Wish me luck! ( Mod 1 )

[kaz32]

Alright folks, got my Mod 1 this week on Wednesday, little bit nervous but confident at the same time, had mock test yesterday and most of it went well, couple little issues but pretty much smoothed them out.

Will keep y'all posted

Thanks

Kaz.

Good luck!

If the nerves start creeping up just take a few deep breaths

Hopefully the weather holds up

Luck hereby wished. Just keep cool and enjoy it! Don't put unnecessary pressure on yourself. You have many years riding ahead of you, so if you fail, you can just learn and redo it, so dont add pressure on yourself that you HAVE to pass.

Hopefully you will have gleaned as much knowledge as you can from reading, now just go out on your day, have fun, enjoy it!

Come back and let us know how you did,there are lots of "passed test, what bike" threads, hope to see you in one soon....Good luck

[TheArchitect]

Look where you want the bike to go, not where you think it will go.

Good luck

Again thanks for the advice and tips folks!

Hahaha stoker, 2007 that makes me feel old!

Have fun and enjoy it that's what I need to keep telling myself!

Thanks

Kaz.

Another little tip is make sure you don't rush into any part of it. I'd even ask the guy to repeat the instructions on a few occasions just to get a bit more time.

Good luck

Good luck

The best bit(s) of advice I was given by my instructor was about the emergency stop..... it's more of a quick slow down, as long as you don't get to close to the cones near the fence... take as much space as you need with the figure 8 and slalom.... and use clutch and revs for slow maneuvers

[Hahadumball]

good luck today

Let us know how you get on! And if you Pass the mod 1, its worth asking if they have any cancellations to do the mod 2.

Thanks for all the the help and advice people, PASSED absolutely buzzing, a was so bloody nervous but once I done the first couple manoeuvres I calmed down and just sailed through!

Mod 2 is next week, got my final lesson this Sunday so fingers crossed!


Thanks again,

Kaz.

[colink98]

Ride it like you stole it.
ride sensible and not like an idiot and you wont get 6 points in one week.

Nice one. Half the job done. Easy bit coming up next. Home straight.

[Tracer1234]

Nice, one foot in the door! Next bit is just a ride out with someone following you. It will be over surprisingly quick.

Bike bought or lined up, or just getting this out the way first?

[kaz32]

Thanks all the comments are much appreciated!

A was going to have a bike lined up, but after some research and advice I've decided to get this out the road first, thinking along the lines of a cbr 600f, just not quite sure to go with an earlier model or the 2011-2013

Where I'm doing my trading they have a 2012 600f in stock they said I can have a road ride once I pass if it's still available so let's see.

Thanks,

Kaz

[Johnnythefox]

well done, now the easier bit, cancel indicators, lifesavers and I'm sure you will ace it.
