I booked my Mod one before id done my Theory. You just need to be able to give the DSA ur theory pass number 3 days before u take ur mod one.

Its black with oxford heated grips and a decent size back box which just snapes on and off. The heated grips are just awesome in the cold!

If I pass my test next Tuesday ill be selling my Sym XS 125 with 2 years warrenty on it. I hope to get 750/800 for it if poss. I may be dreaming but it was 1500 12 months ago. It never lets me down and I'm certainly no racer.

They told my that the reason for ending the test was cause of a grove in the tarmac but they didnt turn around ppl who where going after me. I think the cancled it on me so that they could catch up time wize! When I got home I called the bike school an they did tell me that they wouldn't charge me for the day and I've booked my mod1 and 2 for next Tuesday. Just hope I dont fail mod one or ill loose £70. Going to ring the test centre tomorrow and see if they will allow me a l8 cancalation (my spelling sucks, srry about that) if I do fail part one.

Well I wasn't as nervous as I thought id be when I got to the test centre, was doing all the moves on a quiet road near the test center with no issue. I was with a young lady who had her test just before mine. She did all her test with no issue and looked like a sure pass and then came the emergancy stop! She was going easy 35mph when the examiner put his hand up and she locked up the front wheel and well u can imagine what happened next. I felt for her big time, it was a nasty crash in my eyes and she didnt move an inch till the ambulance arrived. Well to cut a long story short they cancled my test and sent me on my way. Main thing is she was going to be okay. From the reports shes broken her leg and her wrist in the crash so I have nothing to complain about! Well next time!

Thanks for the comments, ill post tomorrow hopefully with a big smile!

New to the forum and getting very very nervous about my modual one tomorrow. I have been riding on a Sym XS125 for about 6 months and tbh can't get enough of it. I make the wife drive the car even when I'm in it as I just don't do cars anymore. Took my theory last week and thank god thats out of the way. Had one days training on a Kawasaki ER5, looked forward to this for ages but now ive experianced it my 125 just isnt the same. I was amazed how much easier it was to ride a bigger bike. The wind didn't effect the bike anywhere near as much and I didn't feel like I was fighting with the bike while riding. Well lucky for me they took us to the test centre where I will take my test tomorrow and allowed me to do a mock. I had no experiance driving this bike at slow speed yet found no problem with the figure of 8, U turn or slow speed excerice. On attempting the Swerve and emergancy stop I thought I was going warp 1 but I was told I hit 49kph If I failed my test to that id be mad! Well just thought id make a post instead of just reading them, settle the nerves a little.
