I did mine less than a month ago now. On the day of the test i dropped the bike during a u-turn practice and shattered all my confidence. Was kerb watching for starters, and stalled, which ended up with me in the middle of the road with a Fazer 6 on top of me!

My saving trick in the end was to set revs so she was singing, lifesaver, move off, and do a permanant lifesaver for the whole thing. Job Done. And the road we learnt on was half the width of the road on test!

Looking back, easy peasy. Just don't let it play on yer mind.

Thanks bandito, thats good, a permanent lifesaver and the smaller road to practice the u turn, I'll ask my instructor about that

Focus on where you want to be and let the clutch do all the work,that's what it's there for.
