The FS1E speed arguments back in the day started at about 55mph and ended up at the 75+ mark
First bike after CBT - Yamaha YBR125 OR Honda CBF125
- Thread starter Gimpymoo
- Start date
Passed my Mod1 earlier in the week on an MT-07, Mod2 booked for next Friday.
Has been emotional but almost there

Mod 2 tomorrow morning, feeling a little nervous.
Got to be at riding school for around 7am for a ride to the test centre so I guess one of the first tests of the day meaning rush hour but not sure if that is good/bad or irrelevant

I managed it - you'll be fine!Mod 2 tomorrow morning, feeling a little nervous.

Managed a PASS!
GET IN.
Three minors so a dirty pass but better than an almost perfect but fail.
The examiner was a great guy, very chill and calm. Never thought for a moment he was there to "do me over".
I thought had failed earlier in the test so that was on my mind, a few things I did and you overthink, then even when had done something right, questioned if I did.
What a journey, now the hard work begins.

Congrats dude, that's ace! Bet you must be buzzing
Thank you.
Buzzing is an understatement. The riding school let me ride their bike back to the shop by myself. Was screaming into the helmet, just an amazing feeling.
Being on a big bike without my instructor in my ear telling me what I am doing wrong, giving advice etc was very surreal. Love my instructor, they showed soo much patience over the last few months. Shout out to all the GOOD instructors out there.
I am now able to ride a bike safely, now I learn how to ride

And, she was stolen last night, found in a sorry state in a local field this morning.

Looks like total amateur hour, they could not break the steering lock, despite leveraging the handlebars to the point of bending them, then somehow took it to an abandoned field with a rundown remains of a stable and tried to hide it, after they had already killed it Reservoir Dogs style.
Seems mindless as only a 125.
The place where it was has bars to prevent access to bikes so I guess it was "slid" on the ground, this would correlate with some of the damage so no idea what their intentions were, parts? But even then, a lot was damaged, plastics, seats (probably looking for tracker and electrics to start the bike), brakes and more.
Worried what their valuation will be as the market for Japanese 125's is crazy. I paid £2,000 in June
So so sad as got her two weeks after passing my CBT in May and only got my full licence last Friday. A great great bike, never let me down once and was a pleasure to learn/build confidence on.
Not dropped her ONCE, not even has a complete novice. These clowns have a few minutes and do all that.
Felt physically sick most of the day.

Mod 1 is the harder of the two imo, more pressure if you make 1 mistake your kind ******.
Mod 2 is less pressure in my opinion and longer so you can show the examiner you can ride safely but confidently out of the road.

I had came home after doing some errands got distracted and that turned into an hour, when I went outside to do the anti theft dance, someone had done the "lets nick it" dance.
Yes, I may have contributed and I know it only takes seconds but is **** and I feel soo bad right now.
Harsh lesson learnt... it is a 125 FFS
Getting a ground anchor installed.

Scum love a 125 unfortunately, small and easy to pilfer as you've found.
The worst thing is like you say they've wrecked it just for the sake of it.

Christ, what a way to start your biking journey.
Sorry to hear what happened, but (and I hate to say this) you really have got to make sure your bike is secure at all times.
You shouldn't have to, but it's the times we're living in sadly
