Just on the train from Yorkshire to southport (UK) to pick my bike up from my uncle's house (he has a garage and I don't). Passed my mod 2 on Thursday, picking the bike up,then my uncle and I are off for my first ride out, so if you see a silver Daytona 955i and a nervous CBR600F3 behind it, give me a wave for some encouragement!

Can't wait. The sun has made an appearance and things are looking good.

Even the fact that I've needed to take 4 trains to get there and all of them have been delayed so far isn't quashing my excitement! This day has been a long time coming! Nearly 6 months from CBT to passing due to crappy weather and the new laws coming in. (I'm over 24 but priority was given to under 24s)

 

what law is that?

 

Very Cool, first ride on a new bike is always the best. When I collected mine it was miles away in Hartlepool(280 mi to Bristol) but I loved it. I also took my bike to work yesterday and the weather was remarkably good so you picked a good day and a great bike. Also the wait just makes you appreciate it all the more, i find.

 

They changed the laws for under 24's in the UK.

I think, and im sure someone will correct me if i'm wrong.

Under 24's have to sit their test on a smaller bike, then resist it again to get on a bigger bike once they hit 24.

Again, I'm not 100% sure as I was over 24 and it didn't affect me.

What an interesting ride yesterday.

Sunny for the first couple of hours of riding, then the temp dropped, it started raining/snowing, and was very windy.

Spent about another 2.5 hours on the bike, clocked up nearly 100 miles.

Loved it though!
