Grrr - Weather :(
Sat here at home when I should be half way through Mod 2 - got a call just before leaving the house this morning to say all tests in Scarborough were cancelled today because of the weather.
Kinda releived in a way but also gutted as had got my head all sorted for it .
Feel bad for all the guys trying to get A2 in before the 19th as that could scupper them a fair bit.
Glad I'm doing DAS as just means I'll be doing mod 2 on an SV 650 instead of the GS 500 I would have been on today.

Good luck with your test! Although you might have to wait a few more days as the weather is pretty bad over the east coast and looks set to get worse. I done my test in York a couple of years ago, Mod 2 was definately easier than Mod 1 for me, but I guess it depends on the route they take you on.

Cheers 
Yep, could be a while yet as there's still a fair bit of snow on the ground here and we're due more tonight.
Definitely feel better about Mod 2 than Mod 1. Scarborough's a little bit closer to us than York but I know Scarborough better too so hopefully it should all go OK when it happens

Testing always seems so much simpler here in the US: you take a quick test in a parking lot somewhere, never achieving any sort of speed or interacting with, for example, actual roads or traffic. Following ten or fifteen minutes of messing around, they grant you a license endorsement which allows riding any size or shape motorcycle at any speed under all conditions....forever.
Of course, the price we pay for all this simplicity is that none of us really know much about riding bikes. Oh, that and the fact that all the car and truck drivers are similarly ignorant, but hey, it's America.
Enjoy your new life!

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
