Hola

[Bluebandit123]

So after months of lurking about I finally registered...

Took my Mod 1 this morning and failed, got through one and a half figure of 8's didn't quite give the bike enough power, wobbled and put my foot down *sigh* disappointed but I guess that just means I'll be spending a bit of time in a quiet car park..!

Also got 2 minor's, 1 for the manual handling (I thought it was getting too close to the cone so pushed it forward a little before bringing it into the 'garage') and 1 for doing 49km/h on the hazard avoidance...

Re-booked the test for next Monday, hoping I pass and that I get Mod 2 done and passed before my birthday

Don't worry, many people fail their MOD1 first, second even third time. I guess just think of it like a practice, and after all, a practice worth £15.50 which is by far the best deal around looking at training school prices.


Do you have the diagrammes? Do you have cones?


Practice more and you'll be fine I was using more revs then I usually do anyway just incase such a thing happened which was good practice for the tests esspecially since it is kick start only



You'll get it next time!

I failed my mod1 for not going fast enough on the figure of 8 too. Don't worry about it, just go faster next time and try not to worry about it.

Good luck!

Cheers everyone

I couldn't help but look at the examiner with an expression that could only be read as 'fuuuuuuck', it was the worst feeling ever so I sure as hell don't want it to happen again

[Rogerborg]

Eh, you were statistically like to fail the first one, women have a lower pass rate on mod 1 (but a higher on mod 2!). I don't know why, but I'd venture a guess that it's down to not giving it enough beans. As I have to keep reminding the missus, grip it and twist it like you mean it.

Why, no, she's not learning to ride a bike.

I took a tape measure to the local empty car park, and checked the width of the spaces, then used distances slightly less than the allowed ones on the Mod1 test to practice, on the basis that if I knew I could do it in less space, I should be rock solid in my own mind that I can do it in the space allowed on the test.
