Seems eBay has another 20% discount on offer just now in case folk missed out last time! it's now PAYDAY20 It ends tonight though.

Well done [mention]Joe[/mention]. Yeah, I agree with [mention]Smee[/mention], signalling before you pull out is better than not signalling as leave as it warns others of your intentions. The examiner would not mark you down for that.

Hi Joe, As you have already pointed out on your post, the oncoming vehicle has the right of way so the best approach would be to pull in when it is safe to do so and wait for the vehicle to pass before you move back out. I believe the examiner would take that into consideration during your test as no doubt they would be in a bike too, it's all about being safe as long as you demonstrate that, you would get marked down for hesitation. Also I would like to add whenever I'm out, a lot of the oncoming vehicles will see you a distance away and make their adjustments accordingly to either give you more room pass or drive past you slowly.

Well done [mention]Slowside[/mention]

Did that quote come with all the extras that you had with your old insurer? Legal cover etc.? If so, well in there! It is advisable to shop around during renewal season, especially once NCD is obtained for that year.

Me second that, Happy Belated Birthday [mention]rennie[/mention] too!

Yikes! I hope you're OK just now [mention]Rkel1988[/mention]

Too right! I agree, what a joke!

For those that didn't read the forum when [mention]Six30[/mention] posted, what was he trying to tell us to watch?

Yeah man, I saw that, one of the instructors in Ride On was at the test centre when I was doing my Mod1 so I was listening to him when he spoke with my instructor. I do like how friendly all the schools are to each other even though they are rival schools, they all seem to get on great. Plus the examiners are same too, they try and put you at ease before and after the Mods. The friendly banter between the instructors and the examiner is funny stuff to listen to. Also, I'm impressed man [mention]Shadow125[/mention], pass your test in May and already riding in another country!

Sorry to hear this [mention]fifthwheel[/mention], I'm sure you will get it next time! Don't give up hope!

Well done man! Knew you'll nail it this time!

Rich, how long did you have the eliminator till you ran the bike to the ground? I had it for 4 odd years and sold it to my best mate for £170 who then decided to undo all my hard work of customizing the bike and put it back to standard and got nearly £900 but it did have nearly 60k miles on the clock in those 4 years Lol, I hope you didn't give your mate those original parts too or he got you good for that sell price. That bike sure has done a lot of miles, it's impressive if it's still going!

Yikes! Then like others have said, take it easy on the ride out then. I've ridden up to 100miles in one day and I thought it was pretty heavy going, however not all of it was country road riding too, not sure how I would handle if majority of the road is NSL. Sorry for my naivety what is nsl? My bad, it is National Speed Limit, I meant country road riding for the majority of the way home.

Ride safe out there! @Rkel1988 have you ever ridden that distance before or close to it? Nope not even close i do possibly do 15 miles a day commuting. I do it regularly in a car but its obviously very different. Yikes! Then like others have said, take it easy on the ride out then.

I think Tim actually working for the AA would know whether it's safe to post on Facebook or twitter about it! Exactly , Having posted this on the works internal system it raised a lot of acknowledgement to that patrol who also managed to locate who it was and they are aware of the thanks . The guy truly is the AA hero at work now!

I'm training with BikeRite, great bunch of folk, has really taught me how to be safe out on the road. I did most my DAS training in Hamilton but taking my Mod2 in Govan,

Thanks for all the input [mention]Shadow125[/mention] I'm sitting my mod2 next week so pretty nervous!! I should hopefully be OK though. fingers cross folks. Can't figure out where the 40 road would be on that route though, hmmm.

Yes, Amazon prime is available but they won't guarantee next day delivery, its good for the movies and music though Ah, as a matter of interest, do you know if it's a two day delivery then?

I agree with [mention]rennie[/mention] on this, I'll give the guy a chance, he's going to need it!

amazon prime is available anywhere as its video on demand too, if you can get things delivered for free as part of I don't know the answer to that. Yup, interested to know about the next day delivery for IOM.

I'm actually quite interested if Amazon Prime is available on IOM. please let us know when you find out for us, [mention]manxie49[/mention]

I would have counter offered again for £169.50. Yes I did think about it but lost patience with stupid ebayers *clicks fingers*, could have been 40p richer!
