Finally!

Yesterday I went to Deca to try again for my L's.
All went well it seemed: No worries on the first left-hand turn, indicated and stayed in the lines yay. I cracked the slow ride (11.6 seconds) yay, my mass hurdle finally accomplished!!! Onto stage 3, right-hand turn no probs what-so-ever, again indicated and stayed between the lines, on round for the final part, the emergancy stop, well was doing the required 20-25kph, the guys arm went up I pull on the brakes, uh-oh, back end jumps to the left and I'm on my arse, bike on its side squashing my foot- OUCH! get foot out, 2 small toes on fire, give them a wiggle not broken - phew! Needless to say I failed!
Oh well I get home and check injuries, 2 swollen toes looking a bit purple, bugger. Later on I notice purple bruise on inside of left knee, another bugger.
So what to do?
Well the only thing any superwoman would do, take it again! There is a class next day, just turn up for the test. OK! why not?
So I did, and this time no worries at all - I HAVE MY L's!!!!!!!!!!
All I need now is my bike back from Race Rep (hopefully Monday) and away I go. Dont pressure me for a ride out just yet, will get some road practice in with Mike first.
Hee hee hee Im so happy.
