boboneleg Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 I'm surprised that none of these test bikes aren't in the colours of the original Transalp 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specs Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 3 hours ago, Specs said: No LATEST!!! Apparently the bike has been fixed. The guy I spoke with had no idea what the techies have done and that he'd find out and let me know. Perhaps I'll never find out. Told him I wanted the bike returned here as covered by the extended warranty breakdown cover. It'll probably be another week as he said a different department deals with that. I'm out on the lash tomorrow afternoon, so I told him tomorrow morning or Thursday would have to do. I'm not holding my breath about anything M & P related here. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was interested to see if we have any other participants! I did something in my last year of junior school, no idea if it was an 11 plus. There were only two of us destined for my senior school because we had both moved away from the immediate area but still stayed at the same junior school for the last year. We both had to go to a room and take an exam whilst a member of staff watched us and timed it, took about an hour. I can recall the questions were mostly English and Maths based, I know I had to guess a lot of them as it was stuff I hadn't heard of then. When I turned up at my senior school they streamed us, we had three bands and a dribbler class. I went in to the top stream and my mate went into the lower stream, but was moved up to the middle stream at the end of the first year. The dribbler class was wound up by the 3rd year and the occupants moved in to the lower stream. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily, some of the reviews that I've seen recently go along the lines of "it goes well, handles OK and is pretty comfortable, but I wouldn't buy one because it's got tubed tyres and no cruise control"! Go figure! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boboneleg Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 I didn’t do 11 plus but sat an entrance exam for the three grammar schools in Bristol as they were allowing 3 free places (non paying) that year. I only got a grade good enough for a fee paying place and there was no way we could afford that. I ended up going to a comprehensive and looking back I was really glad as I would have ended up having a fight every week in a grammar school 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
