good luck today!

I am currently sitting on my ass at home. Really quite sick actually, but if you can't get a shadow give me a ring.

rofl, nice cs

Stoneville · 22-07-2008, 01:53 PM

I'm a little worried that he still went ahead with the service, was thinking about that this morning on the way in, that's a lot of pressure to put on Kamahl, having to have it ready in time for him to get there for a practice.

hopefully he managed to get it all sorted and he's legal and on a long ride

Captain Starfish · 22-07-2008, 02:00 PM

Yup, despite being a sarky prick I do hope the best for the young man.

harns · 22-07-2008, 02:56 PM

ok so i failed again, guess what? it was the asshole that i had for my car prac about a month ago, hes not a nice bloke, came and whinged to me about the other instructors not sorting out the information or something.. and he seemed really negative, so i made a complaint after the test.

i apparently left the indicator on as soon as i pulled out of the starting area, for a whole street. i could have sworn on my life i turned it off, then put it back on coming into the corner (it was a short road) i just cant stand being around that center i reckon ill book my next test as far away from city west as possible...

other than that i did my logbook and HPT test and i got my car P's.. so its not a horrible day. i got a mate of mine to take my bike to kamahl, i was using a different bike for the test so no pressure there.

Bart · 22-07-2008, 03:03 PM

bad luck mate. I cant believe three different instructors got it wrong and failed you each time for a 'stupid' mistake. Have some more lessons and do the test in a month or two.

Captain Starfish · 22-07-2008, 03:25 PM

Forgive me if I appear rude, but three out of three ain't bad luck.

You aren't ready.

When you are ready, then no matter how much of an unrealistically nitpicky arsehat the assessor may be, he will not be able to fault you on your riding to the point of failing you.

More lessons. More time on the bike, and on the road. Go to it, son!

Stoneville · 22-07-2008, 03:35 PM

So I guess we'd better pick you up on Thursday night then????

harns · 22-07-2008, 03:44 PM

it would seem so

hmm well ive been using a hire bike so far, but now that my bike is fixed and good to go ill be taking that, and lucky for me im a hell of alot more confident on my bike, that outta help!

Captain Starfish · 22-07-2008, 03:48 PM

Yep, if your bike is running smooth and you're getting some decent time on it then you should be a lot better off next time around.

Happy to pick you up from Mt Claremont IF I'm going on the LNR, will know tomorrow night.

T-roy · 22-07-2008, 03:49 PM

just to make you feel better i did worse actually i did the unbelievable i failed my auto car license 3 times.

1 for indicating out and back in while overtaking a parked car, not doing head checks.

2. didn't wait 3 seconds at a stop sign, instant failz

3. instructor took me to a car park covered in leaves told me to park so i did, next to a car that was parked on top of the line which pushed me over the line two.

Hope that makes you feel better

harns · 22-07-2008, 03:50 PM
