I'm so happy!!! I have been smiling since I found out!

7 minors in total.

Mod 1 -
E-stop was a bit too long, but was okay. I just didn't really bother to speed up until the last minute...kinda forgot really, then hit the gas from 20mph 10m before the speedtrap lol!...

49KPH on the swerve. Minor instead of re-doing it.

Mod 2 -
Left indicator left on too long (about 10 seconds too long)

3 x two close to cars on narrow roads, need to be more to the middle. (cars parked either side of road).

Too far right on a right turn. (Too close to the white line???).

My friend did the test today with me. He passed Mod1 no minors
Failed Mod2 because he didn't move off at traffic lights, as he thought he needed to wait for the filter green... Rest of the ride was perfect. So gutted for him! Sad

I'm so effing happy! I went down the M27 and M271 as a victory ride. Razz

Selling my Pulse tomorrow, and probably getting a gs500. Low budget n all that! Sad

Heh, very nice.

See that indicator left on to long? (about 10 seconds) that could so easy have turned into a fail if you had gone past a Junction.....but it didn't and no it doesn't matter cos you passed Laughing

I bet the grin is still hurting the chops as it just wont wipe off, right Thumbs Up

Congrats!

I am in no way bitter that they changed the rules to allow you 2kph under 50 for the E-stop and swerve...failed a mod 1 for 48kph... Laughing

Nothing wrong with a GS500 Wink

Well done! It's nerve wrecking I know when you've got both tests on the same day, but I felt it gave me that extra "push" to make as much effort as was possible - you really don't want to fail your MOD 1 and loose your MOD 2 booking money! Awesome feeling though when you get a "congratulations, you've passed" from the examiner. I was grinning from cheek to cheek - and still am every time I ride. Enjoy and ride safe! Thumbs Up
