ok, ive got my mod 2 in a couple of weeks, but no more training sessions, so i thought id post a couple questions here first, the highway code says that we shouldn't indicate when there's nobody around to indicate to, but on our test, there should always be an examiner, so would i be correct if i always indicated where appropriate, on the grounds that he is another road user, and needs to see my intentions, even if he is directing me. secondly, speed: this was always a big thing in my trainings, my instructor criticised (in a constructive way i'll add) that i was a little too cautious when approaching what i perceived as a hazard (low visibility, very narrow roads …

Hey guys i know its been a while since i've been here but thought i would share my news that i passed my mod2 DAS the other day and ive just been out and about on my big bike since then...got a few minors on the test but still it was a pass after all im currently riding a cbr600 in army green colours again heh but still tinkering with it now and again as its a fairly old bike had a fair few owners and never been looked after right at somepoint..... but considering its 23yrs old..... when it runs good its enough to put a smile on my face

How do you like this bad boy? I like original, but this is tempting. Guy wants round 3300 pounds for it.

l wonder if anyone can help me. l am building a special out of a '79 xs650 and need to keep the wiring as minimal as possible. All l want to keep is the ignition curcuit, horn and rear brake light. Does anyone have a diagram that will help me achieve this? any help will be much appreciated.... Uncle Rodders.

Hey guys, I'm on an absolute high at the moment - just come back from my Mod 1, and PASSED!! I can't even begin to tell you how nervous I was about this particular test. Out of the CBT, Theory and looming Mod 2, it was the Mod 1 that worried me the most. So, I can breathe a sigh of relief now, enjoy the rest of my day and focus on Mod 2!

Hi guys, got my module 1 tomorrow morning and as I know a few people here have done it recently I was wondering if anyone had any tips? I've watched the videos, spent the last few days riding round car parks at 4mph, I'm quite confident and at the back of my mind I know its only cost me a tenner to have a go, if I pass great and if I fail at least I know what to expect for next time!

Well, after years of threatening to do it, I've finally got a full bike licence Passed my mod 2 today so it's no more L plates, high viz bibs telling the world I'm a rider under instruction or radio's in my ear!!! The FZR will be insured tomorrow and I've got a week off from work, oh, happy days!! I'm looking forward to my first ride tomorrow.

hi all i failed my test today so feel a bit down.(boohoo)got a few marks against me as my nerves got to me so will have to try and keep calm next time. any tips for remembering to turn of your indicaters.(yess i left them on TWICE) cheers

On the way home yesterday at the start of my journey; an Audi in front driving poorly (not sticking to lanes/no signals etc) - I decide to pull over to buy some food, drink and such. Hanging about for 25 minutes or so. Jump back on the bike - head off - 5 minutes down the road guess who I am behind again! made me laugh - taken the guy 30 minutes to move 2 miles.

Having your Common Sense Hat on, would be a good idea Monday Morning Test
