Well this morning just before mid day I drove into the test centre after being out on my mod 2 test to learn that I had passed my test with 3 minor faults... Over the Moon to be honest and looking forward to being able to ride my America on delivery week this Friday.... This had been a real boost for me, as not going through a great time in my life at the mo.... The bike is going to be a real escape for me and a welcome distraction... so tonight it's

 Well done matey Just take it easy for a while. Not the best time of year to start getting the feel of your bike with all the wet leaves etc on the countryroads at the moment. Plus that new tba of yours will get dirty  ATB geoff

Yep! Congrats there, Derek!!! Now keep that shiny-side up, mate!!! Quote:

And yep! It may be somewhat of a tired old line, BUT..."You never see a motorcycle parked out in front of a shrink's office", is STILL a very very valid observation, ya know!!! 
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Thanks for all the comments.....had a good laugh at one about never seeing a bike outside a shrinks....you wont see mine outside one Will take it easy at first....will not be going mad on the roads and wont spoil the chrome and paintwork... All good advice there, will be taking it steady... Still in a little shock even today...test is a bit of an ordeal these days, but I guess it makes you more of a safe rider...certainly made me more aware in a car and has changed my driving habits Thanks all
