    Well, there's a surprise! Did my second test today, with a much friendlier guy than my first test and, once again, nerves just killed me. I stuffed up a number of things, including putting down a foot when I tried a U turn (but he wasn't looking my way) and doing a couple of k's over the limit once or twice.
    But I passed anyway, with only 1 point lost :)
    Being the first time I had ridden in the rain didn't help and doing 100 on the highway next to a semi blowing spray everywhere was a new experience but I was laughing about it as we were going along and I suspect he gave me some credit for not freaking out.
    Anyway, that's done now and knowing I can ride whenever I like, without having to convince someone to shadow me I a great buzz :)

    Thanks @kiffsta :) Mind you, if this rain doesn't stop soon I might have to go buy some wet weather gear so I can go out again :)
