My Top Tip.

Try to remember what you've posted ie. telling the forum about that time you beat the crap out of your landrover when it's up for sale in another thread OK!

i should have said A land rover .... not the land rover cheers PB  shucks

A tip i had from my trainer was if you wobble on stopping is to look at your left mirror and you will lean that way without wobbling.

Don't use a sharp knife to cut old towels into rags for the bike, it may leat to a severed tendon and non riding of your 2 wheeled pride and joy.

do not sniff brasso unless of course you wish to burn out your nasal membranes.

another top tip ..... when riding on cobbles with a heavy baker of a bike try not to use EITHER brake.

No, i put my visor up and down a few times during my test and nothing bad came of it.  My only advice is the examiner is not there to catch you out, he's not the "enemy" just a bloke doing his job.  I was told to imagine the examiner is a sat nav you just follow the directions,  do what you usually do and relax!  Treat it as a trial test like your lessons and it's amazing how the pressure drops off.  Good luck
