| DAS nearly finished.... Well I have spent the last two days riding a GS 500 around the test routes of the local test center, all is going well and I have not fluffed a U-Turn yet! one slight skid of the back wheel on one emergency stop seems to be the worst of it. My test is a week on Teusday, I will hopefully be boring you all to tears with my practical test exploits as I bask in the glow of a full big bike liceence... A boring post I know, but I had to tell! Any amusing test stories out there? Richard |

| Re: DAS nearly finished.... Good to know I'm not on my tod! Don't frett the theory test, I had the cd rom for a week before the test and it helped a great deal and the folks at the test center in Coventry were really nice which helped. The hazard perception was ok too, I was more worried about that than the 50 questions but both wre ok in the end, if you put a little time in a week or two before you wil be just fine. Kep me posted!

| Re: DAS nearly finished.... HI Mate, i did exactly the same thing - rode around the test area to get an idea of roads and junctions. It deffo helped. The only story from my test is a boring one - the examiner sends you around the block to do your emeergency stop. I did about 3 practise stops on the parallel street!! Remember to check both shoulders after the stop. Oh yeh and it was the windiest rainiest day for the last 30 years |

| Re: DAS nearly finished.... Oh yeh, one more tip.... Make sure you STOP at a RED hexagonal STOP sign - even if the road is clear. Put one foot down - check both ways - then go.... |
