    Yeah, good one kev. Your experience was similar to mine whenI sat my Full test - the examiner asked no questions re hazards observed etc. Biggest hazard was having to worry about how far behind the tester was getting...

    Take care. Enjoy your riding. You have some awesome roads and scenery at your disposal in Southland. Enjoy!

    I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure...

    Congrats there Kev.

    Your assessor sounds like a bit of a twit to me.

    I don't believe there is such a thing of moving the bike from side to side too much.

    You see it is easier for the human eye to pick up movement rather than something that is still.
    If you are traveling down the road in a straight line toward a car, they will not notice you anywhere near as much as if you were weaving down the road.
    They might think "That guy is all over the place", but at least they have noticed you!

    Well done, take your time with getting the bigger bike and get to know your own limits, we all want you to be around for a long time, and practise is the best thing for that, if possible see if you can hook up with a mentor.
    If you can't be good, be good at it
