Well done, enjoy shopping.

Yay! Well done.

There's always the Thousand to consider ...

Nah, insurance for me makes the thou unreasonable, I'm around £250-300 for the year on and fzs 600, but 850-950 for the thou!

Maybe in a year or two when there's some no claims discount to help

Well done Mick! Seems to me you can't go far wrong with the 600 anyway. Hope you can get one sorted soon.

Well done. Some of the guys on here think a mod 1 is someone riding a scooter and wearing a parka

Well done mate, nice fast blue one, yes please!!

Andy FZS · « **Reply #37 on:** 09 July 2013, 04:44:45 am »

It is the best colour.

Frosties · « **Reply #38 on:** 09 July 2013, 07:28:40 am »

Very sweet looking bike mate - enjoy!

2 minors = a bloody good pass, nice one!

simonm · « **Reply #39 on:** 09 July 2013, 07:41:11 am »

Well done. I passed this year too :-). Yours was better than mine tho, I failed my mod 1 first time for locking up the rear wheel for about half a metre (doh), then passed the mod 2 with 3 minors.

Oh well. Best of luck and ride safe.

cheers guys, just back in from my first nightshift (took the bike to work last night - rude not to when its nearly 30 degrees outside

), amazing how much more respect you get on the roads without "L" plates on, that much is for sure!

There you go, remember to nod to L plates from now on, it will make them feel better.

Totally agree - I always nod to learners! Buuuuuuuuuut i need shooting - nodded to a friggin tricycle (Piaggio MP3) this morning on way to work at 5.30am (tired). No excuse for it really I know........felt low all day

I actually got my first EVER returned nod from a moped last week! I was shocked! Almost 2 years riding and hundreds of mopeds with only one to ever return it

I nod at all two wheeled and engined vehicles :-), actually surprised at the number of motorbikes that blank you
