Throw a load of convictions at it, that's probably what's making the difference with me.

Let's hope Dom hasn't got a load of convictions, if he's only just done the CBT.

Pah! He's not even trying! My very first provisional license at 16 came with two endorsements already on it. Guess I was never cut out to behave...

No im a good boy! Not that young to be on a 125, I'm 35 going on 36 but decided to work my way up to an SV. Plan is to spend summer on my Yzf r125 when having lessons then once mod 1 and 2 are passed move up.

Too sensible maybe, but Im cautious and don't want to take on more than I'm capable of.

Any way I've been out and done 40 miles. Feels weird especially as I passed my cbt nearly a month ago and haven't ridden since. Some of it was far from perfect but I kind of expected that. Bit of 'I'm sure I cancelled that signal' and jittery moving off from junctions.

I did find I had a better idea of what gear I was in compared to when I did my Cbt.

My insurance more than doubles when I go Fully Comp over TPFT. And my excess is £650 regardless of what type of cover I go for so I just stick with TPFT.

Yeah excess is ridiculous, but I'm happy to pay less than £200 fully comprehensive with legal/personal injury cover and breakdown. One plus of being 35.
