The Test

Today was my chance to finally go for my riders test, in the hopes of not needing to redo my learners every two years. I passed thanks my little red Honda. I had to redo one of the exercises because I was too fast! The little Honda did everything perfectly with ample power to get me through easily. I'm sure fuel consumption will go up a little with all the stop start  shutdown and startup again riding but at least that's behind me now. Also worth noting is the fan didn't even need to come on so it's been another great day with my CRF250L.

The little fan

I recently went for a riding lesson as part of my preparations to take my license test and with all the slow riding with stopping and starting the little Honda's fan came on twice. I haven't actually had a bike with a fan before so it was a little strange for me but she performed perfectly well and continued like she's supposed to. Fuel consumption doesn't seem to have been affected by the slow riding, it was 3.6L/100km on the last tank. It's winter over here currently and the fuel injection has been great, the bike starts first time and not having to deal with a choke has been great, I'm really enjoying this bike.
