Passed mod 1

[CptBlack]

... this afternoon with 0 faults which was nice considering how nervous I was! Would have been quite fun if it wasn't a test situation!

As mentioned in other threads, the sizes of the initial movement in the bays and the U-turn are ample.

Poor guy before me had been rear ended this morning at a roundabout!

No mod 2 til October so if anyone has a test booked before then at Gloucester, I'll pay you a fiver to cancel it

[pinkyfloyd]

congrats. i'd recomend getting as much road riding experience between now and mod 2, practice hill starts, angled starts, pulling away from stand still, junctions and roundabouts.

dont forget lifesavers and indicators should be turned off as soon as the turn is made.

keep practicing and you will be fine

Should all be okay hopefully, I've been riding to Bristol and back for 9 months so as long as nerves don't affect me too much, I'll pass. Also on my own machine so I'm very comfortable with it. But still will be practicing loads, as you say.

With a cancellation, it's easier to change a booked one than to get a new one, plus it's a fall back if there is n o cancellation

Cool, will keep checking then. Good luck on your next one

[CptBlack]

And today I passed MOD 2, with 2 minors.
Thought I failed for doing 40 in a 30 - I just accelerated after turning onto the road but before it turned into a NSL, just went down as a minor.

Cheers for all the advice. Now looking at a bigger bike...

Well done

you can restrict any bike.



only difference is you can buy the bike you want now and restrict it to 33bhp for 2 years or buy a smaller bike and then upgrade.

i like the first option better as you'll be used to the bike by the time the restriction period is over
