    Hi All

    Just passed my Direct Access test today - how stressful was that?! Had a couple of shots at the swerve, but managed to over compensate enoughto break the 50 kph barrier at take 2!

    Just having a relaxing beer to celebrate - ok maybe 2!!

    I am now obviously looking for a bike - I would like a 'comfortable' cruiser, mid speed range, any suggestions anyone?

    I would also like to thank Mark Able and Lee at Able training who helped me through. Top of bunch of guys, who made it fun and made sure we were safe!

    Cheers.

    Well done, so all you need is a bike and you can join the ride-outs. Might be worth hanging on and paying a visit to the bike show end of this month. You can check out lots of machines all under one roof and maybe have a road test or two and there are often some good deals going at the show.

    Congrats Mate...

    "Stressful" did mine in the Spring (just before the change) and it was the hardest thing I'd done for years. Was almost paralised with nerves.

    Worth it though for the ride home without somebody following you

    Well done.

    Congrats and welcome to WB! [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

    As has been said, sit and ride as many bikes as you can to get a feel of what is right for you.
