Restricted Test while the world ends

Well you will all be happy to know I passed my Restricted Test this lovely afternoon. I sat waiting for the testing guy while the End of the Earth descended on me from the the Waitaks.

No sooner had I jumped on the bike but all hell broke loose - Lightning, Thunder, and horizontal downpour. 30 seconds in and I couldn't see through my visor, the roads were slick, and the cagers forgot all road rules.

Pedestrians sprinted across the road, heads down, looking neither left nor right. Umbrellas flew across my path. Car doors were flung open with undue haste. The gutters overflowed across the road in raging torrents.

Apart from that, it was a breeze!

Safe riding. Obeying all the rules. Ride as if your Mum was on the back.

And no, you can't put a foot down.Or take two bites at it. Feet up, round in one go, no wobbles. But the roads they make you do the turn in are apparently dead easy, wide as. Don't forget the mirrors, indicator, headcheck, then just poot it round.
