    I knocked my instructor off his bike.

    Quite disappointing compared to your scenario.

  2. Assassinating the instructor might be considered rash by some, but
    assassinating the examiner would be counter-productive.

    Wasn't that the weed-related incident, whereupon you declared that
    stopping was dangerous and resolved to chug enthusiastically
    thereafter?

    One of the gurls that I did my lessons [1] with, road up a chain fence
    and ended up hooking the bike to it, by the brake lever.

    [1] CSM in the Wimbledon dog track.

    My mate, who I share the lockup with, was going to take his test on a
    scabby old MZ 125 (I'd supplied) but as the crankcase seals were on the
    way out [1] we decided for the test it maybe better if he hired one.

    The GS125 with disc brake didn't require as much force as the wanked SLS
    drum on the TS. He crashed on the emergency stop.

    If you're going to fail, do it with a certain amount of panache.


    [1] Smoked, ran, wouldn't idle, stalled, smoked a bit more, stalled
    again then a pain to restart. Not exactly an ideal test bike.

    No. It was a plain and simple :I had just arrived at our destination
    and was so happy that I could finally get off and stretch me legs that I
    completely forgot to do that and fell over onto a dry stone wall.

    I finally decided that stopping was dangerous enough for me to start
    campaigning against it when I got run over by a London Transport Omnibus
    whilst waiting in traffic one morning round the Aldgate.

    I always chug enthusiastically, except for those occasions when I
    enthusiastically chug.

  19. Yep! Falling off actually calmed the nerves; faced with certain
    failure what's left to worry about!
