Ignore ignore ignore ignore ignore ... And if you get a warning letter to your home address threatening court action unless you pay up, ignore that too. When the next letter comes - as it may well do - you know what to do??? Yup, ignore that too. Not one person who's been ticketed by a private company has taken someone to court for non-payment. The explanation behind this failure to act appears to be that they're **** scared the case would be rejected, thereby causing a precedent and their entire policy of ticketing vehicle owners would collapse.

In case you're still looking, I did my CBT at Get Bike in Northfields.

An Abba stand, that's what you want for a one-person operation. I use one on my ER-6 and it's steady as a rock.

Maybe. Are you sure the "rumours" were not just yet another consultation? I seem to recall that they originally said that the offroad stuff was going back on road around October when they were intending to dumb it all down again to MCN level. So who knows... This is how Mod 1 changed on May 16, 2011: http://www.dft.gov.uk/news/stories/dsa-news-20110328 The test in the video reflects these changes. There haven't been any changes since those introduced on May 16. It's taken the DSA until November 28 to update its video. Separately, I'm sure a consultation is under way on proposals to go back to one, on-road test, rather than the current two module structure. I can't find it at the moment so could be wrong.

One difference is that the examiner doesn't walk in front of the bike holding out his clipboard for the slow ride. Instead, the pupil is asked to ride slowly by himself and stop at blue cones. I'm sure one of his minors is for not checking to his left and right ie. looking for moving traffic, when he's walking the bike out of the parking space.

There is if you want to use engine braking to lose speed.

Whatever else is going on, I'm showing my support.

Am Kind of amazed by that, am wondering how many were up in arms about the eu's recent proposed interfearance? I have to say if some of us are willing to kick ourselves in the genitalia how much harder is MAG's job gonna be in the future? Be careful what you wish for Re the European proposals, this "myth-buster" from the British Motorcyclists Federation: http://www.bmf.co.uk/pages/briefing_room.php?fullstory=1020

All very strange but if you're happy, fine.

I thought Jocks always supported 2 teams: Scotland and anyone playing England Nah, only the nationalist wing of Scots do that. There are some sensible, right-thinking ones among us.

Just got an iPad and the RWC app is very good Looking forwardcto the whole thing, despite being a Scotland fan. I work in England so I can legitimately support both nations.

Just flagging up tomorrow's World Olympic Dreams programme at 1pm on BBC One. It's presented by that well-known biker Sir Matthew Pinsent, who's also done a bit of rowing in his time. In this programme, he went off on his bike to Birmingham, Bury, Cardiff and Sheffield to see how sports clubs and schools are preparing for the Olympics. Last time I spoke to him (yes, I know I'm name-dropping) he was riding a Triumph Tiger. Programme details here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b014j7yv
