Well my girl did her DAS course last week, took her test on thursday and... failed. Poor girl is gutted! Managed to put her foot down on the u-turn, She showed me where and I am not surprised, tree lined avenue and on a slope!!
Tried to get her on a bike on saturday but her confidence is shot. She won´t ride the ZZR that I have rebuilt for her so am on the lookout for a cheap 125 to build her confidence back up. If anyone knows of one....

Hi, sorry to hear she didn't pass. Tell her from me to get back out there 'cos we all know she can do it - just think of it as a few circus tricks required on the day and then she will be able to relax.

Shame - stupid U-turn, who the feck needs it anyway!

Handy for those of us with sufficient lock to turn in a road width I suppose. The rest of you just do 99 point turns!Originally Posted by SkyJawa

Or just find the nearest roundabout!

I've got all of that to go through week after next so I do feel for her. I have my new bike sat in garden and rode a little in our road last week but my confidence of getting on a bigger bike was pretty low and consequently got off after about 5 minutes and put it back in the garden! But I've talked myself round to just going for it - what's the worst that can happen? The speed I'll be doing will not hurt me if I come off and I refuse to be beaten as I was a crap driver to start with and suddenly it all just came together. Maybe it will help her to know she's not alone in the way she feels.

Shame failed on touching foot down for a nanny state second, would understand it if you had your knee down.
Must admit I passed my practical first time with help of Abbey Rider Training, but I took my theory three times (crap memory).
Good Luck, hope all goes well for U. :-)
