    Just did my restricted

    Did my restricted at Quay Street this morning, Just a general ride round really. 3, yes 3 U-Turns, the first two were one after the other on a reasonably wide road (Balfour Road), the last one was in Kenwyn Street, with car's parked on both sides but still lots of room.

    We pull up back at the AA centre after about 15 mins and he get's out of the car with that stern instructor face that they all seem to have, I think 'oh shit'. He then get's the nice little temporary licence book out and fills it in. I PASSED. Off comes the L plate and I ride away grinning like a bastard!

    The only comment from the guy was that bike speedometers 's can be way off, he rides himself and said his hornet is quite a bit under so I must have been a bit slow compared to what he was reading, other than that nothing else said.

    Fucking chuffed!

    Congratulations. The speedo thing is tricky, I just let the instructor know before each of my tests.

    Cheers. Yeah I just didn't think that it was that out, mind you I don't tend to look at it too much, just keep with the flow. Bit different when you have to stay at 50 and everyone else is doing 55 - 60 though.
