14th Nov 2006 was probably my happiest day in this entire year. Yes! It is the day my engine size has been legally upgraded from 200cc to 400cc! Taking the bike test was a breeze. In fact, the toughest was the 1st practical lesson.
No need to guess, I failed my 1st practical lesson. During the whole session, I would depress the left lever whenever I wanted to slow down or stop. For those who have no idea what I'm talking about, left lever on a manual bike is the clutch while on an automatic bike it is the rear brake.
After the lesson, the instructor would debrief us all whether we passed or failed & advised us why we failed & how to overcome. When it was my turn, the 1st thing the instructor said was "What bike you riding?". I said an automatic scooter & he went "No wonder lah! Nevermind lah, just come back a few more times & you will pass"
I tell myself no way am I going to repeat another lesson, ever again! All I have to do is constantly remind myself that left hand clutch, right leg brake. I did that & I passed! But I did get 2 demerit points for the test. I was penalised for "Incorrect technique" during the Emergency Stop obstacle. Whatever it is for, I did stop before the stop line with ease. Not that I care about why I was penalised. The important issue is that I've passed the test & I don't have to spend a single cent nor another 100 minutes for a retest!
It is time to scout for a new & bigger ride!
