I was worried about rain but the lady I booked with cheerfully said that it would only be cancelled if there was flooding and the road were under water! I had visions of lightning and thunder - of course it was a fine day and everything was ok.'
I had a lesson (my one and only) before hand to "warm" me up and the instructor put it in perspective - he said "you rode here and you made it in piece, so obviously you can ride - your nerves are what will make fail -get over them" hahahahaha and he was right of course

Best advice is to hope that it pisses down.

Sympathy for the poor little sodden biker ftw.

Practice, practice, practice. get to an unused parking lot and just try pulling tighter and tighter turns slower and slower until you're unphased turning anywhere.

Best of luck when you take it :-)

I'm legal!!!!! The test was entirely different to what I expected and on a different route to what all my mates have done, but they passed me, woohoo!!!

The U turn was on a very wide road and was easy, so now I'm gonna wash and polish my bike, then I'm out for a blat!

Thanks heaps you guys for all the advice it really was useful
