...my motorcycle test, with 3 minor faults (15 to fail I think). I stalled the bike at a junction (the clutch was dodgy, I swear!), failed to take an opportunity to pull out at a busy roundabout (cars weren't using their indicators, I swear!), and I missed a final shoulder check at a right turn (fair enough I guess). Anyway, the examiner didn't notice I was going 72-73mph up the dual carriageway or that I beeped my horn when my thumb slipped off the indicator cancel button.
It worked out pretty well actually 'cos the 1-way communication radio the examiner had was well dodgy which meant I went straight across a double mini roundabout instead of left as I couldn't hear his directions (honest!). This meant that I ended up doing my u-turn on a really wide road instead of the much narrower one where they usually go. ;-)
If anyone wants to give me a Suzuki V-Strom 650 or a Honda Transalp 650/700...
I'll also consider BMW's...
