Just home after the test. Common sense examiner with particular regard to overtaking

Feedback was good. I explained my one booboo satisfactorily and achieved Gold again.

Now I've 2 more days on the bike before my shoulder op.

In the course of the de-brief we were discussing overtaking and th examiner described the GTR as a "Martini Bike".  Any time any place any where"
