As big bird has said, find a good motorbike training centre. I'm sure if they're a good enough firm they will take you out for a quick assesment ride and tell you how much work you've still got to go before you reach test standard and what courses they can offer.
I know an excellent company that would do that for you and be very honest about it, but unfortunatly they're in Essex. |

im sure the DAS instructor will know if you have any faults
a friend of mine has just passed and the lad who was doing his on the same day and had no faults failed as he was too cocky and ended up with too many minors ..
im sure you will pass libs ..  |

DSA 3day?..Do you mean is the direct access over 3 days?...No, Not if you have a valid CBT certificate, The 3 day course consists of 1st day = CBT 2nd day 500cc training 3rd day test (If you lucky some training before).
Just concentrate, Remember your shoulder checks and to cancle your indicators, Then I cant see much going wrong. I had 2 minors, Which im quite pleased with as on the U turn, I didnt follow instructions coz I was so nervous. But then I only had the one chance to pass my test, (As girlfriends pregnant) So the preasure was really on. I had been wanted to do my test for years but had to wait to reach 21. But the moral of the story is, I fooked up, and still passed.
Im in Bedford.
Love you too |

With out trying to sound rude ,it might take you longer tham 3-5 days to get to test standard as yo've been rideing for a year and almost certainly got some bad habbits that will take time to get out off .
But good luck to you when you take your test. |
