    R Class tests Cannington/Kelmscott

    Does anyone know the secret formula as to why it is impossible to book a test at these two sites as it is killing me! Kelmscott jumping the gun at the start of Rona season and cancelled my first test and staying back at work cost me my second test. Now it seems impossible for me to book a time at either of them...

    I just want a HD already

    Cause everyone else wants in
    And since you're trying private... you're down the list
    If you went with a school... they'd get you in faster
    I used Grunts... Grant got me a quick test

    Yeah, the dude I first had a pre-Rona test booked in with made me think that the booking system had changed as he had heaps to choose from. Wasn't until it cancelled and decided to try find a guy with a comfier R-class bike not made for 5ft tall chicks (my hips and knees were smoked after an hour)

    Fast forward to using a new dude with heaps comfier bike (not putting a foot down once for a heap of o-turns compared to half a dozen on old mates pos) and he didn't have any tests put aside. Turns out they aren't meant to keep test bookings hoarded and the list you speak of isn't meant to exist.

    Kinda fucked tbh, as now I gotta find another guy with comfy bike for tall people and who abuses the system to have times locked in and available.....

    I was hoping to find out a special day of the month that the next month gets released in batch form etc.

    Give Grant a call
    I did mine on a Fazer 600
    Comfy enough for a test ride... light enough

    After that mini lock-down where my second attempt at a test was cancelled again (two for two having a lock-down a few days out from my R class test) I got my big boy pants today with Grant.

    Full lesson beforehand had back and hip absolutely smoked. Limped off to the car to smash a few ibuprofen + caffeine pills, waited around for the test. Done in like 15 minutes, no stress at all.

    Bikeless at the moment (if you ignore the postie), torn between grabbing a bunky 1200 Sportster and tinker with it or be an idiot and get a bunky street/road glide.

    I was keen to go full retard and get a 0km 2020 Low Rider S and start buying up parts for a club-style build but I hate my job again
