So after this cock up today was the day of my second attempt at the Module 2.

After the examiner agreed that the instructor could follow us on the test we set out after the questions and headed to my benefit on the same route that I took during my first attempt. So, basically my Module 2 was nothing more than doing exactly what I did the first time without going through a no entry sign and wrong exit on the roundabout.

Back to the test center. I parked up and got off instructor gave me a thumbs up as he rode past and then waited to be called in and I passed. Ended up with four minors as in my first test but meh everyone's human.

Back at the training location and phoned up MCE to add the full license on to the policy. "Let me just talk to my manager, one moment sir" was the response after I told them I wanted to change a couple of things beside the license "£2 something" (she didn't say something, that's just an example) as I bloody bit her arm of over the telephone to secure that change. I think this was better than passing the test.

And the living on pot noodles to upgrade bikes begins. Laughing

Winter!


That, that ghastly word. Shocked

I let my bike sit without being started for one day while it rained constantly yesterday and then the bike threw its dummy out the pram this morning. Much convincing, very hard start.

A couple of months on the tiddler as I want to gain the NCB to be able to afford to insure a bigger bike. At the moment I've seen a few ER-5's, CB 500, GS 500 and XJ6's appear on the second hand market, all 1990-2005, most appealing one currently is a 1997 XJ6 for just under £1000 see what's available and what funds I have at the time of renewal. Only aiming for a commuter that's going to last me a couple of years until A anyway.

Indeed L plates removed. The plastic on the front mud guard was cleaner than the rest of the bike, poor thing hadn't seen the light of day since being purchased.

I was impatient... MBNA credit card, interest free cash advance... Took one of them out instead of a short loan... As long as at least minimum paid monthly it remains interest free up to 3 years...

Happy shopping... The sensible advice is to try as many as you can before deciding what you want, then wait for the right one at the right price... Or... Balls to that & just go and get the first bike you can and enjoy it... Thumbs Up

That 125 will deffo be faster without the L's anyway

Well done - i wouldn't worry about what you get ... as long as you get something you fit on and like the feel of. As a new member of the 'drop your first bike club' anything shiny can wait a while.

If you buy right, a cheap first big bike should see you through winter and let you get some miles in ( cold and greasy is a good time to learn ) before the summer comes back next year and then you might want something bigger and better.

Dunno how old you are, CB500 for me (41) was 170 FC insured with no excess and unlimited mileage.

Best of luck for that.

I wouldn't worry to much in advance. The solo ride is nothing more than about 10 minutes following at most a handful of road signs into a set location, before I knew it the examiner was back in my ear giving me directions. The rest is just listening to where he's telling you to go and then being in the correct lane and position, easily said once done but with four days training you'll be fine.

Cheers! I commute in London, and will be doing the test in Plymouth. Slight difference!

Looking forward to it.
