Good luck Matty, im sure you will pass first time. How many lessons do you rekon you will fit in for the next 4 weeks?
I dont want to give a date for mine, but it is not far away now, the final countdown has begun  . |

well i have to be fair 4 wheels do have there use but for me 2 wheels are the fun factor, and im not saying i drive fast or stupidly i own 4 cruisers and i let the miles just cruise on by.
but when u get on your bike put rucksack on, strap your tent on the luggage rack and head of with no final destination in mind just keep on goin now that is a great feelin.
ive found some of the nicest villages, greatest beers, lovely pubs and some rather strange people, especially the bloke under a bridge, can of special brew in one hand dirty mag on his lap,and i dont have to tell you what his other hand was doin but it looked like he was polishing something lol,needless to say i dint hang about.
i could never go back to these places cause alot of the time i dont know where ive beenn as i said just keep goin
i just love it, always have and hopefully always will |

There is a flaw in your plan - more traffic means more clutch control. I prefered the open road on my test, as it was easier without all the gear changes and slow moving and stuff, especially when you are nervous.
but I suppose since driving in Bristol is just one big traffic jam anyway you might as well get used to it |

Good luck...you'l be fine, especially if you've already got road experience. I did it the other way round - car then bike - passed 2nd attempt with car but 1st time with bike

well done that man, just as I fancy going from 4 wheels to 2...........
thing is, I really want an old Lambretta, and I can't decide if I'll look too much like a plonker driving one. |
