Mod 2 ...........

[rob_scott92]

Passed!
3 Minors, not too sure what for. Didn't stop to find out, i'm just glad to have that out the way

Just been frantically trying to sort out insurance on the 350 but it'll need taxing too so its not happening tonight

All in all, i'm well pleased!

Well done mate, did you do it at chester?

[rob_scott92]

Yeah i did, this would've been the decider. If i hadn't of passed i would have PM'd you for that school in wallasey

You going for yours anytime soon? Cant remember if you said you'd done mod1 yet or not.

Just sorted out insurance too, £335.93 TPFT. Near enought exactly £100 less than my 125 on provisional

Ahhhhhh, its been a good day

Done my mod 1 - got the mod 2 on the 27th of this month in St Helens

I know you shouldn't be able to but i'd tell the insurance to fax you something like a covering letter and then try and tax it with that. Some may say no but theres a young lad in the liscard post office who taxes things when he shouldn't

What bike is it you've got again?

[rob_scott92]

[ian789]

How much did you pay for it if you don't mind me asking

It's nice and god them pipes are shiny. You'll have to watch you don't glare people when your riding along

[rob_scott92]

£360 i paid, absolute bargain! i started a couple of threads about it before i bought it. Last minute bid on ebay, was cacking myself!
Could do with a respray perhaps but its still a good bike for the money

[ian789]

I'm going to wait until i pass

If i find a bike for 360 i'll be over the moon. Do you think it is best to just keep looking on ebay? Feel free to show me if you see a bargin around.

Other than that probably a ER-5 or CB500, they seem to go for around a grand.

[rob_scott92]

Well yeah depends on how much you want to spend really. It was just mere coinsidence that i bought both my bikes off ebay lol
But i got to the point where i was checking it everyday! If someone posted one up and you were to e-mail them straight away, they may be more inclined to end the auction early. If they've got bidders on already that could complicate things, i've been on the receiving end of cancelled biddings before, and its not fun!

I assume you'll be wanting restrictors with a bike aswell? I found that a bugger when searching for bikes so watch out

ENJOY!

Motorcycles are perfectly safe as long as you remember they're dangerous.

if like me you are tall and fancy keeping your bollox in serviceable condition do not get an er-5... my god ive never had aches and pains like it! did two days training on them, ball pain ftl! get the cb500 a much much better bike if you can find one.

[rob_scott92]

Or, get a cb350. I've found the height perfect for me and I'm 6ft 4!

i went for a fazer fzs 600, perfect roomy bike. 95hp, r1 brakes naked engine.... lovely. well done on passing by the way!

[rob_scott92]

Haha thanks, I've been riding the 350 for nearly a week now and my god it is soooooo much better than a 125! It's a nice feeling to be overtaking for a change and not getting stuck behind lorries/vans/other annoying vehicles
My uncle went with me on my first ride, so we decided it'd be good to go on the motorway, not sure about going alone yet (especially during rush hour) but I am starting to get used to being able to make it up to 70 with next to no effort

[UnspeedySam]

Just spotted this thread. Congrats! I've been looking (a little obsessively) at bikes that are 33bhp legal without all that restriction rubbish. I'd mostly been looking at the Honda Bros 400 and the Kawasaki GPZ305 but this is another one I can add to my list.
