Well That's the Ol' A2 Over and Done With...

[Interspatial_Meltdown]

...that's right: I passed my A2 test at approximately 10:30am yesterday morning. Very chuffed with myself as I was quite nervous going into it but as I got going I found that I didn't really take notice of the examiner behind me.

Racked up a grand total of 3 minors which probably could've been avoided if I'd have known the speed limit. Got 2 for going too slow and the other for 'undue hesitation'. I thought that it was better to go too slow than over the limit, just is case.

Got my bike ready, passed the MOT last weekend, hoping to get insurance sorted out A.S.A.P... Bennetts quoted me about £450 for my ZXR400 so I'm just making sure that's the cheapest I can get and then I'll be well away.

Any East Anglian riders: look out for me on a road near you soon.

Well done man, ride safe!

Well done.

Bennett's probably won't be the cheapest for you, make sure you ring round. They won't budge on their prices either.

I know my bike is only a YBR125 but Bennetts were the cheapest for me by a long shot.

I spent a while with a copy of biketrader in front of the computer getting online quotes. I'm 35 and have no history of driving/riding anything, no no-claims, nothing.

Most insurers were quoting prices in the region of £290 for TPFT, Bennetts was £142.

Big difference.

if your getting high online quotes try phoning, i saved £600 doing that, with the same company

Try express insurance, they re insured my zxr400 for 295 quid today tpft with 0 ncb, but I'm an old git at 22

You have to get an online quote, then phone and tell them to beat it. Dont forget to say that bennets quoted you like 330 quid or something

PHONE THE INSURANCE COMPANIES, DO NOT USE ONLINE QUOTES AS THEY ARE BULLSHIT GEARED TOWARDS PEOPLE WHO DON'T WANT ANY HASSLE AND ARE LAZY

congrats Interspatial_Meltdown on your result.

how much did the exam cost? what did it entail? where did you do it?
