What's your brew, as in life trade
ka-ja:
When I took my bike test a dog shot out of a gate and sank its teeth into my trouser leg, as I pulled to a stop, the nearby examiner was jumping up and down shouting kick the bar steward, but he did pass me my test!
Woodside:
seems like we all have a story about our test..
i done mine in chichester..and had a short lesson with the tester before, when we stopped for a bacon butty we talked about old bikes and i had a bsa c11g at the time in the garage...he was mighty impressed as i was only a nipper who was interested in old brit stuff...
when we left the cafe after half an hour or so we were out of chichester and heading to some outer village ...i forget where as it was just miles of lanes..
we ended up at his house and he had a garage full of brit bikes...after a cuppa and a chat i asked ."what about my test?"
he replied "dont worry you have passed"...
thinking back what with all that is going on in the news that could have ended alot worse .... :o
Nurse Julie:
I turned up for my test on my CD175 with my Nurses uniform hanging below my tasselled leather jacket. I was on my lunch break from work. I rode around the block, all of about 400 yards, did the emergency stop and he had already written out the pass certificate as I was riding round the block. Finished work at 3pm and went and picked up a 750 Triumph Bonneville. This was in 1980.

mike the bike:
I was expecting the examiner to leap out at me, as per the Frank Spencer clip. He held his clipboard in the air over 600 yards away. I was riding along pondering whether to stop right now, or stop where he was. After a quarter of a mile I decided I'd better stop.
Once I was stopped he beckoned me. I rode up to him and he said the emergency stop was very good. Very odd.
