Failed Mod 1 help required
andy110885 replied to a topic in CBT, Test and Advanced Training Information
I certainly looked at the outside cone on my second MOD 1 test and it helped a lot, and I also found it easier going round it as a left hand bend swerving to the left. compared to the right (which i hit cone with my toes) look to the outside cone and you'll do well. Good luck for your 2nd try! -
Just an Update for all you lovely people I re-did my Mod 1 yesterday morning.... All went rather well, The swerve this time was a swerve to the left (which I preferred as I could do the Left swerve no problem). (for obvious reasons I blacked out a few bits on the below image) But I'm pleased to say I PASSED!!!

Thank you everyone, so today I did certainly have my MOD 1 test, didn't get off to a good start made a silly mistake riding into the test area causing me to stall (my big size 13s were just slightly still on the rear brake). Manual handling, perfect. slalom and figure of 8's, perfect. Slow ride, Perfect. U-Turn, perfect. Controlled stop, Spot on. Emergency stop, Spot on. But.... The swerve (the bit I was dreading perfection in training) HIT A FLIPPING CONE WITH THE TIP OF MY TOES!!! Just Wobbling the cone.... Equalled to a Serious Fault and a FAIL!!! was gutted and kicking myself on the ride back one simple thing caused me to fail...a few more cm's and I would of sailed through with one riding fault!!! Better luck next time!

If I can get a bike and pass my tests by then I will definitely join you all, failing that next year will be a must! -

you're not a failure, just try again, yeah sure it's another £31 to spend but keep practising the hazard part and you'll get there -

Thanks, I am sure I'll be fine, I'll try not to tense up, and looking forward to booking my course on pay day at the end of the month -
Hey, Anyone got any recommendations for a good set of two way radios for myself and a mate?

Theory Test soon.
andy110885 replied to Abraxix92's topic in CBT, Test and Advanced Training Information
Nothing to be nervous about, if need be when you're in there treat it as a practice and you'll sail through, let us know how you get on though! Good Luck! -
Hey, A dreaded newbie here I booked and passed my Theory test back in Jan this year, with flying colors. With which I booked my CBT course. I did a bit of browsing to find the best feedback for instructors around my local area (West Norfolk) and I was expecting to do my off road CBT pieces in a car park/ yard but was pleasantly surprised to find an instructor that had the use of a GoKart track near Swaffham. And I kid you not it helped me alot with not having to worry about the small area to work within, and I had the freedom. I hadn't rode a geared bike for about 10 years and was very rusty. But now that's all behind me, Now for the MOD 1 test. Basically just want everyone's opinion on how hard the swerve test is? and the other elements? I am going to go with the instructor I had for my CBT so I'll have the track to practice the MOD 1 test on, which I think will elp alot. If anyone has any advice that would be brilliant and I'd be very grateful.
