Mod 2 in a couple of weeks....

[Phil1]

Did my mod 2 on the schools pan European after never riding it before .

I'd done all my lessons on a cb500, and my first test (which I failed miserably) on that too, but they'd changed the rules after that and it had to be a minimum 600 (I think). They were waiting for a Suzuki gladius but it didn't turn up in time so I got told I could cancel/change the test or have a go on the pan European. Passed.

They're all the same once your moving, probably easier in some ways as there's less gear shifting to do. Shoving them round from one bay to another in the mod 1 is a bit different though!

Congratulations on the pass, but when you start looking for insurance, do check the BMW insurance as it was a lot cheaper for the first couple of years when I got my license and went from a 125cc I'd bought to get more experience, straight onto an R1200GS after finding one at the right price when I went to look at an F650GS.

17th is the big day - thanks for the preemptive manifestation though! I hadn’t thought of BMW insurance - will check them out. Stu

Just had a look at BMW's own insurance myself and was pleasantly surprised. I think the other quotes I'd had were in the region of £500+ and with a ridiculous £800+ excess. BMW underwritten by aegis was £450.

Mod 2 passed a couple of days ago. Heading south today to finalise/collect Harvey’s twin cam that was for sale here a month or so ago. Looking forward to my first adventure, riding it back!

Congratulations, its a great feeling.
I remember trading my 125 in for a 600cc big boys bike and i was grinning inside my helmet all day my face ached lol

Thanks Barnoe. I rode the school’s Ducati Scrambler back from the test centre unaccompanied. Which was nice! Reminded me of passing my car test when 17….

Well done, what a great feeling for you.

Well done on passing your test. Consider getting yourself lined up with some advanced training, IAM/RoSPA or something with a local trainer.

Re ABS, 100 pc yes please if available on road.

Don’t listen to the dinosaurs spouting bollocks about ‘in my day’ etc etc.

Well done on your test, you’ve just opened up a massive window of opportunity

Good result with the test , I’m in Fife not far from Knockhill and have a run out to Crieff pretty regularly either on the way to the Green welly or loop round to Callander, what colour is the gs?
