    Talking OMG I Passed

    I did it!
    Here I was lying in bed this morning feeling sick and sorry for myself. Then I get a phone call telling me to get my arse out of bed and get my gear on because I was doing my Basic Handling Skills Test in 1/2 an hour. I tried using all the excuses I could think of (I'm not ready, I cant, I'm too sick). The response I got was "bullshit, your doing it". So being left with no other choice, off I went!

    I had an awesome tester, he was very patient and helpful but I thought I didnt do well enough and was disappointed in my riding. After another couple of practices of the emergency braking and a smoke break to calm the nerves, he told me to give it another go and I did and OMG I passed! So at 40 something years old, I have achieved something I never imagined to be possible and on Monday morning I will be a licenced motorcycle rider. Awesome

    Congrats mate, welcome to the club

    These forums are great, lots of helpful people with plenty of very useful advice. Some of it will save your life
    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

    I got mine today too! Fairly accidentally.
    I only went down to watch, see what was done and how so I would know when I was ready. There were four women sitting it and it looked pretty easy.

    So I asked if I could sit it, borrowed a helmet and rode a scooter for the first time ever!
    I felt like I was going stupidly slow and wobbly, but apparently (according to one of the other sitters) looked smooth and confident. I wouldn't say it was hard so much as challenging (in a good way).

    I bought my GN a month ago and have only ridden four or so timesaround a carpark.

    Need to start practising for the theory test now! (haven't got a car license so need to learn the road rules....)

    Good on ya for passing while physically compromised!

    Stella

    Thanks for the link!
    I sat my test with a guy that works out of Henderson Motorcycles. He turned out to be the AA Instructor that taught both my daughter and son to drive.
