Glad you've posted that today and not yesterday! I rode home on Thursday after my test on Snake Pass and nearly got blown off the road!! Enjoy yourself but not so much that you get nicked.
It was a funny sight to see...a little 125 being followed by a 1300 being followed by a stream of cars....oh the shame!!
*Oh and on the last hill down into Glossop I ran out of petrol but managed to turn the reserve to on and keep going...but don't tell anyone*
Heh now its time for shopping roachy, find something easy to restrict. I would recommend a 535 virago, cos I like viragos, they are cheap, easy to restrict, de-restrict ;). Also good to get more experience and confidence on, again I am biased, my first bike was a virago(okay it was an 11) and at the time it felt fast, but now I know its not, but i gained so much confidence and experience and though I felt like i was riding fast I wasnt really by sports bike standards.
And it gets snowed in a lot

zoom in to the west (left) of Sheffield and you will see the pass. Make sure that you have the map set to satellite and you will see the pass. it is a good run but can catch you out and it is also a major route and so you get stuck behind tucks a lot.
