How long 'till you retake?.... 'cos when you get your cbr you *are* going to spend 75% of your time riding it :) .... doesn't leave much for revising.

And hey... beggars in London do quite well now-a-days, should get you your petrol money anyway :lol:

Don't worry about AS's goose- nearly everyone I know retook(is that a word?) them and did loads better second time. By the retake you've seen the A2 module's and the AS's seem easy.

I'm doing A2's (first one's in about a week)- can't wait to get them over with.

By the way- does anyone know the laws for riding bikes abroad, particularly in the USA?

With any luck, they'll be bored of writing new questions, so you should recognise some on the next paper!

GOOD LUCK WITH IT!

Fantastic news about the bike...Heeeee - are you all excited? (Stupid question I know.....), and if the worst comes to the worst and you have no degree (which I seriously doubt) you can always work as a motorcycle rider...join the pigs (!?), deliver pizzas - anything as long as you're riding!
Heres one from me

Well,...(i know some of you lot will shout at me for doing so[mole]) ...but i did go to Boxhill garage in the end! Confused

they had exactly what i wanted, and couldnt be arsed to wait any longer into the summer for a decent 400 to come up for sale privately.

I'm too impatient!!

Anyway, its a 1995 m-reg cbr, done 10000km
and getting the dream machine paint work in yellow/purple colours.
and yes, i paid over the odds,

but with the high mileage that i do, a 1yrs waaranty always comes in handy on a 7yr old bike!! Smile

And if theyre gunna give me £2000 for my nsr, i'm not complaining!!
(in biketrader this week, the private sales are mostly going for only around £2300 anyway!)

anyway, pick up date is on 14th June. (hopefully) I gunna skive work to go and get it!!
...as long as i dont crash me nsr in the meantime!!

Hi Again V,

Nice one, I'm glad your pleased. They are a nice bike and I know
what you mean about getting a warantee etc. You should be safe
as houses from Box Hill motocycles, they loaned an NC35 to one
of the journalists on Bike mag for him to take over to the Isle of Man
for him to do a tour of the race circuits.

This Monday on Eurosport, they are covering the 400 class in the TT
so you should see some CB400's, NC30/35's etc.

If you are collecting it on the 14th, gis a call and I will meet you up
there for a coffee etc. Might even be able to take a picci of the bike,
you never know it could be posted on here B4 you get Home Laughing

Ave a good weekend

Mole
