I think I'm having a mid life crisis at 22 aswell! :-)

It was very much a case of the girlfriend broke up with me, I thought "to hell with this, I'm getting a bike - I can't be arsed with a girlfriend" and had my car up for sale within the hour! a week later I had sold it, a week and a half later I'm here with a bike and no car at all!

I've been out on it since 9am this morning, only just got back home :-) since 3:30pm yesterday I have put 139 miles on the clock :O I've been practicing lots!

I can now keep up with cars (nobody overtakes me now!) and have also been doing some filtering! I can't wait to see that looooong line of traffic in the morning (no joke, must be 1/2 - 3/4 a mile long) and just riding round it :-)

Well I feel tired but like the happiest boy on the planet! can't wait to do my DAS, this will be good practice for it and then I'll only need 2/3 days DAS and hopefully pass first time!

I've found it easier to go round bends if I put my leg out on the side I'm leaning...will the examiner mark me down if I do this in an exam? I don't want to get into bad habits...

I'm gonna go have a pizza now, just to make this day even better!
