Failed Mod1 -.-

I failed my mod 1 on my first attempt. However.. I booked it and treated it as a lesson. (as it's cheaper than a lesson)

1 week is enough time to practice. You just need to go out and do a few hours a day until you can do the test with your eyes closed.

As mentioned, for the slow speed manouvers, up the revs and slip the clutch. The engine spinning faster will give you more stability. Don't look at your feet / the floor. Head up and point your eyes the way you want to go.

Only pussies skid the rear. Squealing the front's where it's at...

OP needs to look where he wants to be going instead of at his clutch.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

Luckily our training bikes had ABS Very Happy

I failed my first attempt because I got cocky and went way to quick in the simple exercise where you must stop the front wheel in the cones..... I did all the other manoeuvres completely fine and the examiner was a little surprised (probably disappointed). Passed second time though!

Failed it once due to going "2 metres too far" on the emergency stop. But that's about it. I was very confident with it so everything else was piss easy.

Listen to your favourite songs beforehand in the waiting room or do things that make you feel good.

Pump some DHEA in your body and it will relax you.

Mod 1's are easy in a sense because you only need to worry about yourself. Ride it as if you were riding with your friends and I am sure the revs will be fine.
