I haven't
+  I did my theory & hazard perception last Friday & scraped a pass, I have my first practical lesson for my Mod 1 on May 1st. I've been looking for bikes since selling my Chopper & this is the best one I've seen by a country mile for the money I had. I thought I would have to compromise but I am honestly happy in every single way with the bike I've ended up with.

Lessons start tomorrow, Hoping to get it all done by next week but it is dependent on when a Mod2 can be booked. All I could do was stand & stare at it today.

First day of lessons today involved riding in the rain for 7 hours & to be honest the rain took my mind off all the crap you have to go through. My helmet started hurting my ears after about 4 hours & the instructor did his best to ruin any hearing I had left by shouting like a **** most of the time when talking would have been adequate. My glasses steamed up constantly & so did my visor it was Great. About as great as having a broom handle shoved up your ring.
 I can honestly say there were times when I just wanted to deck somebody ANYBODY & go home.  Thankfully after being home for an hour or so & a couple of smokes I am finally getting over the nightmare which was today.
