DOn't buy old banger Honda CG125 bikes from E-Bay

So today was the day of my Module One test, had to ride thirty miles to the test centre and just as I was starting to enjoy the ride it rained. The rain fell on filthy roads and I was covered head to foot in brown spray, making my visor opaque!

Five miles from the test centre, my rear brake switch failed and I had no brake light for my rear brake! Front brake still lit the lamp, so we just gritted out teeth and hoped for the best.

Rode on to the test site and parked up, dripping brown water (not that kind of brown water!) onto the lovely DSA carpet.

The examiner that greeted me was lovely, he spoke so kindly and with such reassurance that my nerves evaporated. In less than ten minutes I was around the course and back in the warm. I passed module one with two minors and they were for dragging my feet on initial pull away and putting my foot down when I stopped after the swerve.

The ride back was mainly in glorious sunshine and I really enjoyed it, right up until we got home and I saw the state of our bikes. One warm bucket of water later and all is nice and clean again.

Happy days.

Now I just have to find the wiring fault that has stopped my rear brake light working. Grrr

Well done

Rock on! Who said the back light would go? Anyway, congrats on passing your Mod 1. The light is most likely the switch. Try adjusting it first, and check the filament hasn't gone in the bulb (twin-filament bulb) before dismantling anything to get to the wires.
