I never took a single lesson,just went and took the test and passed.Mrs Albs reckons the examiner must have been a mentalist,she says I couldnt drive a pig with a stick. ::) ;D

My husband reckoned that the examiner didn't want to risk having to get back into a car with me, so, passed me first time! ;D ;D ;D

Very formal Ljay ;D ;D ;D  Not very supportive is he ::) ::)

When he takes you out for the first night (7pm-3am), ignores you throughout, and you still get together after....then that's something  ;)

Had my full bike license 2 weeks after turning 17, and my full car license 3 weeks after that.

No bike lessons whatsoever (they didn't really exist then anyway), just straight in and job done.
I took 2 lessons before the car test, but that was only to make sure I knew the car before I put myself up for the actual test.

The only reason for booking the driving lessons was quite simple - it would lead the examiner to believe I was making the effort if I was in a school car rather than my own.

Do I think that the tests of today make for a better driver?

Do I f**k!!!

My bike has 1 bhp per kilo, no test can prepare you for that.....

Very true,although it is better than it used to be  - ride round the block and if you didnt fallv off or knock a pedestrian over you passed. ::) ..........I didnt get a chance to take the test then,ended up in Hospital 2 weeks before my 17th and wasnt mobile for quite a while afterwards. ::)

I guess that all depends on what your bike weighs really.

My sub 200 KG Kawasaki Z900 did the quarter mile in 9.05s @ 152mph at the Bulldog 3 weeks ago....not a lot prepares you for that  ;)

I found the best preparation for that run was 12 cans of kangaroo piss (Fosters), half a dozen spliffs, and god knows how many lines (proper lines mind, not your pauper lines) of high grade coke straight off the block  ;D ;D

No point in worrying about today when you could get run over by a bus tomorrow.

Simple fact is...when your time's up - then it's up.

There are pics on another thread, but I'm too w@nkered to find them now.
Do a search for my posts and you'll find them though.
