Overland driving hours declared as training hours????!

Hello, I’m currently driving the A25 driver’s license and already had some training hours on the course (basic driving tasks). Yesterday I was allowed to go on the road for the first time. We drove “overland” all the time. After the driving lesson was over my instructor then entered in my lessonbook an “exercise hour”. I asked him why that was so and he replied to me… that this was first to get used to the handling of the motorcycle in road traffic and that I should also be a little faster on the road during a real cross-country driving lesson. To your information: I have always driven 50 km/h in the inner city and mostly so between 70 – 80 km/h – for the first time on the road I don’t find that sooo bad at all. My question would be now what your experiences are this way? Did you also have training lessons “over land”? Thanks for your answers VG, mopane
