well done

Its given dry weather for this weekend, I may be up for a run out around the peaks

Here is mine... cool eh

Sounds like your making progress.. Remember practice makes perfect

I thought the Mod1 test was a not so bad. It can certainly be easy with lots of practice and the main thing on the swerve is NOT to brake on the maneuver.. It also shows the examiner that you can handle the bike

Very good point

Clutch control Keep the bike in high Revs, Use the back brake slighlty and use the clutch just till it bites

Nice one

Why dont you just do the CBT on a 125 get that sorted then move on to the 500 n get the test done?

Take a look at this. Its linked to RJH where you can get all the info you will need. http://www.motorcycle-training-forum.co ... -test.html hope it helps and good luck for wednesday

Sounds interesting. Il prob be up for it

My module2 09/07/09 Arrived at the DSA center in macclesfield at 10:15am. Only half an hour till my test so me and my instructor nick went around Macclesfield town center so i could get a bit more practice. Got back to the test center after about minutes then parked the bike on their car park. We then went in and met Kevin the examiner who then sorted out my radio and gave me instructions about if i lost him that i needed to pull over etc.I noticed the examiner is going to following me in a car!!!!!! First of was the eye test, no problems Then he asked me 3 questions (show me, tell me) 'if i had a pillion how dose it affect the braking' 'show me how you check the oil' 'show me how you would check the horn' So i had a belt around my waist that was tight and it was over my pocket which had the bike key in. I had my gloves n helmet on so i was ready to show him, but the key was in my pocket and i struggled to get it out for about 2minutes, in which this time Kevin had walked off and was just getting in the car. I managed to get the key and turn the ignition on and press the horn before he closed the car door!! Any way radio check, All was OK So i set off from the test center. Heading towards Silk road which is a 70mph dual carriage way, I was told to make progress with been on a bike so i soon got to 70mph. My instruction were take the 3rd right off the round about. I did what he said, but the radio was not working how it was meant to be.. the further i got from Kevin the worse the radio was too the point that i lost him altogether hoooo f***k Well after the round about we headed into an estate where i was meant to do a couple of maneuvers but i couldn't hear him on the radio so i just went straight on thinking he not said anything. We got to a junction and he ask if the radio was working and he was right behind me so yeah it was fine. We set off again heading towards macclesfield town center. I came to a set of traffic light and i got past them, but Clever Kevin in the car got caught on red You can guess whats going happen now, i got further away from him, the radio was at this point non existent and i then pulled over after a couple of round abouts....... I waited at the side of the road, waited & waited till after about 6-7 minutes he was no where to be seen. By then i was panicking, ( what the hell do i do now) I decided to head back up the road in which he may be waiting for me, did an awesome U-turn went back up the road and i couldn't see him iv now lost Kevin in a silver car I went to the town center thinking IL catch him some where but still no sign of him, by now i thought well iv failed so no point in bothering I headed towards the DSA test center but on the way i saw my instructor on his bike. I flagged him down and manged to stop him.. He said 'How have you gone on' My reply 'Iv lost the F*ing examiner iv failed now' So we both headed back to the DSA center where i saw Kevin standing in the carpark. I parked the bike up and went into the center annoyed with the whole test as it went such a mess. Kevin then gave me a ear full about rear observations and asked where did i go!! I didn't think i passed until i saw him writing a pass certificate out. There was no Congratulations you've passed or I'm sorry to tell you that you have failed this time He said do you want me to send your driving license off for you? and that was it he walked off So all in all i was with the examiner for 10 minutes of a 40minutes test I now have my full license which all that counts

Good luck

awesome stuff.. get that mod 2 sorted now

id be up for a good ride out

well done

I have managed to download the manual so il have a good look through it Cheers any way

Iv had my bike on the road now for just over a week, all seems well but every so often it runs rubbish as in it wont pull when the throttle is open. I can go down the road and it runs fine then all of a sudden when i change gear or let the revs off for a bend and open it up again the power is not there. Its like the fuel is running out then after about 100yrds it will be fine again. Iv changed the plugs, blown the air filter out with a compressor.. I was told it may be the air flow meter if its even got one?? Any ideas

well done... I passed the Mod2 today ..

I got my set today from J&S suit, boots n gloves as they had a blue X sale Berik in blue/black to go with my bike.. My suit is very tight just like a second skin. Just need the stretchy top n bottoms to go with them from DK i think.

Excellent write up James.. All thanks to Rob Nick & Pierre for the training they have given me to pass the Module 1 with out any faults. Im sure you will do the same on the DAS test's.. And when we have the bike licence we can head up to matlock for that a ride out.. RJH all the way
