For that price, you could have had a day or two's training PLUS the text included in the price with a training school where you are infinitely more likely to pass first time. Going into a test where you have never ridden in the rain is stupendous.
As for the wait between tests, when you aren't at work and you have your own motorcycle, go out practicing! If not and you have a car, practice in that or just go over it again and again in your head until it's second nature.
I wish you the best of luck with this one, but if you do fail your third Module 2 I would highly suggest booking a day of Module 2 training with a Motorcycle Riding School with the test booked at the end of the day through them, you will learn so much in one day that you don't even think about now, I'd guarantee it.
There is a reason motorcycle schools are there, so you can spend money on training and then pass first/second time rather than trying to teach yourself/get used to it with no riding other than the test/your riding and no professional instruction.
This is not meant to be a negative post, but spend smart, not more. Good luck with your test! ! |
While I agree there is a place for the schools, I personally don't feel like I need them. When I took my CBT I was struggling to get to grips with it. When I got my own bike two weeks later I picked it up very quickly, and have been riding since without incident (Involving another vehicle anyway!). I felt prepared for my Mod 2 and made a stupid mistake, the second time my indicator had an issue. Both times I would've passed had I made slight adjustments (something I replayed over and over, that drives me nuts).
When it comes to the test I feel like I'm doing everything to put on a show. I am always looking around while riding, I do my checks and never fail to indicate, but on the Mod 2 it just feels out of place and awkward. I consider myself a sensible and competent rider and I'm going to pass on my own ability. Once I've done that, I'll likely take some advanced training. Nobody is responsible for me failing, but me. ____________________ Ted : "Maybe he's agoraphobic."

Rain shouldn't be a problem, you lose approx 20% grip in the wet. Keep everything smooth and maintain the speed limit, if safe to do so, and jobs a good un ____________________ www.angliaroadtraining.com

Yeah, fair do's on both comments. Didn't really know what I was doing. And didn't see the 6 yr gap.
Just looking around for tips on chilling out on Mod2 - why is it I can ride 45 mins to test centre with no problems at all, then go to pieces on test? |

The best way someone explained it to me was - don't give the examiner a reason to fail you - do that and you should be ok ____________________ Honda cg125 J reg peice of shit ---> CB650F ---> 2016 CBR600RR
