Walkersway Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 Well after a visit to the NEC motorcycle show last year I decided to finally get my full licence.Apart from a quick 5min try on a 125 14 years ago I have never ridden a bike.Did my CBT and DAS early December, and added a 2 hour lesson December 31st as MOD1 was not until Jan 6th. Passed MOD1 Friday and Mod2 today. What I found great was the school booked out the test centre so we could practice before the MOD1 test. So by the time of the test I already had several practice runs.Hope to see you all around on the roads soon Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote
Lateralus Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 Congrats! What're you looking at getting then? I hear that green Kawasaki's are not the only option! Quote
Walkersway Posted January 11, 2017 Author Posted January 11, 2017 Thanks all. Going for the Vulcan s. Not decided on the colour yet.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote
Lateralus Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 Nice! Only just passed myself and getting a commuter, but would be interested in seeing what a cruiser is like in comparison. Can you recommend a colour Hoggs? Quote
ThePhatomfart Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 Well done, and here's a Owners Manual for you to look at.https://www.dropbox.com/s/zx7ps9o90bcssv1/Kawasaki%20vulcan_s_owners_manu.pdf?dl=1 Quote
Hoggs Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 Thanks all. Going for the Vulcan s. Not decided on the colour yet. Can you recommend a colour Hoggs? I don't think they come in green Actually checking the Kwak website they seem to only come in grey. But I have seen a purple one which was coolOH the purple was a 2015 colourhttp://storage.kawasaki.eu/public/kawasaki.co.uk/en-UK/model/15EN650B_44SPURDRF3CG_C_001.pngThe 2017 colours are all a but meh. Grey on the standard one... OH there is a "cafe" version which does have some green on http://storage.kawasaki.eu/public/kawasaki.eu/en-EU/model/17EN650E_44SWT1DRF2CG_C_003.pngbut personally I prefer the Special Edition schemehttp://storage.kawasaki.eu/public/kawasaki.eu/en-EU/model/17EN650D_44SGY2DRF2CG_C_001.pngAaaaaaaaaaand there goes the rest of the day as I drool over bikes Was gutted the W800 wasn't very good - really wanted to like it OH I just found the 2016 Special colour scheme. New favourite http://storage.kawasaki.eu/public/kawasaki.eu/en-EU/model/16EN650B_44SMGY3DRF00D_C_005.pngTHIS IS THE HOGGS RECOMMENDED COLOUR SCHEME Quote
Westbeef Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 Nice one mate! What school did you use? You're local to me and I'm doing mine soon so recommendations are welcome . Quote

Bhawk Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 congratulations, well done on passing, now comes the fun part! Quote
Walkersway Posted January 29, 2017 Author Posted January 29, 2017 I used Karmenz in Northampton next to billing and they were great. The fact we had actual access to the off road test circuit a couple of hours before taking mod 1 was the reason I went with them and glad I did.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote
