TEST

[falcon]

Can anybody please calm my nerves about going for my full license this year. I keep talking myself out of it! The thought of it is turning me into a nervous wreck.....

Just book it. Then get as much road time in as possible. Get more experienced riders to go with you. Enjoy it. Speak to Deej.

Get along to some rideouts or host your own. That way you can see the fun of bigger bikes.

Yep do as Si says, get hold of Deej and book your test. If you can ride your bike, you can pass your test ;) . Get out and about with your other half as much as possible, he should be able to give you some pointers and you can then apply what you learn from Deej's instructor. Just relax and enjoy

[Smiler]

You keep talking yourself out of it......means you keep coming back to it!! Says to me that you really want to do this!!!!!!!!

+1 on everything already said, find an instructor that you really 'gel' with, someone who can really boost your confidence.

Go for it!!

Definiteky speak to deej. An intensive course /refresher i think is a great idea just to get you upto speed rit before your test. Other than that getting out with riders who you know are good and sensible and will provide no-holds-barred feedback

I completely agree with billinom8s. The best thing to do is just book it! The more you go over it in your mind the bigger obstacle it will become. At least if you book it you can then concentrate on your riding and practise as much as possible up until your test day.

I did an intensive course last March. I had a great instructor who calmed my nerves and helped me enjoy riding (even more!!! )

Book it now! Then enjoy!!!!! Good luck!

stop talking about it and get on and do it, we wont bite
if you need any help/reassurances before hand just give us a shout, if you want to just go for a ride beforehand I''ll do you a hour or so out on your own bike and give you some pointers on what you need to work on before your test

Lol Deej i'm not scared of you guys! i told you i'm bringing chocolate cake so it'll be all good! You know what worries me the most is that i'm 5'3" and nervous about being able to actually handle a bigger bike, i'm a bit tippy toes on the 125 already!
Definitely up for doing the hour thing though..

5'3 gah you will be fine, Katherine was 4'11 and passed on the 125

[badgerKDD]

And Deej keeps a couple of blocks of 3''x2'' timber in the lock up to put on your feet if you get really nervous ;)

[falcon]

I'll just wear a pair of enormous platforms or build up shoes like Tom Cruise has!

Hey - fellow 5'3" girl here - riding a ybr125, doing my theory tomorrow morning & hoping to do my full test before the summer... Give us an update! How are you getting on? Done your theory yet? Hope you're having fun whatever!

[Red5]

How are we doing with the tests?? Hope both going well with it... Like every one has said basically just get on and do it.
Always a reason to nmot do, so ignore those and there's a million reasons to do.
Good luck and let everyone know when it's done.
