benji106 - 25/11/05 at 05:12 PM

pretty chuffed, passed my bike test this morning, it was bloody freezing. only got 3 minors which I thought was pretty good. 2 years to unrestricted biking! how did the driving test go this morning Daz?

Congrats

You have to wait 2 years before you can ride unrestricted bikes now ? Is it 'cos of age or what ?

Sounds rough

Well done!! Be careful out there though, especially this time of year!!

You have to wait 2 yrs if you are under 21 when you take your test. Once you hit 21 you can take the advanced test, or just wait. If you are 21 when you take your test you can do direct access....

That's a bit unfair..

When I passed mine there was CBT then the Test itself, then you could go kill yerself on any bike of any size

Almost did too, more than once......

i just left mine restricted for a couple of months than derestricted it myself, restriction kits are an absolute rip off.

Well done Benji have you got a bike yet ? I would recomend a CBR400rr to start you off thats what i had.
I never got round to getting it restricted was just going to say it was if i got stopped.

Be very carful for the first couple of mounths .

Cheers Drew

Yep - rode and did my test on the 125. Then sold that and bought a ZX7R.
Sold that and bought the Fury

IIRc, the Aprilia 250s are more than 33bhp, though?

guy a blade and get it restricted

a bike trackday is undoubtedly the way to get to grips with it safely. Id love to do one, but cant be bothered doing a test as i never intend to ride a bike on the roads.

benji106 - 25/11/05 at 07:34 PM

yeh, Im only 17, so by the time the restriction runs out ill be 19, i have a 125 at the moment, been riding that since february when i turned 17, before that i had a 50cc scooter for a year, ill probably stick with the 125 til im 18 then get something a bit quicker and get it restricted *cough* my dads busa looks tempting.... joke, that bike scares the poo out of me, its the pre 2000 one too so the top speed isnt limited to 180 something, not that you'd notice.

congrats dude, i did my CBT twice but never bothered with a full licence,a 125 was enough for me, and all i could afford at the time

and my driving test went pretty damn well cheers, i passed and have bee driving most of the day and im off out to pick up some friends shortly and go to the pub (quite possibly the only time ive been to the pub and wont be drinking scary ! )

benji106 - 25/11/05 at 08:06 PM

glad to hear it, congratulations!

Well done.
Now FFS keep it shiny side up.

Wrap up warm and stay on the dry line.

steve_gus - 25/11/05 at 11:52 PM

well done. Passed mine in 1977 - it was so much easier then.

Just ride a 250 with an L for as long as you like, no CBT. Then, if you wanted a full license, drive round the block a few times while a pedestrian examiner sees you for about 15% of the route!

I dont think I could have bothered with all the hoops you have to jump through now
