When you pass the test ,please dont go mad and buy a 400 or above stick to a 175 for a couple of years then increase your engine size gradually as your skill and knowledge increases
Potential corpses usually buy something like a fireblade on passing their test then die cos they dont have the experience to handle that kind of power

Go for it

I did my CBT, theory, DAS & test in four weeks...hectic but great fun

Passed first time with a couple of minors (the test is no big deal if you keep calm and think).

It WILL also make you a better car driver....ever since I did mine I've had this pet hate about Lane Discipline, something that most car drivers don't even know exists :roll: :roll: :evil:
