Passed my MOD 2 at around 2.40pm this afternoon, Came back home & insured the bike but am waiting till the morning when the roads are quieter to have my first run out, I am being Mr sensible.

Do you still need to have L plates or is MOD 2 a full license?

That's it now mate No L plates & I can ride any bike I like.
How it goes. 1. CBT 2. Theory & Hazard Perception tests. 3. MOD 1 4. MOD 2. If you are under 21 you have to ride a bike restricted to 33bhp though, Those over 21 can ride whatever they want once passed the above. |

Well I've been out & done 150 miles or so in 2 trips out. Took me about 50 miles to feel proper comfortable but I have to say the bike is really easy to ride & just goes anywhere you look. I've practiced some emergency stops & the brakes are that good my eyes nearly popped out.
Speed/Power wise it just seems endless & the acceleration just blows me away. Biggest buzz so far has been powering out of a left hander going into a right hander that is on a rise so you can't see the road where you are going, The bike & me went weightless & not being able to see where you are going makes you proper **** yourself. |
