After having my mod1 cancelled last week ue to rain, I finally got to do it this afternoon.

Passed with a clean sheet, no minors!

Still really buzzing, was nervous as hell but just took my time over everything. Didn't help the guy in front failed (locked rear badly on the stop)

On the swerve I hit 51kph, and on the stop I hit 52kph, just quick enough!

Overall I thought it was dead easy except for the nerves - dopey things like getting the bike into neutral seemed such a faff, and everything felt dead clumsy but I guess it was all in my head!

My instructor had laid out the course really tight when he was training me, so the test centre layout felt waaay bigger and easier, especially the slalolm / figure of 8

Just have to wait 24hours and then book mod2, but I'm skint lol

Yup first attempt, 2005 cg125 so 11bhp?

I could have went quicker, I didn't look at the speedo once just kept the bike in second and judged my speed from the engine note.

I was scared to carry too much speed but if you have big enough balls there's no reason you couldn't go quicker, there's def enough space as long as you wring its neck, don't change up too early into second and just rag her!

One of my instructor's previous pupils holds the record at that centre - 67kph! Apparently the examiner said he near shat himself stepping out on her controlled stop but she managed it!

Btw cheers for all the support guys Smile
