Final Lessons

I'm onto my final lessons now and biking is starting to feel a lot more natural. I used my helmet for the first time today and realised it is noticeably quieter than the one the school provides. It feels a lot more comfortable to ride and I can see myself commuting daily. However, theres the downside that I cannot hear my engine so much which I was relying on to remind me of the bike's gear.

Being a car driver, I'm finding it difficult to remember to move over to the right when turning right etc. I've also picked up bad habits of rushing into things that end up being close calls (i.e. no priority over oncoming traffic signs). 

Still forgetting a few life-savers too :( I'm more concerned about how this could affect my health than whether I'll fail my test for it.

Saw a ZXR400 in the flesh today - amazing.
