    Yep, as long as I pass today I'll have my full by the end of the year and am looking to get an SV650 and keep the KR for street stock racing, which I hope to get into smetime next year.

    A good way to relax also is to SMILE while you are riding. Sounds stupid and looks even stupider, but does work. I do it when someone cuts me off, pulls out in front of me, looks at me weirdly..........

    and now for the fat version

    In the words of the marketing gods.

    Just do it.

    And don't scare the shit out of the tester with your airhorns!
    Some things are worth dying for, living is one of them.

    First - Good luck
    Second here's the fact sheet for a full lisence test (LTSA) I suppose if you follow this you can't go wrong?
    They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old.
    Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
    At the going down of the sun and in the evening,
    we will remember them

    ?!? Are you suppose to do that? Didn't think twice about it when I sat my full a month ago. Don't know the rules, but honestly, I'd be more impressed if you only used one foot and kept the other on the peg. Why, simply it demonstrates you have control over the bike, are able to maintain balance, and most of all, are confident in your ability.

    I'm very cautious of bikers who rest with both feet down and pull away with both feet in the air, like they're trying to keep balanced while acclerating. Give 'em a wide berth.

    Don't do what I do and balance with no feet, that might come off as over confident

    LOL, I took two wrong turns and missed three on my recent test. It's all good. If nothing else you get to demonstrate heaps of perfect u-turns

    Good luck, or if you've already sat it, how'd it go?

    You don't have to put both feet down, but it is often suggested as a good idea on the test because it clearly shows that you have indeed come to a dead stop. If you put one foot down the tester may not see it.

    I have heard that taking a wrong turn is no problem, but if yoiu actually LOSE the tester you will be failed (a) because you can't finish the test , and (b) because it shows you were not using your mirrors.

    A hint I've seen also is to deliberately misalign your mirrors so you are forced to move your head to look in them. Once again, making it plain to the tester what you are doing. If you can see in the mirrors just by rolling your eyes , the tester cannot see that you are doing it.

    Good point.

    This probably applies more cruisers than sports bikes, where you've got to move your head as well as tuck in an elbow just to get some sort of idea what's behind you.

    Sore back after riding > 1 hour
    Mirrors don't work
    Freak'n expensive if you drop it

    Sport bikes FTW
