thunderpantz Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 Following on from this thread >>> http://www.themotorbikeforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=48862I've only bloody passed MOD 1 and MOD 2 this morning!!!! Got a minor for my u-turn on MOD 1; i turned as i completed my second lifesaver as opposed to doing the lifesaver then turning. And then 2 minors on MOD 2 for lane discipline and gears (found neutral instead of first) All in all, very very very happy!!Not bad considering my first time on a bike (aside from the CBT) was Sunday. Bike shopping time Quote
klingelton Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 not meant as a jibe at you, but it's frightening how little experience you really need to obtain a full motorcycle license...When i passed my test, i'd have said that i didn't have enough experience on the road on a larger capacity machine...

I'll have to agree with you. It's quite scary that sunday was my first time on a 'proper bike' and today I passed both tests. Although I suppose i've only been learning to pass the test, now is the time i start learning to ride. I also suppose a lot of it is down to road experience too. But like you said, more experience on a larger bike would of been better. Quote

Benn Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 Congrats mate Sorry to shit all over your thread, but...I hate the lack of consistency with the bike tests at the moment. By the time I've obtained my full license, I will have had to of done a minimum of two tests (very costly) and have been riding a minimum of 4 years. But if you're over 24, it takes a week to get your license. Quote
