Yeah don't muck about, go for R then F as soon as you can. I can't see the point of hanging about on R forever like some noobs roundhereabouts.

Hi Kate,

Sorry to hear you failed. When I did mine I took my gn250....which was fine, except I had difficultly with the cones....(mainly because the carpark was so small and he had laid cones out really tight together) anyway I did pass with I was stoked as same thing people kept telling me it's a piece of piss - you will pass But, I wanted to say even my gn seemed bit too big.

Anyway, don't be disheartened and have another go. Good luck!!!

Hi Ladies!

I have been riding for about 3 months and went to sit my BHS and FAILED!!

I cant believe it but couldnt get my bike around the cones for the weave, and only could do the U turn sweeping the right way. (Plus i'm a little pissed at myself for wasting $70!!)

Maybe a mind set thing?

I ride a GSX and am fairly competent on the road. The guy reckoned that my bike was too big??

Has anyone else experienced this and any tips for getting through it? The feedback I was getting from everyone prior was it would be a piece of piss and that I couldnt fail!

He had a little GN125, has anyone had to sit this test twice and do you reckon it would be easier on his bike?

Thanks heaps!!
Kate
