What did you fail on?

I see a lot of people saying they failed there first bike test. I still havent got a date for mine. I want to get it first time if I can.

So what did you fail on?

Pain is great. It lets me know I am alive.

Re: What did you fail on?

There's a thread already running which may shed some light for you

and this thread details how you can collect black marks that add up to a fail, have a read!

Re: What did you fail on?

The most common one is the U turn but the easiest to do when you have mastered it and the sad thing really is that depending on which bike you end up with you will probably never do another?

My Blackbird has linked brakes so I cant drag the back one without the front working too, so it tends to make the bike tip a little



I read that smoking weed destroys your brain cells - so I gave up reading

Re: What did you fail on?

U-turns, u-turns, effing u-turns. I'm teaching myself to do them now, 9 months after I passed.
