The bitter end - for now

Gutted for you too – that 2 year rule is horrible – I thought I’d got caught a few years ago with 2 speed cameras in the same last month of my 2 years – I was lucky that neither resulted in anything.

We all speed, you have been very, very unlucky.

I hope you continue with LB and continue to post.

Happy travels!

gutted for you hun, but at least you’re going to enjoy the time off the bike. If you’re passing New York on your travels, let me know :kiss:

Bad news mate, sorry.

Ref new licence, in Nigeria it was £10 for a licence that would arrive within the month, or £20 if you wanted one in 24 hours. No test required! Valid for 2 years and ideal for hiring cars with in UK when back home on leave.

All that aside, enjoy your travelling and no, I wouldn’t recommend Nigeria just for an easy new licence.

Nice one cheers Sherrie x

And thanks for the comment off everyone else. Its a shiiitter huh! ahhrrr well Im taking it as a solid omen to get me out of here :smiley:

Sad times :frowning: I know you’ve been itching to travel for a while now so get your bags packed as soon as you can and enjoy, see you soon on the pink triple :stuck_out_tongue:

Are you out tonight making the most of a condemned mans last hours?:wink:

Was thinking about going down the ace! but im at work at 9pm :frowning:

Really sorry to hear this - I’m also very shocked - I didn’t realise they could revoke your licence in this way. :ermm:

Hope you make the best of the time off of the bike.

I remember you telling me about this a while back and think you have taken it so well considering.

Good luck with your travelling mate and hopefully we will catch up sometime soon.

I lost my licence due to 6 points within 2 years (I was TEN DAYS AWAY from the two years!!!). Such is my entheusiasm for all things with wheels and engines I was back on the road within 3 weeks and 5 days.

Good luck!

Does the whole 2 year probationary period thing then start from the beginning again ?

Sorry to hear about people losing their license this way.

As for the question about what happens when you get a new license, No, the process doesn’t start again - instead you keep the points from the first license, so you only need another 6 for the normal ban you get at 12 points.

Sorry dude - could pretty much be any of us - just bad luck :frowning:

that seriously sucks hun!!! what ya doing with the bike?

at least u can travel the world a bit.

you still gota come out and see us :smiley:

bad times bud…

i got very close myself a few times, my 2 years was up in july TF!

have a good one travelling fella, stay in touch.

Feel for you man. I have still 3 months to go and touch forests of wood my licence is still spanking clean amazingly. I am now so paranoid that I never venture out of my local roads without the GPS loaded with all the cameras and police speed check and an audible alarm (I use http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/modules.php?name=Cameras . They are super comprehensive…)

If you alread have a car (B) licence you can opt to re-sit that exam and that will re-enable all you licences including the motorcycle. If you don’t then maybe it could be better to just pass the car test from scratch as it will probably still cost you £500 with all the courses and you end up with an extra licence. However I am not sure whether this would work if you don’t already have the car licence, I’d say call the DVLA and find out.

Keep your eye on the bikes for sale section :wink: :crying:

Gonna be at santa pod next weekend for shenanigans :smiley:

Sorry to hear that. Can you not just retake the theory, then the practical test again, without training?

If you did it less than 2 years ago, you wouldnt be that bad yet surely?

they have changed the test now. plus its an extended re-test for revokee’s. would make sense to have a brush up.
anyway its money out of the travel fund so… bike has to go :frowning:

Bad luck fella, hope you return to two wheels in good time… Enjoy the travels!
