Just passed my Module 2...YAY!
robocog - 13/5/10 at 01:26 PM

Yipeee!
just under 12 months from taking the CBT ...the waiting and shelling out game has come to an end

I didn't even tell Mrs Cog I was doing it...just got togged up and told her I was off for a spin on the bike :-)

Just pulled the L plates off the CG125 ...it feels naughty riding without them

Restriced to sub 33 hp bikes for the next 2 years, but that suits me just fine as the CJ360t only had 34 at the crank when new in 1976 so should be well safely below that by now

Just hoping that my licence comes back OK as I didn't photocopy it before taking the test today and hadn't realised they take it off you there and then to be updated

Regards
Rob

Congratulations!! I'd hate to think how much I've spent on lessons and retests!

Congrats and welcome to the biking fraternity!!!

I had a lovely CJ250T after I did my test. It was a yellow 1976 one with 5k from new. Wish I hadn't sold it now!

Doesn't matter - they use the manufacturer's figures. I therefore think it'll be illegal to ride without some sort of proof that it's sub 33bhp...

Managed to do it without any instructors, but had a failed Mod 1 due to locking the rear wheel so all in all it hasn't worked out too expensive as Mod 1 was only £15 IIRC

Was a bit worried about today's Mod 2 as it was the most expensive of the tests and couldn't really afford to chuck 70 odd notes away so just rode to the best of my ability with fingers crossed that I wasn't doing anything that would fail me

I did consider having a pre test lesson with the local school to make sure I was ready for it, but finances were a bit tight and I only booked the test as a last minute decision (on Monday night) so didn't really have time for the panic to set in till I was at the centre (my module 1's nearly killed me with the anxiety due to long waiting lists)

Hopefully we'll get a Summer this year :-)

Regards
Rob

Yep, well done, here's hoping for some nice biking weather this year.

Not sure you will be legal with the CJ though, its manufacturers BHP thats used.

In South Africa the day you get a learners licence (a multiple choice test) with no requirement to be able to ride you can legally start riding your ZZR 1400 until the day of your riders test some time down the line. No training or guidance needed. Go figure!!!

Yet if you pass your riders test on a bike smaller than 175 cc you are limited to riding a 125 or smaller bike. However if you pass on a bigger bike then any size is OK

Ha ha, yes, I did the test when it was one part, and the instructor stood on the corner and watched you drive round! The emergency stop was not a surprise as you could see him standing there, and the theory test amounted to two verbal questions at the end!

Congrats!

I've had my best on-the-road moments riding/racing my bikes!!!

Unless you were the examiner at our local test centre who stepped out in front of the wrong bike and broke both his legs.

Shouldn't laugh but....

Nice one Rob, might even let you have a go on the Harley now, (private road of course as more than 33hp, :-) ). Ray
