Post Update

Well after FAILING my mod 2 for driving TOO SLOW (20 in a residential estate where it turns out that despite a school and limited space it was in fact a 30) my bad.... i went to visit Ghita at Rosso Corse today, as you can see she's... well she's in bits really!

BUT

Oh how clean, Ray and Marcus both commented on the fact that they have NEVER seen a better second hand bike purchase, not least one bought blind off fleabay!









I'm very pleased she's a good un BUT I have stopped paying for lessons and now i'm getting a bit antsy

So i might have a plan to get me on the road in the interim, i'm going to sleep on it... what time is the meet on Saturday if I can get a pass without death

Actually, not "your bad" in my book, but theirs.
30mph is the MAXIMUM speed limit.
Travelling at 2/3 of the absolute maximum allowable speed seems reasonable enough to me.
And now, to make matters worse, there is consideration of applying "zero tolerance" to speeding drivers.
"Thou shalt drive at precisely the required speed at all times".
Of course 20 probably is a bit slow but then so is 30, most of the time.
Its about matching speed to the prevailing conditions at the time, which in this case were ...you were trying to be particularly well behaved as you were on your test.
Hardly worthy of a fail, in my opinion.

Like the name.
Any connection with the Sanskrit "Song of the Lord" ...or just a happy coincidence ?
Two syllables too ...one for each thump.

Utopia,

Thanks mate! It's been a little hard taking it on the chin, I had otherwise only 2 minor faults, but I though the Serious fault for "inappropriate speed" only to discover was for going to slow was a little harsh

Happy coincidence, but the logic was that Ghita in Italian means pearl, and she's pearl white
