Another Mod1 Passee!!

[thepuma]

Passed my Mod 1 at 8.15 this morning. I'm pleased as punch.

Did get one minor , so didn't get that 100% I was hoping for, but who cares!

I got my minor mark for not stopping quick enough on the Emergency Stop. To be honest I knew I wasn't stopping quick enough, but it had just started to rain slightly and with the number of people I've been hearing that failed for locking the rear wheel up, I just hedged my bets and took the minor rather than lock up and instant fail.

I did have a funny senior moment though right at the start. I made my way over to the manual handling green cones, parked up etc, then when he said to begin moving the bike to the other green cones by hand, for some bizarre reason I got back on the bike...hahahaha....then I thought to myself immediately 'what the F*ck am I doing?' , then got off and did the section fine. I bet the examiner thought 'what is he doing?' - I just put it down to nerves.

Now I've just gotta book the Mod2....in two minds wether or not to do it without training (like I did with Mod1) or book in for a day?

Well done mate!

I done my mod 2 without any training, as long as you're a safe rider, you remember to cancel those indicators and do those lifesavers properly then you'll be fine! I did do a few hours practice with a friend that had previously completed his mod 2, but other than that I was on my own!

Best of luck mate!

Well done gent!

For Mod 2, you might want to consider a lesson beforehand. Sure if you fail and have to rebook you'll still be quids in but I'd be mindful of the amount of people trying to get test places. Having said this you'd probably still have time to rebook if needed. Good luck.

Yeah! Get in! Another member of the Mod 1 passee group! Yay us! Just one minor is FAB, I win for zero though Hehe only kidding, good luck with the Mod 2 - I'd personally invest in just one lesson to check you're doing everything at the right time and haven't got into any bad habits

Oh, while I remember....if anyone's interested whose thinking of doing their Mod1...I have some coloured cones and distance marker string for practising the Mod1 manoeuvres on a car park, if you want them you can have them, you'd just need to pay for the postage, which I'd imagine would only be a couple of quid.

Well worth having them to practice as it obviously didn't do me any harm.....let me know if youre interested. ::

Well done on the pass

I nearly messed up on my E-Stop. Went too slow first time (47kph) then on 2nd attempt went 62kph. He said I was a hairs breadth of not stopping in time

But hey a pass is a pass
