Throttle blipping on test?

[HD]

It has now become second nature and we all know the reasons why, yadda yadda yadda.

Would it be okay to do it on my test, or will it make me seem cocky?

Or even better will the instructor think I am experienced

The instructor won't notice as he'll be too busy watching for your indicators, mirror checks, life savers, road positioning, reaction to situations etc.
I think the worst thing you can do is arrive with an attitude of "I know more than you think i know" as then you might miss something you're told or come across as cocky.
Listen carefully and do exactly what you're told. Do it again on the test. Then ride however the fuck you like.

Thats what I was thinking as I can ride by slipping the clutch as I change down but it feels horrible. I think the idea is, as you said, ride like a granny on your test and do literally everything, then develop habits (hopefully good ones) after the test.

Blipping the throttle for smooth downshifts, sure why not. Blipping it in general like when sitting at lights... No.

No need for it on a test.
You are never out of third gear much and you should be in a 'control' situation between throttle, clutch and brakes at all times.

Better to learn to ride without Blipping.
You will always be in a more controlled state and examiners want to see that.
Not how much you learned from Terminator II.

Behave yer sel...

Blipping it is fine. I did it on mine, as well as 2 finger braking which I was told is a missive no no.

I remember on my test I pulled away from the lights fairly rapidly on my 125 (BY 125 STANDARDS) thinking to myself you have to seem confident and not like a noob only to look in my mirror and see the examinor about 50 metres behind me [/b]

I did clutchless upshifts and blipping on the way down during my test...

Still passed and nothing was said.

Its about progressive riding not aggressive riding. Get up to the speed limit of the area swiftly, not mentally, and therefore distance yourself from danger.

FAIL = Stopping close to cars at roundabouts and traffic cars. Leave bike and a bit length between their rear bumper and your front wheel.

Double press indicators after each use to ensure they are cancelled. They will allow 4-5 additional flashes but if you pass another junction with them still on its a BIGGIE to them.

UTURN - Dont watch the front wheel.. (people tend to), pull off as you have trained to and into the turn, as soon as you are approaching halfway round, start to look at where you want to finish up, and you will find it helps.
