:Dpassed DAS first time in Crawley yesterday

what a relief, my instructor made me practice the u-turns (my bad point) on a very narrow road just before the test, instant full lock required to do it, messed it up 95% of the time and egad even dropped the bike at 0mph!!

the other chap training with me (DVLA had lost his entitlement, muppets) passed in the morning so no pressure as it was either A roads or M23 back up to London

test was easy in comparison, mucho thanks to Jim (125s) and Richard (500s) at Elite for some great and very patient training! http://www.elitemotorcycletraining.com/

noticed riders out of town are far more polite, lots of nodding even when separated from my instructor due to traffic

now its time to search for my first bike :smiley:

Nice one! Now you can’t wait to get your bike I suspect…

I noticed the nodding out of town actually. I rode down to my Dad’s place in the country my first weekend with my bike and every biker I past gave me a nod - quite nice. I get the odd nod in town from other triple riders, but not many.

Well done mate :cool:

Congratulations! It’s just so the best feeling! (It lasts for ages).

You’ll find that only other bikers will fully appreciate your achievement as non-bikers have no idea of just how hard it is.

Enjoy! :cool:
