Sunday was fab. Spent about two and a half hours on a Kawasaki ER-6, some on the practice ground and some on the road. I have to say it's not much different to a 125 when keeping it under 4-5k revs. That said, it's a VERY different beast when the dual carriageway awaits and you can let it rip. And the man-handling is, of course, more demanding.
Did all of the Mod 1 disciplines pretty well, apart from the ride at walking pace. Really struggled to not wobble and was tending to veer left. No idea why. Been out on my 125 and found if I clamp the tank with my legs then it reduces wobble. Work that one out!
Anyway, got 90 minutes at the test centre on Saturday, then 4 hours on the following Wednesday and then Mod 1 test straight after.
There's no reason why I shouldn't pass, but if I have a bad day at the office I'll just pay another £15.50 and give it another go.
Getting mightily fed up of screaming the 125 to get to 60mph....
