Slight concern + Mod 1 result + Mod 2 result

[recman]

Right, so, Mod 1 practice went well yesterday.
The usual slow start on the avoidance part but I was only a little under so it wasn't too hard to speed up a bit.
Quite impressed with the power of the XJ6 on the way to the DSA centre btw, apparently I had a grin like a Cheshire cat when we got there.
My main concern now is the awful cramp I experienced around about the top of my thigh area on the way back.
I tried the usual leg extensions and a quick bit of massage while on the 30mph straight roads which eased things a bit but now I'm worried it might creep in on my Mod 2 where I feel my aforementioned antics might be frowned upon.

Test is tomorrow, thanks for the banana tip btw and yes you're right, I think it would be wise to put the linings back in the textiles.
I've also just read somewhere that hydration plays a big part as well.

I did find the throttle very 'responsive'!
It made starting the slow ride part a little interesting.
I thought I'd find the weight difference between my XT and the XJ6 during the slower exercises a little intimidating but I was quite surprised how balanced and nimble it felt.
If you ever get the chance, have a go on an XJ6, the acceleration is awsome!

Make sure you get there nice and early too - so you have time to stroll around and get calm.

Also will help stretch those legs a bit so could help with the cramp during.

Very best of luck too

I'd put money on you getting cramp because you grip the bike like this.

Despite the wind and the rain, I passed with just the one rider fault.
ONE kph too slow on the first run of the emergency stop ffs, but then I suppose the line has to be drawn somewhere.
Ah well, I'm a happy bunny.
But my 'waterproofs' aren't.

Best of luck to ya! I passed mine yesterday, it's a doddle, it's over before you even know it. We were making our way back towards the test centre and I was thinking "hang on, it's only been 5 mins!"
