    Passed me full at last

    Well that was alot easier then I expected it to be..

    The 100k zone was 300m's long. The spotting the hazards was literally, go round that round-a-bout, come back and tell me any hazards. He told me the speed limit of each section of road I was on, including what speed to go through some road works.. and all of this while my front brake decided to play up and not actually work just when he was checking it. Told me just to use both at the same time..

    Not that i'm complaining that I passed or anything, I was just hoping for more of a.. test?

    The only thing he knit-picked about was that I didn't wrap my knees around the tank when i'm over 6ft tall on a bike designed for particularly short people..

    Oh well, now on the hunt for a bigger bike!

    Nice work...

    Yes, the test can be a bit of an anti climax.. seems to be a big build up to nothing..

    But the real test is ongoing for many happy years of hopefully accident free motorcycling..

    Well done on passing your full test.
    Try a Meanie. A nice cruiser. Goes well and handles well.

    Are you taking any prescription medication? [Rain Man]

    Try an Intruder.

    Hell, try mine.

    You'll be pleasantly surprised...

    Have to get rid of atleast one of my other bikes before I can get a new one in though.. something about taking up too much space.

    And I haven't ruled the Intruder out, if that was a genuine request to try it out, i'm not one to turn down an offer of riding another bike.

    I'm a good rider.. honest.

    Oh, and to Tod. Did it at Westgate.
