bippo Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Hey guys, I'm on an absolute high at the moment - just come back from my Mod 1, and PASSED!! I can't even begin to tell you how nervous I was about this particular test. Out of the CBT, Theory and looming Mod 2, it was the Mod 1 that worried me the most. So, I can breathe a sigh of relief now, enjoy the rest of my day and focus on Mod 2! 5
bippo Posted April 30, 2013 Author Posted April 30, 2013 Well done, when is Mod 2? Thanks guys! Haven't booked Mod 2 yet, about to do that now. It'll be some time next week hopefully.
Moderator Airhead Posted April 30, 2013 Moderator Posted April 30, 2013 Well done bippo I knew you'd pass it easy , from what I've seen those L plates have overstayed their welcome and they wont be there long now
bippo Posted April 30, 2013 Author Posted April 30, 2013 Well done bippo I knew you'd pass it easy , from what I've seen those L plates have overstayed their welcome and they wont be there long now Ha ha, thanks Airhead! Hopefully next time we go for a ride I'll have a bike that's better able to keep up with your Bandit...! But failing that, I'm sure the lack of L plates will help to streamline my YBR...
slice Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Well done Bippo always nice to get a test under your belt. 1
dt502001 Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Congrats,are you window shoping for a new bike yet?what catches your eye?
bippo Posted April 30, 2013 Author Posted April 30, 2013 Congrats,are you window shoping for a new bike yet?what catches your eye? Thanks DT! Yeah I've settled on a Kawasaki ER-6f. I've gone around and sat on a few (Yammy, Suzuki etc) and this one feels the most comfortable (for me anyway). On top of that the school I'm learning with uses the naked version (ER-6n) which has given me a confident feeling about them.
sparky67 Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Well done bippo so CBT then theory when you pass the mod 1 what can you ride a 125cc still until you pass the mod 2 and that must be done within 2 years of mod1 is this correct
bippo Posted April 30, 2013 Author Posted April 30, 2013 Thanks Sparky! CBT is valid for 2 years. So if I don't pass my module 2 within two years of obtaining my CBT, I'll need to re-take things again. Same applies to the theory test which is also valid for two years. Basically, I now have two years (from when I passed my theory test, not module 1) to complete my module 2, and then I'm done. I'm old enough to go for direct access so I'm learning on a 650cc and once I pass my module 2 I won't have any restriction to my licence. Younger people have a restriction on the type of full licence they can get - quite clear information regarding that can be found here: http://www.geton.co.uk/Routes_to_Riding_January_2013. Regardless of that though, they still have to go through the whole CBT/theory/mod 1&2 route, but just with different size engines.
welshwan Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 YAY bippo!!!! happy days!!!! chuffed for ya! Unfortunately i am one of the 'younger ones' and i'm only allowed to do my A2 atm, but once that's done, just two year and then big boys test
bippo Posted April 30, 2013 Author Posted April 30, 2013 YAY bippo!!!! happy days!!!! chuffed for ya! Cheers Welshy!! It's a great feeling isn't it?! Have you got your Mod 2 sorted yet?
welshwan Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 this Friday at about 1pm!!!! got a two hour lesson on thus though hows about you?
Tommy xs Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 fantastic bips I knew you would do it, as we say in scouse-land, "am made up for yer" 1
bippo Posted April 30, 2013 Author Posted April 30, 2013 this Friday at about 1pm!!!! got a two hour lesson on thus though hows about you? Good luck! This is for your A2 licence isn't it? Due to your age? Have you got plans to buy a bigger bike, or will you stick with your 125 for a while?
bippo Posted April 30, 2013 Author Posted April 30, 2013 this Friday at about 1pm!!!! got a two hour lesson on thus though hows about you? Ahh balls, forgot to answer your question! Went to book my Mod 2 today, but the dates they had available didn't suit my work (I travel a fair bit), so I'm currently booked in for 23rd May. Pretty long wait but I'll keep an eye out for any cancellations that suit me.
