But I don't have to worry about that now. Just passed my Mod 2 at Enfield. Thought it didn't go too badly but certainly thought I got quite a few minors, turns out it was only two minors. Feeling super happy, I know there's quite a few posts about people passing their Mod2 recently but yeah big grin Thumbs Up Mr. Green Thumbs Up

Will be getting a new bike in the coming month, got my eye on the ninja 300 personally love it, just need to get this 125 sold, insurance sorted, and see if I'm in a financial position.

So excited for all this haha.

@Orennayar today was pretty clear out on the road, my test was at half past 9.

To be honest the roads in Enfield are pretty casual, mostly 30 or 40, some 20s, the independent ride was hilariously easy I followed one sign and the rest was straight ahead... I was so relaxed on the test, only the first minute was a bit nerve wracking, the examiner was a top bloke too.

Edit: also just got off the phone to my insurer (MCE) and I'm gonna have to cancel with them because they quoted me £1,700 for a ninja 300 on third party only which is appalling. Instead I'll go TPFT at £921 with another insurer.

Well done.

The day I passed I had travelled up to the test centre with the instructor and another test student.

Their bikes were parked up at the roll van 100 yards from the centre and it was when the instructor told me to bring my bike over to theirs that it sunk in I had passed. That 100 yards was my first solo ride on a 600 and I'll never forget it. Smile

I think my test was a bit earlier and we went past a school area with all the mumwagons stopping everywhere hence the congestion Mr. Green
For MCE I'm with them too, I phoned them, they quoted me at 1200 for TPFT on the xj6, I just said "oh, yeah but I've seen this insurer there quotes me 600", and they immediately dropped the price to 800, proving once again that they are absolute fraud indeed Mr. Green .

Haha believe it or not it did take quite some effort to get them off :S and the front L on my fender had some sticker bits left over which I had to scrub off for like 15 minutes after.
