Second (potentially) best day of my life!

Morning all,

My daughter being born was by far the most incredible day of my life but today I might be having the next best day!

I bought a S3 2011, it's ready to be collected today from the dealer but I don't actually have a licence!

My mod 2 is this morning, if I pass then I'm going to be having a fantastic day! If I fail, I'm going to cry!

Please all send me some luck!

Excited and nervous, more excitement though

 

Congratulations and best wishes.
As the owner of a Speed Triple and a daughter I can sympathise.

 

Good luck with the test:upyeah:

 

Good luck with the test - only passed mine last May so know how you feel.
Advice I was given is to imagine the examiner as a satnav and ride like the police are following you.

 

Ride like you got your daughter on the back!! Good Luck

 

hi, and good luck your ride awaits you so get cracking m8

 

Well come on then how did it go? We won't take the mickey (much:wink if you cocked it up.

 

I'd probably fail if I had to take it again!

 

God if I rode like I had my daughter on the back I would lose my licence very quickly,lol. She is 42 now but when she was 6 she used to love it on the back of my old US spec Bonnie and used to shout FASTER,FASTER all the time, and being a good dad I did as I was told

Good luck with the test,and the Speedie

 

Congrats?????

 

PASSED! 4 minors! Picked up my S3 and haven't been able to get off it! I'm exhausted LOL! Amazing amazing amazing!

 

Congratulations.

Now you have passed the easy bit, now it is time to learn to ride.

I usually say to guys like you who buy a powerful first bike that they have made the wrong choice, I am concerned that you were exhausted, you have exceeded the point where you should stop as statistically that is the most dangerous time to ride.

Take my advice and go back to your trainer for additional sessions, then in the Spring sign up with the IAM.

Also sign up with the TOMCC and meet like Triumpet owners near where you live

Ride slow safe and never let your bike get ahead of your brain.

Enjoy a safe riding life on two wheels.

 

:upyeah::upyeah::upyeah::upyeah::biggrin:

 

Thanks for the advice, will look into additional sessions. Speaking of additional sessions, have any of you done BikeSafe?

 

Congratulations! I got 4 minors on mine too - including accelerating up to 50mph whilst still in a 30mph zone. How did I get away with that?
Ride safe and take the advice of ColLamb. I only had to ride my 125 home after passing and picked the Bonnie up 2 days later - a much tamer ride than your machine but still a world of difference from the little bike. Go steady.

 

Congratulations and she's a beautiful machine just be careful and have fun you've earned it you got your wheels now and that ain't easy these days

 

Thanks mate!

 

Thanks mate!

 

nice one alway remember ride safe and you will have the times of your life m8 well done:upyeah:

 

The Ridesafe courses are short assessements by the Police, they are good and are best followed by IAM training which is more detailed and takes place over many weeks, with six sessions.
