Hi Matt,
Took my test on a 100cc Suzuki borrowed from the Council (seemed not to have a neutral at all so had to hold in the clutch level when the instructor wanted me to stop
I hated that bike - especially after being used to a Honda NS125F (this is back in 1990, folks!) - didn't have any proper training either but I wanted to pass so much so I could ride the 250cc bike I already had waiting for me in the garage.....
I know it is frustrating but you will get there in the end. Monster delights await you - in plentiful supply
