My OH hadn't ridden for 17 years..... he just got straight back on it and it all came back to him.

Well done. Good luck for Mod 2.

Well done!

Good luck!

Well done! Get your mod 2 booked!

Well done for passing Mod 1 - good luck with Mod 2!

I did pass thanks:). Only two minors!

Another lady biker on the road!

I passed with only 2 minors!

I have my mod 2 in St Helens on Wednesday, previous ones I did in Atherton. Any tips?

Bad luck! It is an awful feeling but keep going! I am doing my 3rd attempt next week.

Well done you!

Thanks for the advice. Now booked in with Stu from St Helens and Mod 2 is booked for a week on Wednesday! Third time lucky

Thanks - will be going elsewhere!

As some of you know I have now failed my MOD 2 for the second time - that was well over 3 weeks ago! When I failed my instructor said he would sort another test as I am only able to do it on a Saturday but said I could do it early morning at a push! Once my 2 weeks was up I phoned him and he said he would get back to me - that was well over a week ago. I don't want to ring him again!! Do I just give up and go elsewhere? I did my Mod 2 in Atherton and am thinking of getting a different instuctor and doing it in St Helens (someone recommended St Helens and an instructor on an earlier post!) Not sure what to do!

Any advice?

Well done you!

Cheers, thanks for that.

Interesting to hear that - I hadn't thought of doing it anywhere else. Problem is I would have to find another riding school to use their 500 bike - any suggestions? I know St Helens better than Atherton/Bolton. Some of the places I went today I had never been to.

Gutted failed it again!!!!

I got the same examiner following me in his car! I failed on doing 40 in a 30 and not being in the right lane at the roundabout!! The most annoying thing is that I am not failing because I can't 'ride' the bike but because I am doing really silly things!

Do I give up or keep going?

This Saturday!!

Will be going to the Bike Show so maybe worth holding on - thanks for that. Will check out the other suggestions too - any excuse to go to a bike shop!

Any recommendations of a good place to buy some leathers? (Any where in the North West.)

Thanks for all your responses - feeling better about it today! Will crack it next time.

I have been following the threads on this forum and learnt loads from you all - thanks! I just wanted to share my disappointment in that I failed my mod 2 yesterday and at the time was annoyed but ok about it! Today I feel really fed up and annoyed at myself. I failed because on the first roundabout I pulled out and a guy beeped me! I made a judgement and thought I would be ok to go! I knew I had failed but just kept going and only had two other minor faults! Gutted because I have to wait 10 days before I can do it again and have a Kawasaki ERF 6 waiting for me in my garage!
