Unfortunatly then my only other form of transport (the car) decided to wipe out my spare money. So picked up a cheap cg125 last month to give myself some road time till i retake my test. and practice my u-turns.

U-turns, what a load of bo&*%$ks. When I took my test, didn't think I was gonna miss the kerb, but carried on anyway 'cos I didn't want to fail. Missed it by about an inch! Talk about taking a gamble!
They're the single most useless way to assess riding on the entire test. Mind, I took my test on a 125 and they're a lot harder to control on the throttle than the bigger bikes, and yet on the 500s on test they do the u-turn on wider roads!
