Day two- bike training

Hey guys!!!
Day two complete- got my CBT certificate. (compulsory basic training)
Had my first minor accident- sttempting to turn right at a t junction and got a bit confused and ended up speeding up and hit the curb on the opposite side of the road and fell off- brilliant!!!! Broke the wing mirror and have a few cuts and bruises. A lovely old lady pulling a shopping trolley came to check if I was ok bless her! Anyway, got striaght back on and all was well- apart from an achy arm and leg! Rode the 125 motorbike out on the road which was lots of fun!

day one bike training

Day one of bike training complete and I'm a physical wreck! It's so so hard!!! I came in and was asleep in bed by 6 but I will live to see another day.
Did a bit of training on a 125 bike and eventually got used to using the clutch, revs and breaks together- wahey! Did lots of figure 8s and even got up into 2nd gear- wowsers! (Can anyone sense the sarcasm?)
Went out n the road on a very cool and trendy scooter- didn't kill myself or anyone else- nearly hit a car right at the beginning but all was under control just in time- hee hee!!! I basically got confused between the clutch n the bike and the brake on the scooter- hence when I revved up the scoter and released the brake (thinking it was the clutch) I projected myself at top speed across the road directly towards a very nice black VW Golf! I think the trainer was a little concerned at this point!
Anyway, gotta get some more sleep before another gruelling day tomorrow.

The big countdown

Hey guys!!
Finally got around to starting a blog!!!

It's 69 days til fly day!

I had 'the big finance chat' with Mum and Dad so things are getting moving. (Thanks M and D!) Next is the 'big finance chat' with the ever impossible Student Loans Company!!!

I have motorcycle training tomorrow so I'm sure some comedy tales will follow shortly. I'll post a picture of me in my helmet!!!

Keep coming back!
