Not not the IVA!!

Passed my module 2 today in the pouring rain! I was 100% certain I had failed as I put my right foot down at a junction and got my PSM muddled up countless times so was astounded when I got back and he said I had passed with no minors!

Got a few things to do on the ZX6R over the next month or so whilst I save up for my gear/helmet/tax/insurance etc so expect to see me on the ride whenever we get a dry day!!

Im off now to thaw/dry out

Shaun

Well done mate . especially in this orrible weather.

congrats on the pass

what ZX6R have you got? i stared out on a J2 model, it served me well for 4 years now have the 09 model

Ive got a 1998 F3 - an old banger really but its only done 15k and looks like its been looked after! I am expecting to come off it at some point so Id rather leave the expensive stuff till a few year down the line!

Cheers

Shaun

na you won't come off if you are sensible and give the bike respect!
the first two years i rode through the winter which i think made me a better rider, but god did the -5 mornings hurt!

Hurrah... ride safe!

Well done, I remember it was horsing down when I did my part 1 (as it was then) and snowing on the part two, the examiner hid in a shop doorway for the duration of the test!

Happy days

Well done Shaun

you,ll be willing the nice days to come

if you do ride during winter, just ride smoothly & you,ll be fine

Can,t believe I used to do the "Plum Pudding Races" at Mallory Park on Boxing Day must,ve been mad

Welcome to 2 wheels,

cheers
andy

Congrats

Congratulations!

Congrats! Another biker into the fold!

Take it easy this time of year, leaves, mud, drain covers and water are fookin' slippery on a bike. 600's are very quick in comparison to the 500 you'll have learnt on too.

Save up for the absolute best gear you can afford. I recommend Hein Gericke goretex textiles for winter riding as leathers arent generally waterproof or as warm. Then get some leathers next summer if thats what you want.

congats Shaun!! As some of the others have said, be careful if you are out at this time of the year.

ride safe and stay shiny side up!

Job well done, Shaun! Give us a yell if you're riding out between the Peak, Wales & N. Yorks.

You thinking about attending a Bikesafe session? I'm considering one before next spring - hopefully to tidy up my riding and get some more road-reading experience. Anything that keeps the rubber side down and reduces the insurance premiums!

well done!,

how hard was it im looking at doing mine and getting a bike next year whats a rough cost of it

thanks

Thanks for the replies!

CBT was £95

Theory was £32

Mod 1 + 2 + 2 1/2 days for training was £500 - I had a free retest included in this too - not that I needed it.

All the prices included clothing/helmet and use of the bike.

Shaun

I struggled on my CBT more than the other test as it was the first time i had been on a bike!

Other than that it was quite easy as I already new the rules of the road, it was just a case of getting into the metality of a biker I had to overcome.
