DeeKnow’s Grotto

coz I could be picking one of them up for a ride on a big-boys bike now that I've passed my full bloody license. Man, what a nerve-racking experience, what the frig is it with those testing facists?

I turned up on time which was the 1st miracle, and this dude came out to introduce himself, I was about to extend a had to shake his but he never offered it.

Negative vibe number one!!!

Next I jump on the Yellow-flash (which Dave had kindly lent me) and strop up the road with Adolf in hot-pursuit, he asks me "if I can make a U-Turn" ... and I say "No, but I'll make its bloody eyes water" .. actually I didnt say that (Rodney Rude did), but as I try the turn I put my foot down nervously and immediately think to myself ... ITS ALL OVER ... ITS ALL OVER... ARRRRGGGHHHH!!!!!

He's as cool as U like, no feedback about the turn balls-up, so we carry on for another 40mins or so, him giving directions, about 20 turns at a time, e.g.

"I want you to proceed to the 3rd intersection, make a right turn, then the 3rd left and 1st right and right again through the roundabout and right then left up the hill to the 4th tree on the right bla bla bla ...."

My short term memory aint what it used to be for some reason so thats winding me up as well, I'm so busy thinking about directions I struggle to focus on keeping the bike upright.

Anyway, after an hour of torture we arrive back at the office and the dude starts advising me how I can improve my left turns, so I'm thinking .. ITS ALL OVER ... ITS ALL OVER... again, and he's got this smug "I'm looking FWD to testing you again punk" look on his face, but then he says "you did well, nice speed control. You've passed"

Thank Fuck !!!
