polecat

yeah I would be tempted in this situation to ditch the car for a while and get about more on a 125 cos there is nothing that makes you more aware your on a bike than when your on a 125

me too everytime I cross a side road or car park or step out to overtake another ped Quick life saver then manouver at least I have stopped trying to cancel my Non exsistent Indicators afterwards

Great news ! nearly there then .......... How did you find it ....after I passed i thought it was quiet a good test ...before it was the most stupid $*~~~~## in the world

There is a diference between Making mistakes and breaking the law ? Failing to stop at a stop sign is no diferent to going through a red traffic light and had you been coming along that Road when the Rider failed to stop and he had Hit you of caused you to skid to avoid him, would you have been pleased to know he got a CBT certificate having Done so ? I think not considering all the threads we see about this very situation

Most forces require a Full licence and Mine is free as the fee is paid by cornwall council but they will not allow learners which is a shame really

Agree with you

Treating a stop sign as a give way is dangerous and as said would get you points . CBT will not give a certificate to someone who they condider dangerous on the road so I dont see the issue here ?

If you think its a problem with the Examiner you could always consider Going elsewhere to Do your test ....this was what i was going to Do if i failed again ! but Never give up because it is better to spend a little more on your licence than you planned to than to have waisted all that money for nothing !!

you could easily Drop stitches Knitting or forget you put the needles down and sit on them causing severe injury,get arthritus ...Need I go on ! From what you say I would say go for option B as said you will have to start again with restricted and you are nearly there !! Mod 2 is a Lottery and some people have to buy quiet a few tickets to win and I think you have just been Unlucky So keep going at least until your theory Expires ! Start a thread here next time you have it booked For lots of support and we can all wish you the Luck you obviously could Do with

Very well Done Sounds alot like My test I Did Go the wrong way twice as well ,lessons are Great but I Prefered the DIY method also

Same happened to me ,its So annoying but next time you will Blast it "!"

Have we had a price mentioned yet ?

Well done

All the Best Riders Fail on the speed Trap So Now you have proved what a safe sensible Rider you are GO and Blast it Through the thing And get your Mod 1 ¬

Well Done Both of you ! Goes to Show it can be Done If your determined

Well Its going to be the same for me now No garage so ill make a shelter.. Check out the My new bike thread where I posted a couple of photos of the Divvy its getting alot of attention around here because you dont see them so much ,everytime I take it out I get "nice bike mate" which makes me feel I made the Right choice Speedo may be working perfectly If I was going slower than I thought If not then the cable may need replacment as its 0-40mph then sticks at 40 until I slow down then its normal ?

Depends where you are and which way you are turning of course.... When on the Mod 1 course you are not in a lane your in a car park so its all imaginary and one could argue a cyclist could be coming up from your left if you are turning left or a car could be overtaking you as you are about to do the Uturn So what I did is shoulder check Both sides before moving off and only Right hand on the Uturn. Imagine you will less likely get minors for doing both sides than only one if you get an arsey Examiner ?

Well apart from the Speedo is only going up to 40 at the moment (or I am) It needs a full service so am waiting for a torque wrench to arrive and it does not Fit in the Bike garage I built for the YBR Apart From those things it is Awsome to ride and It is the Original Bandit If you want to consider a cheap option ...My insurance on XJ600 was One of the lowest groups Swinton said and will manage 55mpg most times,Parts seem Really cheap and It looks superb in black

Excellent..... It was sad to see My Ybr go ,If only they had a bit more power and didnt get blown about so much I would have kept mine ! Bandit is a Good choice ...Its a Big leap forwards when you get on a 600 and the Real thrill begins

I would advise to check first if your is able to do that. My is not (yeah, I know its chinese) but recently there was a post by someone who was was not able to do that on japanese bike. I have switched to 3rd as I entered between cones, did this long turn around 22mph and accelerated on the exit. Reached 51kph on swerve and 52kph on em stop. If I could do that on my bike you can do it on CG/YBR easily. Well, of course if you doing it on 500 just do it in 2nd Good luck YBR Fuel injection will not Reach the speed In 2nd you have to Go into 3rd as you exit the bend. Try it out on your bike on an industrial estate before hand and you will find out

I would have but was on my own bike

At least you know now its In the bag and as everyone knows........the best riders ALWAYS take Mod 1 on the second attempt

Well Done Alan Did the Rescue Remedy help in the end ? What Bike are you after now ......

What is the ratio of instructor to pupil ? I thought it was 1 - 2 when I did my CBT I was told this but may be wrong

I had to come back the next day because the DSA examiner was watching the CBT instructor and we ran out of time DOing everything by the book I had to go back the next day and Do another 2 hour road ride but it was most Definatly FREE
