    Myself and gf replaced suite and tiled half bathroom in 2 days and an evening.
    We replaced bath with walk in shower but otherwise nothing too complicated
    Had never done anything before, lots of planning before hand and push fit connectors are your friend
    And sealant!!

    I have an Inov-8 waist belt which is super solid.
    If over an hour and warm I carry 2 old fruit shoot bottles, nice small size to stop a dry throat!
    Bigger bottle if longer, don’t enjoy the camelbak sloshing around!!

    I believe you have quite a long time to send it away. I had a similar case going away for months after passing. I think examiner said 6months….just ring DVLA and ask/examiner will know!

    Plus good luck, passed my bike test last year and love it. Test was actually fine, no where near as nerve racking as car test because you feel more on your own.

    You’ll be fine. I regularly stay in the carpark in the van. Never had a problem.

    Looks amazing, definitely tempting to as the bike to replace my monster. Something special about a Duc

    I was under the impression you just need a horn to be able to use a track bike on the road…with daytime mot obv!

    Ferry arrives in calais at 6.30am, that gives most possible day light to get down there, would be nice to see the mountains!

    It’s all about the removal of levels. Pupils used to be given yearly and key stage targets however levels don’t exist anymore and schools soon won’t be allowed to use them. We have stopped using them….however a target must be set to measure progress and the only target that can be age is a gcse grade.
    However….we have always been able to predict gcse grades since yr7 from FFT data.
    The gcse target is good though, instead of assuming linear progress it gives a longer time scale taking int account different progress at different stages of education.

    The point at which it is shared with pupils is obviously open to debate…..

    I don’t think I agree with a/b grade pupils being ignored though, I have to offer as much explanation for someone not getting an a as I would not getting a c.

    Final descent of blade isn’t the skyline…….you have to turn left and go 20yds down fire road for last descent.
    Personally a massive fan of the blade, tight berms down through trees at halfway point a personal favourite.
    Isn’t it interesting how people prefer different trails……..

    I had a lwb connect, was really nice to drive but had a lot of issues. Friend has caddy with same 140bhp as my golf with golf seats in, it’s great, if I wanted a small van again I’d get a caddy, but I have a big van for bike duties! Get a big one then you can sleep in it!

    Got it down from 470 to 230!
    AIB were great, got it down to 269.99
    Clubcare had a long long list of requirements that annoyed me.
    Adrian Flux well off at 365 and HIC and 375.

    Im pleased im still with Brentacre, everytime I speak to them the happy south walians make it all so easy!

    Combo and caddy are 2 seats up front.
    Dispatch/expert/scudo is the smallest with 3 seats. Apart from brand new transit connect.

    I had a similar issue a year or so ago. I tried to fight it but buyer won with pp. however they won’t talk your money until you have received the bike back. Buyer pays return postage. In my case the buyer never returned the bike….I think he was hoping I would just give him a partial refund. Call their bluff, worst case is you end up with the bike back!

    You won’t miss it, I did it 2weeks ago, it’s after a gate and pretty obvious! Snowdon was totally amazing as well, and wait to go again. Anyone ridden the final Zig zags on rangers and pushed back to telegraph?

    I did the CBT, 125 route, rode the 125 for around 3 months before I was sick of it.

    I then did 2 days training before doing full licence.

    I would reccomend the doing direct access, the level of training I had compared to CBT was far superior. I feel a much better and safer rider on my bigger bike (ducati monster so nothing crazy!) than I ever did after a rushed 1 day CBT training.

    If you in south west then Chris at MTS training, okehampton is awesome!

    Who cares if bike is faster / slower, its better!
