Flunked the motorcycle test...

Finally got to the next step in my quest for the motorcycle license. One day training course involving classroom instruction, road ride and a motorcycle skills test.

Got a bastard of an instructor, pedantic and rigid, who enjoyed the power he held over the four of us there that day. We all got through the instruction and road ride but I and another bloke flunked the rider skills test. In my case because I could not do the tight, slow U-turn without letting my foot touch the ground.

Back to the drawing board and next time I will practice the hell out of the specific manoevures needed to pass the test before going there.




The only redeeming feature of the day was this note stuck on the on the eye level flush cistern of the urinal in the men's toilet. The last line reads- PUSHEM HEAP BIG BUTTON ON TOP. Obviously the 'How?' question had been asked by a vertically challenged gentleman....
