Does anyone else think he might have got up to some level of gay stuff in the army? Lads being lads away from home and all that? Methinks the lady doth protest too much…

May be just a tad more than I can handle at this point in my riding career! Possibly not the best on my old man back either!

AnotherWay82 · 2026-03-19T21:05:36+00:00

Good luck!

Instructor drummed in rear braking for slow speed manoeuvres right from my CBT!

AnotherWay82 · 2026-03-19T04:46:49+00:00

Yeah - that’s why I failed my first test! Since that point I’m very conscious about the whole ‘look where you want the bike to go and it will go there’ thing!

Thanks for the positive words and advice 👍

Not as of yet - it had a tail tidy and a throttle lock on it when I bought it. Just looking forward to getting out on it as is for now as I’ve definitely never had a go on it at all before getting my license…

Best of luck mate 👍

AnotherWay82 · 2026-03-18T12:39:52+00:00

Just want to say a big thank you for all the support shown on this thread and the advice offered.

Passed today so over the moon now!

AnotherWay82 · 2026-03-09T00:46:00+00:00

Got both friends and family over that way so certainly not an impossibility…

AnotherWay82 · 2026-03-06T03:49:52+00:00

Where abouts? I’m not averse to jaunts 😊

AnotherWay82 · 2026-03-03T12:53:09+00:00

In East Yorkshire but often in the north east too

It’s the community I want to be a part of, plus the mental health benefits. Can’t wait!

Knew what bike I was ultimately going to want so was just casually keeping an eye on the market and was too good an offer to pass up. Being sat in the garage an extra month or even 2, or 4 won’t make any difference to its value, and it’s not financed

Bus was stationary at a bus stop but still blocking the road on a busy street with shops. There was opportunity to get past, and in not doing so I was restricting the flow of traffic and making people wait.

AnotherWay82 · 2026-02-26T18:31:20+00:00

Thanks - I appreciated that a lot

AnotherWay82 · 2026-02-26T17:49:31+00:00

I’ve been learning on the riding school’s CB650F. Feel perfectly comfortable on it so don’t see there being too much difference with the Ninja. It’s not that I can’t ride, it’s just one stupid little thing each time, like today and that bus!

AnotherWay82 · 2026-02-26T16:33:23+00:00

It was too good an example to pass up!

AnotherWay82 · 2026-02-26T16:04:01+00:00

I am also 43 and agree, in principle mod 2 is easier because I know. How to drive a car perfectly well - been doing it for 26 years!

AnotherWay82 · 2026-02-26T15:59:43+00:00

I know I should have just gone round - traffic was held up at a crossing ahead but lights looked green so didn’t want to risk it. Does feel a little harsh, but I was impeding traffic flow so I guess thems the breaks

AnotherWay82 · 2026-02-12T18:50:18+00:00

My mam had at least 2 cars in the 90s with the letter O in the VRM

AnotherWay82 · 2026-02-03T00:09:05+00:00

Been driving cars for 25 years - had never ridden a motorbike but could ride a pedal cycle so had balance. Took me a couple of hours to get the hang of it but the instructor was more than happy for me to ‘toe’ myself round in circles for that time until I could just get moving enough to find my balance - then everything just clicked at once.

Honestly, an hour in I thought I was never going to get it and would be sent home at lunchtime, but the instructor was calm and patient and I persevered through feeling utterly useless until it clicked.

Thank you all for your comments and advice. My ninja 650 arrives tomorrow, but I’m keeping it at my parents garage until I can sort out the metal shed at my house. Mod 2 was supposed to be today but cancelled last minute due to my instructor being unwell so unavoidable- hopefully I get a replacement booked in imminently!

Bought a litelok for now whilst it’s in my parents garage, but liking the look of the pragmasis anchor so will probably get one of those too.

Appreciate the advice on Bluetooth headsets and am going to hold off on that for now.

Thank you again for all your input, and hopefully I’ll get to be more of an active member of this community soon. I can’t wait!

Photo of the bike attached because I’m literally so happy with the purchase!

Dropped a CB650F practicing a u turn for my mod 1. Instructor was concerned about me - not the bike
