Looking to hire a van & driver to take me and my bike (er6f) from St Helens to Wakefield and back on 19th of May for my mod 1 test. Time of test is 2:10pm.

Putting this out on here first to see if any fancies the job, before sorting it out elsewhere.

If anyone wants the job either post in here or PM me.

Thanks. Thumbs Up

Dave.

Why do you need a van? If the bike is insured which it will have to be for the test anyone with insurance that lets them ride others bikes could ride it with you pillion.

Duh, I never thought of that.

So yes, as Chris pointed out, if anyone wants to take me pillion, that's cool too. Thumbs Up

Bike is taxed and insured, just to clarify.

Beer tokens will be given.

Wakefield is very near me, but St Helens sadly is not.

Surprising you have to go so far, specially with Manchester and Liverpool right there. Are there no local test centres?? Just curious.

Yes, but their dates are a long way off (end of July/beginning of August.)

Need to get licenced up ASAP for work commuting and fun of course.

It's very busy at present. You couldn't even book anything last week, as it just came up as no dares available. Now though, you can book for the end of July beginning of August.

I hav, however, managed to grab a cancellation slot for mod 2 at the start of june.

Duh, messed up the U turn this time.

Also, as a point of interest, the examiner said he would have failed me for going too wide on the figure of 8. This is somewhat surprising because, as far as I was aware and have been told by my instructor, you can go as wide as you like, as long as you do the figure of 8 through the cones. Confused

Oh well, third times the charm.

I must add a big thanks to CaNsA too, for taking me all the way to Wakefield and back in the Pissing down rain. He really is a nice guy. Thumbs Up

The last thing i said to you was "Don't fuck it up"

You had 1 job Dave, 1.

Wink

My scrotum was splashing about in a puddle of rain water that had collected in my crotch by the time i got home.

Yep, going to keep doing it until I pass. Hopefully, that'll be next time as it's getting embarrassing now. Embarassed

The annoying thing is that when I practiced mod 1 with my instructor, we went through the manoeuvres over and over and I aced every one from first time onwards. Mad
