No it's DAS. And OMG! I always thought it was 6 months! Still pissed off.

CRYING LIKE A BABY! I just want to do my damn Mod2 test! At this rate, i'll have to stump even more damn money and retake(Which it the bit i'm more pissed about) the Mod1 which is utter bullshit! 3 times booked on for Mod2, 3 times (so far) cancelled because of the constant Government decisions AND they're not even extending the time to take between Mod1 and Mod2! I'll have lost 3 months on the 9th of Jan. And if the restrictions don't finish before 20th Jan, i'll have lost another test date, and be on my way to 4 months lost out of the 6 months to take the Mod2 after Mod1. F**K YOU GOVERNMENT w**kers AND COVID. /rant over. Sort of. Had to get it out I am SO unbelievably pissed off. Prob no sense made, hard to read. Don't care. And yes I know there are worse things happening and other people in worse situations etc etc bast*rds. /rant over. And a Happy New Year, everyone!

Wait, what... people PAY for that!?! Not bad getting Virgin down in price, I tried when we tried having it in Manchester but no luck. I miss VM so much. SO fast, and never went down. Ever. I was lucky I never had to deal with their customer service. They do take the piss, but i've known people who manage to always keep the price mega low. Apparently just letting the one year run out. Cancel. Then resign up. Every year. Have to push them a bit, but works apparently. I've never had Sky or any extra TV stuff, never watch TV so would be pointless. Netflix is enough for me.

"Spaces are dangerous - danger means injury - injuries hurt." Think we're all buggered then.

Thats nice.

Congrats @fastbob !

Conratulations @raesewell! proepr twat.

Rebel 1100 out soon? That would be A. But obviously isn't RIGHT NOW.

It says you also have to be under professional tuition aswell. So you can't ride your bike TO the test without an instructor anyway. But not being insured to ride home if you don't pass I wouldn't have thought would be a problem? As if you don't pass you don't ride home anyway... I always thought if you fail a test you shouldn't drive/ride yourself home (I never did when I failed driving test). Safety thing due to not passing... ? Going with a school really is the simplest fastest way to do all of this.

Am I thick? Missing something here? This Sunday is 10 Months ish earlier than stated? Was hoping to get a chance to submit some once I had a bike, if it was Nov 2021

Ahhh, the first ride. I remember well. Riding from Peterlee to Cramlington in an absolute downpour after picking up the brand new ickle 125cc bike. Cacking myself, purely because of just how much rain there was. It was fun though, enjoyed it. And the nikwax worked, I was bone dry under my non-waterproof (other than the nikwax coating) gear.

Ahhh this is hard, so much twat. I look at all the twat, and think - which to pick?! I've eaten a whole bag of celebrations. I'm going to nominate Stu! ;} Lets live dangerously. WTF has he done to this forum!? Y SO MODERN!? and bubbly. and complicated. So WOKE STU. Tried and failed (I believe?) to induce a mass flounce. Nevermind the fact I actually like it, and like many contributed a (tiny) bit to the pot for the change. But still, twat.

Congrats on the pass. What is the bike you've got after passing? Didn't see it mentioned other than Sports Tourer or I am blind. When I did my Mod1 at Gateshead, the other guy from same school as I, i'm pretty sure he had the older grumpy gentleman for his assessment. Didn't take much notice, but the assessor just had a very stern face, with no reaction to the banter from any of the schools instructors. Haha, not sure if getting him would make me more or less nervous when the time comes for my Mod1. Just can't wait. Already saving for the new Rebel.

If you've ridden bikes before you'll likely fly through. As all the experience comes flooding back. Even I passed the Mod1 first time. With one minor being a bit fast on the hazard avoidance (69kmh ). Awaiting my date for Mod2.

Does it count if you buy yourself an early Christmas pressie because you know noone else will get it for you? Nice on the MacBook It should last a long, long time. But Santa is gonna spank you when he visits you sleeping..

fastbob tryin' to get used to new forum? (Although I do realise he uses mobile;])

Wasn't there a post on this forum listing a collection of loads of PDF's of manuals of various bikes/models/etc? Be they uploaded ones or links, I can't remember. ;/ I thought I had it saved in favourites but can't find it.

Not sure if it has been mentioned again or anything looked at... Locations under name as before? Or at least on the hover over-popup Is that going to be possible? I'm weird, I like to know that sort of thing.

Great review! But what do they do to my bike? How do they make it better? I will now try to purchase these two mods. Where can I find them? SBS? I heard there were other mod' that were really underated and they make your bike look sexy af! Search up @Six30 and @XTreme.

I haven't seen them, could you post them all here @dynax?

Alrighty, i'll get it when its available. I don't use mobile really so not in any hurry haha.

I do like that if I have a topic open in my browser, as soon as someone replies a little pop up shows saying '#name# (Usually Stu) has made a reply' or somesuch. Neat. But I am on PC, not mobile, no idea if it is different on mobile. @Stu, @XTreme , is the mobile app called Invision Community or is that for something else?

Someone will have a little bumble next and @XTreme will lose his mind. God forbid anyone has a bimble bumble.

Really? Being NCL area, I am assuming you went Gateshead centre? I did my MOD1 late Oct (month ago) and there were loads of people. 4 diff schools. Each one had 4 people. 3 Examiners (that I saw), office people. The examiners were strict with themselves/people who interacted with them (mask on, keep 6 ft away etc). But the rest of us were just milling about like normal. All the masks make it all very hard for someone who relies on lip reading 99.9% of the time. I guess it is just extremely busy because of all the backlog. Now I have to wait again, mod2 was meant to be yesterday.

And Scotland are still doing them. Such a pain in the arse.
