I had my Mod 1 for the first time today and passed with 1 minor. My test was booked for 10:25am and throughout the whole week it has been constant rain here in Kent but luckily the sun was out and the roads were relatively dry this morning. I arrived at the test centre whilst another guy was sitting his Mod 1 on a CB500 and this was when the nerves really kicked in 10:25 came around and the examiner checked my documents and he seemed a really nice guy. We went outside where he checked over my bike and the test started! Manual handling was not a problem, then came the slalom and figure of eight which is what I was least confident about but everything seamed to click into place this morning Next came the slow ride and the U-turn which was easy enough. The controlled stop I wasn't that nervous about but I was worried about getting to the required speed for the Emergency stop and the Hazard Avoidance... I got 51KPH for the Emergency stop and 50KPH for the emergency stop. The minor was because the examiner thought I could have stopped a bit quicker for the emergency stop which I agree on. Overall it was not as bad as I thought it would be, and those yet to take the test just remember what you have been taught during your training and take a deep breath before each manoeuvre

So I didn't imagine it then I knew I had read that somewhere and just wanted it confirmed So providing I got 48K or above I would still pass but possibly with 2 minors if it was under 50K

Hi guys, I will be doing my mod 1 bike test this Friday (20th April). If I didn't quite get to 50 kph on both of the high speed exercises would I fail? Or would I just get 2 minors? I have read somewhere that if you are slightly under then you only get a minor instead of failing and just wanted to check that it was correct. Thanks, Michael

Hi Guys, Im looking to get a better helmet, ideally it needs to be one that has a built in sun visor and I like the idea of it having the D-ring fastener but its not a major must. What do you recommend?? Michael
