Hi I passed my test Nov 07.
I struggled with the "U" turn. I had,nt ridden a bike in 20 odd years so I had to do the C,B,T and then did a DAS I would say practice the "U" turn on a heavy bike if you can, and watch your possioning on the road thats what I got miners for!
Other than that all I can say is dont try and do every thing in slow mossion they are looking for you to be making progress but NOT TAKE THE P*SS!!
So GOOD LUCK the XT is a lot of fun
