fraz24 Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Failed the Mod 1 today, clipped a cone on the swerve and avoid but my nerves where totally gone, sick as a parrot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barkwindjammer Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Next time try to loosen up, stand very slightly on your pegs (try this on a push-bike), and allow your hips to swivel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 Wheels Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 On all slow turns and slow speed stuff, drag your back brake slightly, helps with balance. Relax and ride like no one is watching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barkwindjammer Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Well done Fraz, and all the best with the next stage, controlling the bike I'd say is the easy bit, convincing an examiner that you've got eyes on the side and back of your head is a little harder good luck !

Rizo Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Christ, when I passed my test there was a bloke standing on a corner speaking to me via a crappy radio link. How things change! Not sure if I could go through convoluted process now. Good luck with your revisit to mod 1. My hat goes off to you.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if I could go through convoluted process now. Good luck with your revisit to mod 1. My hat goes off to you.... Radio link? Bloody posh that! When I did my test I went one way round the block while the examiner walked the other way smoking a fag - when he finished the fag he stuck his hand out for me to do an emergency stop (maybe he was just flicking the dogend away, now I come to think of it ....), couple of Highway Code questions and that was it. Fraz - just remember to do a 'lifesaver' every time you do anything to change position on the road and don't let the nerves get in the way - maybe a brushup lesson or two from your local instructors would help? Best of luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best of luck! Thanks for all the replies, I have a full days training on the day before my test to sharpen up the lifesavers, indicators etc!
