    Welcome to the forum and congratulations on passing your bike tests.
    When I passed my test 43 years ago the examiner
    a) watched you from a distance turning lefts and rights
    b) stepped in front of you to do an emergency stop
    c) walked beside you as you rode at a walking pace
    d) asked a few Highway Code questions, done!
    Stay safe on your powerful new bike.

    Welcome aboard P. Don't let the nutters round here put you off, some of us on the normal-ish side of the asylum also look in from time to time.

    Welcome.
    Not heard of MOD2, is it some sort of scooter test?

    Many, many moons ago I had one a bit like that with sheepskin backrest, tank aerial etc. It was rubbish but I was young and knew no better at the time.

    Can you imagine trying to filter through traffic ?
    Looks like the owner may have been a bit paranoid about somebody sneaking up on him from behind.
    What size battery for the spot lamps ? Or is it plugged into the mains restricting travel to the length of a 4 gang extension lead.
    Anybody notice the 'L' plate ?
    I'll stick with my Bonnie thanks!
    Great picture though!
