Tips for taking my motorcycle test!
Hey, y'All!
Well after almost 5 months of riding on L-plates, I've finally taken the plunge and booked to take my full motorcycle licence course and test next Sunday 12th December here in Melbourne!
In the past few months, I've done over 2,000kms on my trusty Suzuki Marauder and whilst it still feels like I have to concentrate hard on my riding technique, it's definitely starting to come a bit more naturally these days, I think. And most important, I'm still LOVIN' riding, yeeha!
I think I'm a competent rider now and, looking at the skills I will have to show in the test (slow-riding manouevres, cornering, braking and swerving), I think I will be ok. But my main challenge is that I'm fine when I'm riding around under my own steam - but I tend to get fazed as soon as I know people are watching me!
Given that I'm going to be taking my test in a group of 5 other riders plus instructor - that's 6 pairs of eyes scrutinising my every move! - does anyone have any tips on how not to get put off by other people watching so I can just concentrate on the riding and passing my skills test?!
