    I just passed mine today. >D Just try not to stall during the test, even when you aren't doing an exercise. Anyways you'll be fine, my dad had never been on a motorcycle before, did the full course, and passed easy.

    WOOHOO!

    I passed!



    Took a bit of getting used to the GN125, but glad I chose that instead of the automatic posties bike.

    Just need to get the theory done, get some money then I can buy Fireliv's Bandit

    Both my kids have got their licence now and it was simple. They were both used to dirt bikes - and although this is good riding - they were not used to indicators, and stuck their feet out when it came to corners - so if you are used to indicators and normal riding - you will honestly be fine. They give you really clear instructions and its always done in groups - so it won't be just you by yourself. Everyone else there will be just as nervous as you, but in reality, you have road experience already, so don't sweat it. Just go and enjoy it - you'll wonder what you were so worried about at the end.

    Well done. Time to hit the road. Can't remember if you do the theory before the basic handling but theory will be a sinch.

    Yup. It's so easy .. makes me wonder why it's not done before the basic handling test.

    Yes indeed! Sorry I haven't kept in touch I've had a bit of a busy/tough time over the summer with tech and everything else. But you'll see me around more from now on
