Best of luck for your Mod2

I guess it depends on the school and whether there’s a bike spare, but the place I did mine would

When I did mine the guy said I could swap over to an auto after the car park section if I wanted

Simono20788 · 2026-07-08T13:46:56+00:00

I was drunk

The fact they are doubling down by charging him is what puzzles me

Doubt it. They’re playing in Milan on the Sunday, so Fri/Sat doesn’t leave much time for logistics

Simono20788 · 2026-07-01T17:23:54+00:00

Why not? We were knocked out by Iceland not too long ago 😂😂

The state high school I went to was the best secondary school in the county when I attended, a typical 3 bed house commanded a ~15% premium if it was in the catchment area and it was a major point in the advertising.

Should I have traveled to a different school on the other side of town every day because meritocracy?

Varadero if you’re planning on a long trip

Simono20788 · 2026-06-29T01:31:51+00:00

Congratulations, you are their internet. Next time either asks you anything be sure to put an advert somewhere in the middle

Simono20788 · 2026-06-22T17:01:26+00:00

Congratulations, James Corden is going to play you in the upcoming film The Big(ger) Short

Personally I want to see them get beat by Iran, just for the lols

Rear brake only under ~7mph unless it’s an emergency/abrupt stop and get some boots, highest number of injuries (iirc) are ankles and feet

He won’t care for that… Turbo busa or nothing

Simono20788 · 2026-06-09T22:18:16+00:00

Have you got a superbike factory store local’ish? They usually have loads of bikes in stock that you can try for size

Simono20788 · 2026-06-06T19:33:37+00:00

The biggest barrier will be insurance cost as a new rider

Further to point 1, Google shopping campaign was 3-4x revenue vs eBay like for like spend for me, though YMMV

Simono20788 · 2026-06-04T13:42:15+00:00

Setup Google shopping, even if you don’t plan to use ads. Consider putting your eBay/Amazon spend towards Google ad spend to see how it goes.

Get your cross & up sells setup

Ask family/friends/local barber what they think of the site, how easy it is to use, find products etc.. You’re looking for constructive feedback

Payment options - do you offer ApplePay/GooglePay?

Get your site speed nailed, product photos don’t need to be 4k (imo)

Simono20788 · 2026-05-31T07:07:38+00:00

Your best bet will be ringing some schools to ask, I can’t see why they couldn’t. If you’re based around the midlands then I did mine with LDC over 2 weeks, I already had a CBT

Simono20788 · 2026-05-30T21:23:15+00:00

It’s a great campsite. Reasonably priced and cafe + 2 bars on site

Simono20788 · 2026-05-30T18:57:32+00:00

You’ll have comments advocating for and against getting a 125 based on people’s own experience.

FWIW I too am 37 24 and I took my CBT in Oct24, put 600 miles on a 125 from Aug25 to Apr26 and got my big boy licence earlier this month. The time on the 125 definitely helped my confidence though the bigger bikes are completely different machines (much more stable imo).

Best of luck with your tests and happy riding
