Second time around after failing my 1st on 19 Mar ....... only 2 minors, a perfect U turn (this time) and a big blue certificate in my mitts.

Had to go to King's Lynn for my test but it was worth it, how happy am I, now I can pick my bike up.

nice one mate

Good stuff! Congratulations dude, now the real learning begins.

well done mate

Well done mate

Cheers folks, it was a really nervous day, especially leading up to the u turn, but I just took your advice and rode like it was a normally day riding. Still got plenty to learn, especially counter steering at speed but I'm sure the confdence will come with experience and road use. Would a track day be of any benefit?

Many thanks Paul

Would a track day be of any benefit?

I think most people would agree it is, its fantastic for getting to know what your bike can do/improving riding skills as well as being the most fun you can have with your clothes on lol.

without having to worry about, cars, deisal spills, gravel, police, roadkill and all the other hazards on the road.

My first track experience was on a CBR600 at a Ron Haslam race school at donington. It was well worth the £250 odd it cost. It was very useful and they supply bikes and kit too, if you need it.

I have only done a couple of track days since,as I live way away from any circuits. I think nerves have always gotten the better of me when using my own bike at tracks though because it cost me lots when I binned my ZXR400.

wp - I would denfinately use the providers bike rather than my own, at least until I know how to semi control a machine at more than 50 mph around a bend.
