    The class room is a piece of piss mate no one failed in my group.:D

    Is that better shinny side up "

    I was talking to the bloke doing the course about the new changes and the track assessment and he said he is not looking for lap records to be broken .They won't expect you to be knee down doing the perfect race line they just want to see that you can get round track in a safe and controlled manor I think if you were riding round at 10mph and indicating when going round a corner then you might have a problem :eek:.Just ride round like you were doing a sighting lap and I reckon you will be fine the bloke on track will tell you exactly what he expects you to do.

    You really have nothing to worry about mate and if anything just enjoy the crack with the other lads doing it,as everyone on here said to me you really have nothing to worry about.The ACU do not want to fail people and I don't think they do unless your a complete twat on track.:D

    It was just a thought as well as a bit of humour mate. :)

    I have removed anything incriminating from my post too.

    Might be a bonus if it's Icy or Snowing?

    They will have to waive the Track Test and just appraise you on the classroom like they did last year.

    keep on dreaming lads, deep down you really know that you can't keep up with us on the 1000's :D :D :D .... and that we only ride 1000's to compensate for our lack of skills :p
