New NOR :) !

[Cam]

Hahaha thanks! I'll be on the look out for more girl riders

Going for a few 2 hour lessons in Midland with Grunts so hopefully that'll be enough! But if anyone wants to shadow me on the weekend, give me a yell!!

I'm reasonably free on Saturdays for a ride around the area, but what are you calling "NOR"?

Let us know where your stomping ground is, I'll let you know my availability.

Don't forget to do a wheelie, assessors love wheelies !

Ha Ha. Em you have stalkers already...they know where you live and you haven't even posted it yet....ha ha. dont let steve find out.

For any that are going to possibly shadow Em, she is a pretty good rider. You shouldnt have too much trouble with her...

[Tevilspek]

Have you had the test yet?
Welcome, regardless.

As per this thread, No more Riding lessons or Car lessons at Matthews Netball car park!, Andrea (male, And'ray) will be teaching e-stops and the like this Saturday morning at the big Selby St carpark in Wembley.
Great way to get some practice, talk to some fellow riders, support a cause etc.

Andrea was my teacher and he's a bloody legend.

So yeah, if you're up early enough, can get a shadow if you need it, and are actually interested, come on down and meet a few fellow PSBers.

That goes out to everyone .

Welcome and don't let the tests worry you, get lots of road practice and you'll be fine! (that's what is my problem with getting my R-E!)

[EmB]

SEB! We're going out for a ride this Sunday. Steven wants to know if you want to come to shadow him?

Thanks for the invite Tevilspek, but I have my lesson booked in for this Saturday so I won't be able to make it down there.

Yeah, I'm hoping to get as much road practice as possible... Hopefully I won't fail lol. I can't be bothered waiting anymore!!!

No worries Em, have a good lesson.

* Just remember to indicate in AND OUT of roundabouts, and do it early (I lost a 1/4 point for not indicating OUT of a roundabout quick enough..).
* Go easy on the clutch, there is NO rush.
* Turn your head towards crossroads and paths and laneways, over emphasise it, do it to the point where you feel like you're overdoing it. Without causing yourself to have an accident, of course .
* Get in the habit of tapping the 'off switch' for your indicators when you're just riding along to ensure you're not riding with them still on. You don't want to leave a roundabout, have your indicators on, and ride past a laneway, for example. Just as you don't want to have to always be glancing down at your gauges.
* Show confidence when you meet the instructor. A firm handshake, a "G'day!". Make sure he/she knows from the outset that you have it in the bag.
* Take. Your. Time. There is no rush. The test will be over before you know, irrespective of how long you take. Obviously don't faff around to the point of them thinking you're not confident, but just move through the motions in a calm manner.
* Get in the habit of double, triple tapping your gear shift to get back into 1st gear as you get to a stop. Nothing worse than trying to take off in second gear. Just overdo. Tap, tap, tap. Better to show you're making sure you're definitely in 1st than to try to take off in 2nd, stall it and then fumble to get it going again. Obviously don't overdo it though...

You've no doubt had this stuff drilled into you already, but just doubling up.
