I ain't busy on Friday, if you want a look around the area, watch you ride and whatnot? Did my test there, but it was thirty odd years ago, so maybe not relevant. Good luck, anyhow! Thumbs Up

BTW accelerate hard when you get to a 40/50/60 whatevs, IF safe to do so, he'll want to see confidence. Just don't go over. Embarassed

Be calm, do a few e stops bforehand with your instructor (if they are part of the test), and if the testbloke hangs about flipping street signs, stick with your first answer...

I'm sure your instructor will give you a 10 minute buzz around. If they have confidence in you, they have put you up for a test. Thumbs Up

Lay off the caffeine beforehand.
Chill to phuck, listen, and you'll be reet!

Almost the quickest 20 mins of your life.

edit; just do what Rogerborg says! Whistle

He ain't no trainee, bruv.

I've been suppressing the urge to ask which category OP is going for or how they're getting their bike to and from the test centre.

Unzip your jacket, show some skin.

It looks like Fisty isn't going to deliver - someone should.

Forgot to mention an important gotchya, right next to the test centre there's an industrial estate, be careful if you head into it as it's a 20mph limit.

Ayyyy! Passed my A1 Mod 2 (saw you asked about it Roger), only got 2 minors for 1 - Appropriate Speed, think i was going a bit slow transferring from a 20mph zone to 30mph. 2 - Normal Riding Positioning - was probably when I was going around a parked car and must've got a bit close. Hey ho, passed the test and just gotta wait till I'm 19 and I can get on the bigger bikes. And also need to do my driving test now.

Oh, you've done A1. You're aware that your license doesn't automagically upgrade and you'll need to do both modules all over again on a 395cc+ 20-35kW bike when you turn 19, right?

However, having demonstrated that you can do it the hard way on a 125, it should be a formality doing it again on a bigger bike.

Fairly certain they're not (due to Mod 1 etc.), I believe they can still be part of the car driving test but I wasn't asked to one (and never practised one either) Neutral

Sad it was an A1 test, and OP can't ride anything bigger Crying or Very sad
