Well done! Snow might be helpful in the sense of judging being a tad more lenient? Either way I'm well happy for you, congrats!

Nice one Ricky - many congratulations. I remember that floating on air feeling after passing mine like it was yesterday (well it wasn't all that long ago after all).

You've some amazing roads in your neck of the woods now that you're up and running. Hopefully the weather will improve soon which will make it better still for you.

Looks like you have lost a pot off your Monster. Which model is that exactly? Was it just produced for the Northern Ireland market?

Sorry to be the bringer of bad news but the S4R has got rather more in the way of extraneous plumbing attached and a living room sized radiator at the front (very handy for drying your towels though)

Congratulations mate.

I failed mine this morning for pulling up too close behind traffic when it stopped. He caught me out 3 times and I got busted for it.

Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn!!!

Hopefully get a retest booked for next week though. Got my beelzebub sat in the garage waiting for me. :worried: I wouldn't mind so much but its not as though I was unsafe!!

Ah well 5h1t happens.

Hope the weather clears for you mate so you can have a good blast out on your Monnie.
