Title: On this day...
Post by: ChristoT on 14 June 2014, 04:09:14 pm
On this day, 2 years ago, at 2:30pm, I presented myself at the Bury St Edmunds test centre for my Mod 2 on my XL125 Varadero. I was quite nervous, as I had to be out of Uni accomodation 2 weeks later, and needed to get home to France.

An hour later, I left the test centre, where, to my astonishment, I found I had indeed passed my test. That was the beginning of my rideing career proper.

And so today, my 33hp restriction is lifted from my license! It's a bit bittersweet: I look forward to riding some more powerful bikes, not least Project fazer, but I'm a bit sad that I'm unable to ride a bike today.

Ride safe, all, and let the good times roll.

Congrats Chris - my son has very recently passed the 2 year mark after his test and we took the restrictors out of this Fazer.


After his first ride with full power he was just grinning from ear-to-ear !


Today's a small celebration for me - just passed my annual LPC this morning (it's a regular thing, but I always get nervous when an examiner flies with me), so another 12 months of carefree flying beckons.

Congrats Christo mate. Just a shame you don't have a bike to get on a wee celebratory ride out. Still, won't be too much longer before you get project Fazer roafworthy with any luck, and it will be full power :)

Yep, this time next year, I'll (hopefully!) be a qualified aeronautical engineer! Give up on travel, basically, no form of transport is safe!! :lol :lol :lol
