Oh Brad...

Oh, yes, life's pretty cheap for that sort...

Learning to ride a motorbike is very hard.

Or perhaps it is because I have absolutely no aptitude? All I can see is lorries trying to kill me, pedestrians trying to trick me and cars driving in a generally random manner. All I can hear is the instructor saying:

"Indicator off, we are three miles past the junction now."
"What, no lifesaver?"
"Don't drop the clutch like that, you owe me a new gearbox"
"Check left, no left, that's right, that van was going to come up your inside"
"If this was a test, that mistake would be a fail"
"Where are you, please come back"
"That's it, I'm calling the police."
"So, you really do need to learn to ride a bike then. You can't like walk everywhere or take the bus then?"

Ah well, only three days to go...
