OverhandZeus

So had my Mod 2 yesterday at Darlington, goes into the office to check paperwork, I was asked how a pillion would affect handling, went outside and was asked what I would check about tyres and also how I would check steering, all sorted onto bikes and straight into independent riding, right out of test centre and follow signs for Yarm down the A67, into Urlay Nook and Long Newton Ln back onto A66, along the A66 and a right at roundabout into Brampton Ln, whinbush way, Whinfield road, wellbeck Avenue, salters lane S, Haughton Road, McMullen Road, Yarm rd and back into test centre, felt a good ride, didn't foresee any major issues, had to leave helmet on until I got into room???? Then got that amazing news, you've passed!!! Asked if I could get any feedback, you had 0 minors on Mod 1 and now 0 on your mod 2! There is nothing I can tell you other than you've had a phenomenal ride keep it up!!!!! Wow so happy it's unreal and only had 1 lesson so didn't come much cheaper

Been lurking here for a while but finally registered, so here's my story so far, been riding motocross from a young age (now 33) and decided in August I'm sick of lugging the bike about, I'm going to do my bike test and do some green laning, so Sep 3rd I do my CBT, instructor says I appear to be a natural on a bike but will be interesting to see me on a big machine, so a week later I turn up for my 1st lesson on a 600 Bandit, 90 mins later through wind, rain and sun lol he says I can't see what I can show you and I want to book your mod 1 & 2! Ideal! Was nervous about hazard avoidance but my low speed stuff had been perfect, gets to the test centre and suddenly I realise I'm shaking! Oh not good! Sets away manual handling, slalom, slow ride and I start to settle down feeling ok, line up for U turn which are so easy, look to far round for lifesaver, panic as Ive turned slightly left toward line, snatch it right and put foot down!!! So angry with myself but it's good practice now! Hazard avoidance turned out to be easy so rebooked and last week turned up with no nerves and passed with no minors, Mod 2 this week and whilst I don't know Darlington, it shouldn't matter as I know how to ride. Fingers crossed
