FAILED my first motorbike test ride. But Why?

Hi everybody.
After months of preparation, today I had my first motorbike test ride today to get my A drivers licence. I did everything fine from the slaloms, to emergency brake etc. than we went out for a ride over Uetliberg and back where I failed due to following reasons.

1. During turns, although I checked my mirrors, I did not look over my shoulders one last time before turning. The instructor warned me to do so in the begining and although I looked over my shoulders in the remaining part of the ride, he said "i should have done it from the begining".

2. We rode through a small town on a 30 road. He said that I was using too low gears!! Well, I kept my bike on 1st gear on a 30Road! Whats the problem with this?? I have a 135PS bike that goes 120km/h in first gear!! He said that in general i should use higher gears to avoid pollution and to remain at relatively noise level through the villages!!

God!! I totally find all this ridiculous!!
Anyway, for those of you to get a motorbike test ride soon, review these points above before you get there!

Actually, think like a "Swiss"!. Ride under extreme caution, never smile, always watch out for lane lines, metal surfaces, trams, bloody town CYCLISTS curising around with their business suits and an umbrella on their right hand! If you have a bike that runs 14k RPM, never go above 2k RPM! Remember! Never wake sleeping swiss and pollute their environment!!

Basicaly, if you are biker, you dont belong the road!!
So it is time for me to go sell my beautiful Triumph Speed Triple
and get a stupid KICKBOARD and push my self around the city, with my business suit, a stupid kindergarden look backpack, an oversized helmet and wearing a "Too homo for a real motorbike" Tshirt!
