I read that earlier fingers crossed.

Didn't realise that I just thought it would have been the same as driving without a valid licence.

Saw this interesting video about the legality of riding without CBT due to not being able to renew. Interestingly enough in some of the comments it send some insurance companies are saying you would still be covered if CBT expires ?

Finishing my full licence !!

Theory doesn't run out until Feb 2022 CBT end of April this year.

Just had confirmation from my training school. Mod 1 is valid for the duration of your theory not your CBT so you don't loose mod 1 pass until theory runs out.

Woah hang on. So my theory expires as well with my CBT !?!?! I'm really confused now. partly fault because of life getting in the way I didn't even sit on a bike for a year after I passed my CBT. Obviously I could not have foreseen covid coming and the issues it would bring.

Oh shit so if I don't pass my mod 2 before my CBT runs out I've got to do my CBT and mod 1 again !! FFS that'll be about another £300 quid. At this point I'm really kicking myself. The amount of money I've spent I should have just bought a 125 and knocked about on it until this had all calmed down , I've investedted so much money now I can't just say f**k it and buy a 125.....hard lesson learned

Found out !

Hi all, Due to covid and other issues my full licence training has become drawn out and fragmented. I'm becoming concerned that I may not get round to passing mod 1 and mod 2 before my CBT runs out. If you pass mod 1 do you still need a current CBT to take mod 2 ? Cheers.

Similar situation I won't go I to detail but booked das for march this year and due to various issues 90 percent covid related, didn't get to do my mod 1 until beginning of December in the few days leading up to my mod one my test center had to be changed 3 times . I failed and was booked to re do in January which looks like will probably not happen. I reckon by the time I pass it would have taken a year to do.

If you watch the Motors for the Masses channel on YouTube they review mostly 125's some really nice looking bikes out or coming out. https://youtube.com/channel/UCiC0TxSkOwUyspNUfwR8yzw Also This looks good. https://youtu.be/3mjfGI0-mlw

Yep that's definitely it. The thing is I've nailed the slalom and 8 dozens of times....at the end of one session my instructor said about the u turn "once you are moving you are literally just doing a quarter of a figure 8 and you can do that easily". Next test in a month so plenty of time to get practice in.

I'll check it out. Annoying thing is I was doing u turns ok literally at end of training at 5pm last night but lostbit today. As I said I don't think I got back in the right headspace after I heard the cone go .

Went to Gillingham test centre today. Really nice examiner , actually wasn't overly nervous. Went in did manual handling , set off to do slalom as I'd done successfully dozens of times before and clipped second cone. Head is now all over the place confidence shot managed to get round figure of 8 and onto my nemisis the u turn I think because of where my head was at I'd already convinced myself I couldn't do it so as a concequence I did foot went down. Test stopped as 2 serious rider errors. Funnily enough I wasn't that bothered. Sure next time be ok. Guy who was with me was on his 5th mod and he passed he was so happy it cheered me up.

Onwards and upwards !

Well done..in other news I failed my Mod 1 today

Good luck tomorrow

Definitely iffy. I'm only doing my mod1 in December so all in the yard training. So hopefully won't be too bad.

Email from the training company this morning, England have closed the testing centre's..... It's not like we're sitting in the same car or anything They are now looking to reschedule as per their current schedule. So those booked on the 5th will get first, I should be in the second or third batch. Fish Not heard from mine yet ....but poop Just got it....mod 1 test re booked for 10th Dec. ,

Yes they contacted me today apparently test centers are open in Scotland but closed in Wales they are waiting confirmation if what is happening in England.

(Big sigh). It was my 50th birthday this year in May so my plan was to do my das and treat myself to a bike for my birthday. Booked for March then lockdown Eventually got rebooked for August when they re opened on second day lost my wallet with my licence in so had to stop training and give up my test dates Anyway managed to rebook for (yes you guessed it) last week in November so now most probably cancelled again Ever feel like something was not meant to be

Did they say you could'nt record ? There are a few guys on YouTube who recorded thier mod 2 tests?

I failed my first CBT due to poor clutch control pretty much stalled it every time I went to pull away and to be honest I had got myself wound up and that made it worse. School said to come back in a couple of days. I paid £50 and was taken round the paddock course once and I was fine it clicked and I felt calm, went out on a 30 minute road ride and the guy said I looked really good and got signed off. I know it easy to say do t feel bad but I did as on the original day the other 5 guys passed easily so I felt pretty shit but after a couple of days of feeling sorry for myself I went back and the rest is history now slowly doing my full licence.
