:excited :excited :excited

I PASSED - 2 minors, no problem on the U turn this time as I was shown a different way to do it! as the test centre is an hour away, we also had a blast on the way back. It's amazing how different it was, knowing that I was not under instructor/test conditions; nodding to the other bikers and just generally enjoying the views :smt003

CB - have you got a link or any more details, might be able to make it.

samZX - One of my mates spotted it whilst he was buying a ZXR6 and as I'm a short ass thought it would suit me. Did you find one in the end or was this to add to a collection?

One off the new MPTCs is at Kings Lynn. Part 1 is similar to a CBT; fig 8, slalom, controlled stop, u turn (in a massive space), swerving past an obstacle and a few other bits. Part 2 is a basic road ride.

Yes I eventualy found one up in Haverhill, an L3 model with a race-style green and white paint job. I love it to bits hehe, fitting some semi-blue tint halogen bulbs tommorow, and I just finished replacing my bolts with anodised ones. I'll do my own thread and post some pic's at the end of the week but currently the bike (and me) are at my Grandads garage in Brighton were I can work on it in the warm and dry lol. Unfortunatly can't ride the thing on the road for around another 3 months when im old enough to do my test biggrin But yea, will be fitting the restrictor kit within the next 2 days :ffs so will likely post on the forums explaining the extent to which I've buggered the job up lol winks

(I actualy live in Bury St. Edmunds just down the A14 from Ipswich so I'll be able to attend things in the area once I've done my test and transported the bike back up to suffolk)
