So 5 weeks ago I decided I would like a 50cc moped to get to work. I go out and buy a 100cc instead and have to do the cbt.
I pass the cbt and less than a week later had changed from scooter to cbf 125.
Tonight I saw a triumph and It pains me to say it but I just have to get one.
Sooooo I now have the theory test booked for the 15th next month and hope to have the full test done before the start of next year.
If it starts to look like its working I feel a bike would be a good xmas gift to myself.

If you love bikes and can make peace with the fact that if you do high mileage it will inevitably cost more to keep a big bike running than it would a car, then getting your full bike license will be the gift that keeps on giving, cheesy as it is to phrase it like that. Pass your tests, get a nice bike in the 400-600cc range, see how you like that, then if you have the bug you might find yourself going to a thou and beyond... it'll be a fun journey, that's for certain.

Oh, and as there are folks who consider biking a seasonal thing, availability of MOD test slots should be going way up right around now. You won't be jumping through hoops and waiting for cancellation slots to open up like I did, I'm guessing.

Buy a Fireblade or anal beads, it's really your choice.

Yes, you are doing it right.
