Theory booked! [Mod 1 & 2 Passed]

[Irn-Bru]

On my way to getting my full license now Just come back from the local bike training place and got lots of info. He said it should cost less than £400 for lessons + tests, which it a lot cheaper than I was expecting. Well, he said £280 if I pick up everything first time but I've probably picked up loads of bad habits Doing my theory first then mod 1 training once I pass

I need to brush up on the theory part though Any recommendations? Preferably ones that don't cost money I aced my car theory test so I'm not too worried.

There are a few free ones online which you could practice, but Im sure an up to date dvla cd with all the questions and videos is better really

Good luck !

[Mystery]

yeah book your theory and mod one a few weeks a part then don't book mod 2 till you have passed mod 1 incase you fail once or so, good luck though

My mate plunged into Mod 1 without any training, passed with 1 minor. It's only £10. Why waste your money with training?

Thought it was just advanced training after the test, my mistake, i'm not upto date with all these useless rule changes. I need to get back to my bike school and get a good bollocking to get me riding like i should do.

Hmm, what's the hazzard perception test like for motorbikes? Is it exactly the same as the car one?

Can't see why it wouldn't be, really.

Got a hold of some CDs today but they're out of date. One is 2006/2007 and the other is 2008. YouTube is a good source of information though, especially for the module tests.

Passed my theory today - 50/50 for the questions and 54/75 for the hazzard perception (annoying cause I got 66 for my car theory). Booked my Module 1 training for this Monday and the instructor says if I pick everything up quickly he can book me in for the proper test early next month. Luckily for me the test centre is literally right next to the training centre!

well done mate, the toughest bit for me was theory.. passed first but still was a bitch
hope you ace mod 1 and 2..then join the big bikes

[Irn-Bru]

I know Don't fancy doing either test in the wet, especially module 1 Ah well! I'm too impatient and can't be bothered to wait 'till next year

nah you will be fine...the learner bikes are GS500's or ER5's...fairly easy to throw around

[Irn-Bru]

Yeah but I'll be doing it on a 125 won't I? I'm under 21 so I'm not doing direct access

erm..u do on a 500 i believe...
i chose to anyway, i do think you get 125 choice though..
And under 21 doesnt matter...you can take test on 500!

I did the test when i was 20, used a GS500..failed mod 2 once..but it aws on silly stuff i got used to on my 125...jsut the bad habits.

[tutton]

Gotta be 21 to do das on a 500,

Just got back from my lesson and they offered me a Module 1 booking for next Tuesday I passed 4/5 practise tests so I'm chuffed It was a bit weird driving a CG after coming from a DTR, but as long as you rev the tits off it its not too bad.

i feel sorry for anyone having to do the module 1.

im so pleased i did mine summer last year. good luck with it dude

i had gone up from a 50cc moped onto the CG125 for the test and i thought it was metally fast lol.

for the theory just do the free tests online, most is common sense anyway.

You cant unless the 500 is putting out under 15bhp i think it is for learner bikes, which they wouldnt do as itd be so measly on the power...

Well this is the course i did..
restricted access.
4 day course,
day 1 cbt on 125.

day 2 road riding 125, exceptionals go on 500, if you arent ready for a 500 on day 3 you cant finish the course.

day 3 you do road riding and slow speed stuff.

day 4 you head to your 1st module
then come back in a week for 2nd module

I was 20..
Not sure what the rules are elsewhere, but thats what i did in June.
Unsure if GS was restricted..never went over 60 and didnt seem sluggish at the time.

Either someone cocked up somewhere, or I did the wrong course lol...but thats what i did
