If you need someone to ride it for you to keep it ticking over while you're waiting for your test I'd be happy to help

It's not just that they need extending, they are also a bit cheap and the mirror itself won't stay in the positions you set it in. Just been looking at some Rizoma mirrors and I might go for a set of them...not sure which ones yet though.

Hope you managed to pass, as for me I never did book my test in so the bike has been sitting dormant for the best part of 8 MONTHS!!!!

However, plans are being made and I plan to get my test booked in again sometime in April/May!

Took the covers off it last weekend only to find I'd left the parking lights on so the battery was flat as a pancake. Also, some ******** managed to break the clutch lever (I assume while parking their car), so I had some work to do!

So during the week I removed the battery and charged it, then at the weekend popped it back in, fitted a replacement lever and removed the mirrors.

I started her up and it caught first time, so left it running for a minute or two then took it for a spin round the estate. Everything felt nice and smooth, obviously it needs a good blast on the road before everything is back to full working order but felt good to bring it back to life!

Now - to get that test booked!!

Well it's taken me a lot longer then I thought, but got my mod1 passed this morning with only one minor fault!!

Mod2 is next week so I'm hopeful that I'll be able to get out and about on my bike and meet a few of you soon.
