Well folks the time is almost here for me for my mod 2, i sit mine first thing in the morning at 8.40 am, feeling a little nervous just now but i know as soon as i set of for the test centre the butterflies will start, i have about a half hour ride there on my own as im doing a restricted on my trusty 125 varadero, as we are meant to have rain im hoping that the rain stays away till about ten in the morning by that time i will be back home, either happy or sad, and its glasgow im doing mine so i will be watching out for the unmarked junctions that rogerborg mentioned in an earlier post, i will let you all know before i go back to work at 12 noon, what an amazing site this is as i think i have learned more just from reading peoples posts than i could get from some instructors (i dont mean any offence to instructors as most of them do a great job)------------Well folks just to let you know i failed,got taken on a route i had never tried before and fucked up big style, just as we left the test centre the examiner gave me the ten minute your in charge run and i goosed it,upon taking the roundabout i couldnt see the sign i was taking and went round it twice and since i was on a dual carriageway on leaving it i thought it was still a dual carriageway and was on the wrong side of the road so after that i knew i had flunked it and the nerves got the better of me and i ended up messing it up more, i wont go into details but i got 4 serious marks, the good thing is im off on holiday tomorrow to turkey and when i get back i will do as the examiner said--take some bloody lessons and dont do it off your own back next time, and to be fair on him he was really encouraging and reassuring it was my bottle that went,,thank you too everyone for the good luck messages and i will stick at it (im only 48)so just a little advice to anyone taking their test soon,,,get out and get used to ALL the test routes,,cheers folks..

Good luck. All you are doing is showing him that you are safe to be on the road. So do just that and you'll be fine.

Hope the weather stays clear.

Along with just learning right now this is one of my biggest things. I'm always late at cancelling unless I make a conscious effort.

I'm 50 yards up the straight before I notice most of the time Rolling Eyes


So yea,

CANCEL THOSE INDICATORS! Very Happy

He's either failed or died because if he'd passed he'd be here to celebrate.

He's either failed or has gone for a bimble showing off his bike without the L plates, Smile.

Fingers crossed for the latter

Unlucky matey,

You shoulda posted your results here though instead of editing your first post, then it would have bumped your thread Smile

Anyways, I haven't even done mod 1 yet but will when the weather improves after the Winter that will be rapidly approaching. Around late March I reckon, I really hope I can get done before 2013! I

n reality |I would be pissed off if I didn't.

Anyways I am getting side tracked Laughing

I am glad you are riding a baby Vara though, aint she the best?

Book it up again quick smart mate. (if you are able)

Maybe you can catch one of the few good days we have left.

Good luck to you.

Unlucky, mate. Although, if you hadn't failed for riding down the wrong side of the road I'd actually be quite scared, lol!

Get over the nerves next time and you'll be fine. Thumbs Up
