Thanks chaps.
Failed the Module 1 test the first time round..damn u-turns!
Passed it the second time even with getting 66Km/H for the emergency stop(Whoops)
I thought I screwed up Module 2 within the first 10 minutes..but then decided to just ride and enjoy it. Was a surprise when the examiner told me I had passed..what a nice chap!
Anyway, picked up the bike this morning..going from a GS500 to a Z750 was a bit of a shock. Bike is so damn responsive..but pretty awesome. Can't wait to finish work now and go for another ride.
Will post some pics later.
If anyone wants to go for a ride in the near future let me know. My mate Dean (Who also owns a Z750) and I are thinking of taking some time off work to ride around before the Winter sets in.

well done Kev!
long way round?
i cant do more than about 80 miles on my cbr without needing a break unless i can keep the speed up
wouldnt be ideal for a roadtrip
dont do what i did (write off bike within 12 months of passing) - remember this one gem for noobs.. if you're going into a corner too hot get off the front brake and on the back....

Hi Kev, I'm near Southampton, so not too far away. Not going to be a le to do any touring. I can't take the time off, but if the weathers fine I'll come out for a blap. Get the pics up & the rubber side down
