Cheers mate, almost 6 months ago now and I've now got a full license and an MT07 of my own now. I wrote up my MOD 1 and 2 experience too if you're interested https://www.themotorbikeforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=23633&start=435#p1003861 https://www.themotorbikeforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=23634&start=555#p1012315 Good reads, congratulations on eventually passing your Mod 2, what chaos the 2nd time you went in to get it done! Might have been different if you had turned up an hour late instead..... Passed the 2nd time same as me, nice you got an MT07 though, cracking first bike imo and loved riding it.

Good CBT story Bungleaio! The MT07s are cracking. Lucky you!

Congratulations on doing your CBT and onto the next stages! FYI I much prefer contact lenses and wouldn't ride without them, I keep a spare pair in my jacket just incase. Personally I went straight for DAS and onto the 600cc when I was ready, when I got a shot of a 125cc after that I wasn't too impressed having ridden the bigger bike, but it's preference on which you would rather, some people prefer having a 125 to use. Happy bike shopping and riding

I failed my first Mod 2 for missing an overhead gantry sign somehow, approaching a roundabout then as a result was in the wrong lane coming off the roundabout staring down a motorway slip, resulting in having to move to the right lane too late. Hopefully lesson learned in forward planning! Skip to my Mod 2 resit 3 months later: Lost my instructor for the first time, 20 minutes before the test start Eventually made my way towards test centre and he caught up with me. Briefed by examiner, number plate check and a few show me tell me questions, I rode off from the test centre being followed by examiner in an a car, into heavy traffic with traffic lights faulty again in a busy part of town. Sat in the traffic for 10-15 minutes and eventually instructed to turn round out of the traffic and continued on, so my test lasted around 50 minutes! Nothing to difficult this time round. Various stops by the side of the road, pulling in behind parked cars and moving off. By this point it was just starting to rain and it was freezing with my summer gloves on! *Remember to go shopping.....*. Eventually made our way back to the test centre after some pretty congested areas and routine junctions and the examiner asked me to park my bike up and stand next to it. All in all not a bad second round I thought, once I kept the nerves at bay. The examiner then invited me inside, and after a minute or so asked me into the debrief room, and said 'Happy to let you know that you've passed, congratulations'. Riding back to the training school afterwards sporting a massive grin, never been more happy to ride in the rain than that moment.
