    bunbury test?

    get your hill start in order if you've had lessons from one of the schools you'll know the drill,

    o-turns are in a safe place but you still have to head check and indicate etc as if you were on a busy street,

    the rest is pretty standard riding.

    i've got a house full of kids and a new baby but i can probably spare a few hours mid afternoon sunday, i haven't been through the test route in a while but i can follow you wherever you want to practice whatever you want to practice.
    Do you remember the good old days before the internet?

    Easy as then, half an hour on each is more than enough pm me address or pickup point and preferred time and I'll clear some time with the Mrs and prep my steed.

    congrats that warrants a post in the The 'I passed my 250 license test' thread

    didn't think you'd have any issues beyond nerves, you had the tricky stuff sorted.

    it would have been a walk in the park compared to doing it on the hyosung

    ah well plenty of time to learn, practice and improve now without needing anyone to look over your shoulder

    i practice emergency stops pretty regularly, most important thing is that there is nothing behind you when you do it, as you've seen in perfect conditions a bike can stop pretty damn quick and you don't want to be relying on someone else's reactions.
