I passed first time with no lessons and just a learners book and youtube, check this guy; http://www.youtube.com/user/RoadcraftNo ... re=g-all-c his teaching seemed to gel nicely with my riding style. Although I did have 13000 miles under my belt on a PCX, which then got written off and I got my S-Wing which I took my test on.

As for taking the test, Mod 1 I found the scoot to just about have enough power to get to the required speed.

Mod 2 was a breeze
Travelling at several WTF's a minute

Cheers for that! I've got an s-wing too so at least I know it can get up to the speed ok. Was it a close thing on the speed? The instructor said that was his issue with the scooters.

Richie take a look at the new Honda (NC700X) ideal for a "tall fat old git", who also likes to conserve his funds, you can also have an auto version (DCT).
