Modern Vespa

Hey everyone
I passed module 2 today!
Wahoooooo!
Now where's that red GTS 300 .....
Thanks for all your tips and advice Saz xxx

Congratulations Kittysaz Yes red will be a good choice and everyone knows why.

Contratulations

Awright!!

Aww thanks all!
I'm
Sooo happy
Why is red good then?!!

Congrats!

Red is the slowest color and therefore the safest because speed can be dangerous

Ah I see
I'm a safety gal so that's good!

Like we didn't know you would. CONGRATS.

Forgive Arno1 he is a little mixed up these days.

Red = fastest color.

You're all proper bloody nice you lot...
Ta loves x

A very big well done.

somerset

I'm so new around here that i really don't know what "module 2" is. But it sounds like an achievement. Good for you!

Hearty congratulations Kittysaz! (I'm very glad to have taken my test so many years ago - before modules were invented )

Au contraire. I never had a clearer head, with no more fuel fumes around

Congratulations on passing your test ........Sticky is right, red is the fastest color 8)

Vegasgeorge in the UK we have to do a theory test and two module tests
1 is the slow manoeuvre and hazard avoidance, module 2 is the open road rude with examiner behind. You have to pass all three to get your full licence. I did my tests on my 125 GTS so am limited to rude automatics up to 33BHP for two years
Then I can ride any size so long as its twist and go....
Hope that helps

Open road rude
Sorry I meant ride
I didn't do it in the buff
I wouldn't wish that in anyone

Sorry my predictive keyboard keeps saying rude when I mean ride
Dirty iPhone. Dirty.

Well done Sarah. And red *is* the fastest colour.

Dear Kitty,

Congratulations! Don't worry, you'll probably come across enough "rude" on the road - left side or right side.

I have heard the red is the fastest; but Midnight Blue is cool!

Mr. F

Thanks Jim x
Mr F
They don't do midnight blue here

Oh and I just updated my insurance and it cost me £25 extra! Despite me being more qualified!
What a bunch of you know what's....

The 25 quid is just the admin fee for them recording the info. Best always to wait until you renew (or change scoot) for telling them that sort of thing.

Wish I'd known that Jim...
Another wise tip
Cheers Hun

Well done that girl.

Very proud of you.

Aww Birreh thank you that really means a very lot 8) xxx

Congratulations. Really pleased for you.

Congratulations! They sure put you through your paces getting certified.

Here's to no rude rides in your future.

Absolutely made up for you Sarah! Now we need to ride out together-people may mistake us for twins!
Ash the Bash

Grats!

congratulations, very well done.

enjoy the new scoot when you get it (what ever colour!!! lol )

cheers chris.

Well done. Beat the license changes with time to spare!

Now you can do something really horrible to those "L" plates! What a stigma they are!

Really well done!!

Truth to that.
Congradulations getting the upgraded license. It's been 35 years since getting my bike licence and it was nothing like it is today.

Well done, now go and get the GTS in bright red

Thanks for the clarification, Kittysaz. Sounds like they really make you jump through the hoops over there. Hasn't it occurred to anyone that one motorbike or scooter is essentially like every other? I don't think the licensing distinctions between geared and automatic, or small engine and large engine make any difference at all. Riding safely is all that counts, and all bikes or scooters are the same when it comes to that. It sounds to me as if your rules were made up by people who know nothing about motorcycles. In any event, congratulations again on passing your test!

I disagree. Take someone who has only ever ridden a 125 and put them straight on a 600+ sports bike with no further training and it's a recipe for disaster.

There's more differences between all the various bike types you could ride for a few thousand pounds than there are between cars.

Some of the practicalities of our test system aren't ideal, especially after the changes next year, but the basic principles are fine.

You could also argue that someone who had only ridden a Harley Davidson Sportster or other cruiser is equally unequipped to ride any sports bike including a Ninja 250. My brother who has ridden a KLR for years and a BMW 1200R still had to watch it on some little 500cc dirt bike that weighted less than 250lbs. Didn't take much to pull a wheelie and get your ass dumped off the back of that one.

I went straight from an Aprilia Habana Custom 125cc to a Yamaha Fazer 600cc with no ill effects matey.......
