my test, an hours bike hire and the test = £129

My re-settlement grant for leaving the RAF was £534 which helped alot!

In hindsight I would have been better doing a weeks course, instead of fitting it around work then dragging out with 5 cancelled tests.

The woman I was learning with is pretty bloody cheeky to be honest. I paid for at least an hours lesson before each cancelled test.
I booked a lesson on Monday this week for 15.30, she didnt turn up until 16.10! I had a text at 15.40 telling me she'd be another 10 mins.

Today she told me to be there for 07.00, another lad 07.30 and she didn't turn up until 07.40! So I'd been sat in the cold for 40 minutes.

I'm so glad I passed today, I hate being dicked about but there's only one other school in the area and they're booked up for months, and that explains why. If I keep my patients waiting even 5 minutes they get a moody on!

I bought myself a CBR600 FV at Xmas, he's black and titanium.
Totally standard at mo' standard Honda exhaust etc, so any recommendations to pimp my ride gratefully received

Thanks everyone, I'm made up

It's forecast snow and temps of -3 this weekend though, might be able to sneak in a ride to the bike shop for some new gloves this aft though
