KirriePete Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 As has been said, the examiner should talk you through it, but a study of the layout you're expected to ride is always good - Clicky link. However, unless you've got an open area big enough to mark out the course for practice you should really try to get a couple of sessions in with a good training school. Spend a couple of hours going round the course and you'll develop a feel for what's needed, especially the speed for the loops and the swerve'n'brake bit. The single biggest issue is not hitting 50kph for this part of the test, plus a lot of people still think you have to brake and swerve at the same time - Oops, crunch! - time spent with a trainer who knows their stuff will beat the speed into you and the brake/swerve out so you won't have to think about it. Just my opinion, I passed my test back in the Jurassic and my lad got through just before the new 2-parter came in, so I know feck all about it, but I am on good terms with some local trainers and see what goes on......

Gas up - Let's Go! Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 OK, here's a tip. When you carry out the slow manoeuvres (U-Turn between the lines, Figure-of-8) look at where you want to be, do not look at the cones, the road, the bike nothing. fix a point to look at in the distance, over your shoulder So, for the figure of 8. Look over your shoulder and move your eyes to the direction too. You will be surprised how tight you can turn the bike. For the U-Turn, set off look over your right shoulder, look right with your eyes and you'll turn well within the space available. Emergency stop - remember this, and repeat it to yourself "Front Break, Back Brake, Clutch, Don't Panic" never snatch the brake, apply diliberate controller pressure. Good luck.
