Sadly work usually pays for the bike, I'm in the same boat.  Broken wrist isn't too bad.......As long as you learn from it it's all good. The new directive comes into play at the start of 2013, iirc anyone under the age of 24 at the start of 2013 does the same Mod 1 + 2 tests but only gains a license to allow you to ride a bike under 47BHP. People aged 24 and over gain an unrestricted license and can ride whatever BHP they want. If you get a restricted license it isn't automatically upgraded to a full unrestricted so you have to take Mod 1 + 2 tests again when you're 24+ (yeah.....Sucks ar*e doesn't it! ). No idea why they've done this other than use it as a money spinner, imo if a rider has done 2 years on a 47BHP machine then the restriction should be taken off as it is/was with the 33BHP (light bike) license. I can see a lot of riders staying on 125's until they reach 24 to avoid paying for 2 lots of training/tests, ask any driver to re-take their driving tests after a few years and most would struggle I reckon which is why I think this new directive is unfair. ***Gets off orange box and walks away grumbling*** |

Totally agree, manouvring a GS on a slalom was a lot easier than the GN125....Felt more 'planted' and a lot more stable. The new directive is nothing more than a money spinner, if it wasn't then anyone who passes should automatically have their license upgraded to allow the rider to ride any bike regardless of BHP rather than pay for re-taking the same tests again. Although I was speaking to one of the instructors at my local school not that long ago and he said it was 'under discussion' to do away with the 2 part test and have it back to what it was before, a single road test. I'm not sure how they'd incorporate the swerve avoidance/slalom/figure 8 etc in a 'road' test. Sounds like the powers that be are happy to pee more money up the wall making changes that don't need making in the first place. |
