Chuffed, as you can imagine. Went Direct Access route using Camrider in Harlow who have be excellent, really enjoyed the training. Even got a congratulations e-mail 5 mins after passed from them Thumbs Up

Was more nervous on my MOD 1 even though I was more confident. Thanks for the tips from here just took it as a normal ride with a different voice in my ear. Time went really quickly, at one point I thought we can't be heading back now (got a bit worried as the test centre got closer) but all was good Mr. Green

Not sure on a bike as yet, no rush, gonna take me time and hopefully go out for a few test ride, should be fun.

Tis a great feeling.

Well done old chap.

As for not rushing to buy a bike, I'm pretty much the same. I've still not decided what I want exactly but I am narrowing it down.

I got my licence back today so it took less than 2 weeks. Not that anyone asked Very Happy

Congrats mate.


No rush to buy a new bike, I was still pottering around on my CG125 for 6 months until I bought a bigger bike. Laughing

Many congratulations on the pass. Everyone told me the Mod 1 was the difficult part but that wasn't my own experience !

Take your time and get the right bike for you - and don't forget to update us all when you have !

Best of luck to you !

Thanks guys, still sitting around with a constant grin on my face lol. Is this normal?? lol

I think if it was the other end of the winter I'd be more impatient to get something so prolly a good thing as I can spend a bit of time and find something which will be right for the next "x" years (hopefully). Made the mistake of buying a new 125 thinking that'll do me, how wrong can you be...Still live and learn Smile Still not taken my L plates of yet either.

Cheers guys Thumbs Up

Very well done on the pass. I passed in August and I'm still using my 125 - though the L Plates came off as soon as I got home! Sticking with this until FEB for my one years no claims, then on to a 400 I think!

Congratulations again.

It's a good time of year to be buying as the summer riders pack their toys away for winter or decide to sell up (at slightly lower prices) as the riding season winds down.
Congrats on being a Big Boy biker.

Now the learning really begins .............. Smile


I agree totally and will be looking for something new, pretty sure prices will work to my advantage in Jan / Feb but on the flip side I have a bike to sell / trade also so swings and roundabouts really. Sure it will be fun anyway Mr. Green

Cheers
