I passed!

I've just passed my advanced motorcycling test (IAM).
Phew!
It wasn't a great ride as I was too nervous and even managed to do 70 in a 60 on a 3 lane road (2 lanes my side) where the speed limit should have been 60! Whoops.
I've done much better on my observed rides and even my cross check before my test. But overall the examiner said the ride was good and in excess of what was needed but when I was relaxed the ride was standard was excellent.
Anyway they can't take the pass away now.

Re: I passed!

Well done Dave, that's brilliant


I really need to go and do some advanced training on the bike, done it in the car (which I never use) but not on the bike yet
