Maybe you got the same one and together with inexperience you were unable to overcome the mechanical difficulty. Next time ask for a different bike. A guy in my class got his exchanged after he crashed against the fence.. and his bike was constantly dying.
You'll do great when you re-test, you'll see. Now you have the advantage of knowing ahead of time what's expecting you so you can prepare  |
You're totally right. And thanks for sharing that story... it makes me feel a little better. Extra practice def. couldn't hurt. I wish I had a 250 to practice with or at least another 150... experience really helped the other riders I could tell. And I hope I have a better bike next time but they're all pretty beat up.
