I honestly felt like punching the monitor whilst reading this thread, i honestly hope ( demise )your riding is much better than your spelling and typing skills!

cheers huys, i got test on friday and havent done any routes yet , intructor if i want we will go on saturday so i dont totally go to bits in a unfamiliar area , im even using google earth to look at the town centres and teh roads around darlington lol

wells that what im telling myself to comfort th onset of panic for next friday

You think it makes significant difference or basically just listen to instruction and it should not make one difference where you are?

can u remember the roads at all? im using google earth to get myself familiar with area so i dont panic! did you go through town centre , i know im asking a lot but i always believe arm yaself with information and you should be ok!

hmm my instructor has not took me on any of the routes as yet, he has stuck to the local town...

would love some tips about the routes

Not a trick question therewas a time when pillion could face rearwards, not anymore...IMHO that takes balls , huge mamoth size balls

Well 8th April is Mod day, and to be honest ive talked my self through every junction, round about , traffic light, parked car etc. Even when pushing the bairn in buggy along the path, in the car, or just walking. Yet despite knowing MSOMPSL as its emblazed into my brain im very worried about failling, instructors says im ready , says apart from few minors im doing nothing dangerous. So im bricking it yet calm in one state, im even considering doing some kind of meditation before hand to settle myself. And just to throw more pressure on myself i brought a bike Kawasaki 500s GPZ as more incentive to pass, i think its the thought of failing and financial implications it will bring. just venting my spleen!

nice one hoping to pass on 8th april, so i can look at bikes i cannot afford to get!

Grats man! first time?

Lessons are going great, waiting to hear date hopefully 18 march then il bang in 10 hours of instruction and 2 hours before test, and hopefully i should be sharp by then !

cheers bud, nice ride out with a sat nav dsa examiner!

IN the current mod2 test, just what are you expected to do? you still doing U Turns? E Stop? or just ride around, hill start, angle start? generally just potter around make good head checks, ride at the speed limit dictated by traffic? Im only asking cos im starting to flap a bit with Mod2 expected to be done a few weeks

I dont think been restricted to 125cc will achieve anything from my experience going from 125 then learning on 500 was two very different worlds

hoping trousers are textile and armoured

Hold on let me get this straight, its doesnt matter if you dont follw his directions as you can argue you didnt hear instruction.... so if you come to an area your not sure about just drive as safe as you can , hell even if he wanted you go into the junction but you were unsure where to go , but you knew straight ahead was safe enough, you can get away with it??? thats gotta be open to abuse, namely il abuse it if i have to lol!

im game for nakedness!, can i wear a helmet though?

If im passed MOD2 and have a bike by then, il be there!

trying to get 18 march as it best time for me between 10-12 plus 2 hour lesson before hand. I do feel its insane the amount of examination there is for bike riders, its practically constructively discouraging people from owning bikes IMHO, i would love to see stats to see if accidents actually went down as of introduction of all the tests for motorcyclists. I think what would of been better would be for drivers to do a CBT course, im dam sure im a much better driver for it.

What im getting at, is my instructor says you'll be amazed at what more you need to know to pass mod2. Well i dunno how much more i need to know cos , i plan every approach, position myself corrrectly never miss headchecks or leave indicators on, never afraid to get up to speed. I know the roads after 20 years riding, i can pretty much spot hazards developing. If i cana do this mod2 after 10 hours tuition on the road il be beside myself in shame! Apart from been on 125cc for 3 months on road it should be just another ride out in my mind So just what else can there be?

Ta people like the emotes ruthie!

Thats a PASS people only MOD2 now !!!! BRING IT!!!!!

got an hour to go better get a wiggle on!

you can get the dvdrom in wilkinsons for 5.99, i used it and passed easy
