Breaking news.........

[Artemis]

Just failed the test.........

again..........

Oh well, booked the next one and it's before Christmas! Bugger it's getting too cold for this though!

On a bright note, no bruises this time.

Who was the bright spark that said third time lucky :dunno:

Bad luck Artemis. :B :B

Was it a silly mistake or the nerves that let you down ??

Never mind, passing the test next go will be a great Christmas present. :beer:

 

[Codbasher]

:bang: :bang: Typical bloody woman, takes no notice of me in the pub the other night when I told her to pass!!

Bad luck, what did you fail on?


You WILL do it next time, I want to see you and Floozy racing around the airfield next year (Not on my Blackbird though :blush: )



XXXX :k

 

[Artemis]

Well, it all came together this morning, great rides, IFH telling me I'd have passed on that ride. Then the test.

Quite calm this time and thought everything was going really well until 5 mins before the end when I'm riding along thinking 'I think I've cracked this' and a voice comes over the mike saying 'Turn your right signal off'. Oops, Instant fail.

Got back to the test centre and he'd given me three majors! One for the indicator, one for not indicating until I was on a roundabout (didn't realise I'd done that) and one for pulling away not under control.

That was as I was emerging at a T junction and lost my balance a bit, had to put my right foot down. Examiner thought I was going down, apparently, and said I did well to hold it up. Instructor said he often thinks that because I'm so light that I have to really grab and pull back with the slightest loss of balance, so I can't really blame the examiner on that one, even though, to me, it was just a single 'right foot down' moment.

A little disappointed as I really thought I'd do it after this morning, but when all's said and done, it was me that made the mistakes, so only me to blame.

However, you can't keep a good woman down.

Cue abuse.............................................................................

 

[Codbasher]

Simple answer to this one.













the Examiner was a t***, you will get a better one next time who wont discriminate against women. :k

 

[Artemis]

No, Coddy, not his fault. There were also the indicator failures, and I can understand how my minor (to me) wobbles look to others.

I failed, not him. But I can live with that, because I now know that I can pass, which is more than I thought a while back. It's not a case of 'if' any more, it's now 'when'. And as I said in the Derby, no machine is gonna beat me, and I'll pass, if it takes me ten tests! :bang: :bang:

 

[reefer]

bummer %$fan
still if you came that close this time it will be a walk through at the next one(fingers crossed!)

Sorry 'bout the test, keep at it! :beer:

 

[Artemis]

Fluffy Handcuffs!!

Yeah, saves all that chaffing on the wrists and ankles, and no nasty link-marks from the chains...........oops, forgot myself there.

By the way, Penblwydd Hapus. Hope your day's been better than mine!

Wolfie, I can soon get Hunter to take a photo on the bike with them boots on, but I'm afraid it's doubtful that I can ride in them. I'll try though, just for you! :k

 

[Wolfie]

no that is cheating and i would feel disappointed and duped, need to be the real thing, aint worried if the bird is in there, any motorcycle will do!!!

 

[Artemis]

Do you want the CBR600 (Red) or the GS500 (Blue)?

The Bird (Black) can be there as well, if we get someone else to take the photo.

 

[Wolfie]

cbr600, will do nicely,

ta very much.

 

[Artemis]

OK, CBR600 it is (that's my favourite too). :bow:

Well, I'd better pass next time then! :blush:

 

[Supabird1100]
