    Thanks one and all!
    I hope to be sorting out insurance cover when I get back from Bristol!

    Gutted - failed for the 2nd time.
    Did 2 hill starts perfectly ( including the gradient adverse camber right turn jobby )
    I then couldnt get my bike into neutral before I started my final hill start. I thought that I had kicked down into first but I was in second - hence a stall.
    Fail!

    Thanks once again for all the words of encouragement.
    Third time lucky I guess!
    I am now well and truly racked off.

    Sorry to hear that Rabb.
    As you say though, third time lucky. You'll nail it next time as you'll know exactly what to expect basically!

    A person that never gives up to me is the winner all the time! Think of it as more experience!

    Youll do it next time!

    Chin up we are all behind you!

    Thanks Last Train - when I got home I had the same problem - I couldn't get the bike into first
    (I have a very steep driveway)
    My instructor had a look and told me to release the clutch handle a little from being fully depressed and hey presto it then went into first! This shouldn't happen - I'll get my mate to have another look at my bike before my next test.
