Theory test.
I did a cut-down practise test last night, just for a laugh. Some of
the questions were a bit crap. E.g. "What does a catalytic converter do?" - wtf has that got to do with being able to ride a bike safely? The best one though was "When should you check your wheel alignment". Available answers (bearing in mind it's multiple choice) were: 1. When you refit the front wheel. 2. When you refit the rear wheel. 3. When you adjust the chain. 4. Something stupid I can't remember. The correct answer in the case of 75% of my bikes is 'none of the above', which of course wasn't an option. Other correct answers could be 2, or 3, or 2 & 3, depending on the bike. There were several other suspect questions too. Don't suppose anyone's got the full set of questions in an emailable format? My curiosity has been peaked, but not enough to pay for them. -- Krusty www.MuddyStuff.co.uk Off-Road Classifieds '02 MV Senna '03 Tigtona 955i '96 Tiger '79 Fantic Hiro 250 |
