Afternoon all,
I passed my mod1 today and couldn't be happier! Who'd have thought it!
I must admit this biking lark ain't as easy as you folks make it look and certainly hasn't come naturally to me..but I got the job done 2nd time around..so I canny be that bad :)
Just got my mod2 this Friday..then ( hopefully!) I'll be one of the cool kids. .....
bring it on!! 😎
well done mate, there is a art to riding ........... and that is enjoyment ! to some it is always dificult. In time and a few miles under your belt you'll more than likly have it running through your veins.
well done again and good luck for friday

Cheers 8 Ball, I'm sure once I'm out on the road without an instructor things will fall into place.. In hindsight maybe I should have got a 125 for a bit after my cbt. ..but I'm committed now and my eyes are on the prize! 😨

I failed my mod 1 the first time for not going fast enough on the swerve test. Failed by 1kmh. Passed second time and breezed mod 2.
Congrats on your pass and good luck for Friday

Thanks mate..weather's looking of for it this time :-)
well done on the pass, I proper s4it myself on the mod1, mod2, however was one of the best rides I have ever been on, so relaxed, just like a bimble with a mate. I loved it, the ride back from Trowvegas to Chippers, from a 500cc to my 125, however, I did not like one bit, and I sold it a week later.
Best of luck for tomorrow :)

Well done a great achievement. Almost anyone can drive a car but not everyone can ride a bike. Keep it shiny side up or in your case weathered side up.
