Passed Mod2 Yesterday! + Opinions on experience / training?

[Guest]

Long story short, I got lost on the way to Redditch, and was 5 mins late for my test, but luckily the examiner was a friendly bloke and wasn't bothered.

Passed with 5 minors - 2 for observation, 2 for road positioning and 1 for signalling.

I got lost on the way home aswell (stupid one way systems and bus lanes in Redditch).

Looking for a nice DRZ400 now, they're not everyones cup of tea, but I love them.

Anyway! What's everyones thoughts on training and experience?

I was riding my 125 for a year, passed my theory first time, had a full days training with my local riding instructor, then passed my Mod1 first time and Mod2 first time. I think the experience and training helped a lot!

On the other hand, my cousin did his DAS 6 months ago, with no experience on a bike at all, passed first time, and he's been riding for 6 months on a GSXR600 with no worries at all.

Opinions?

well done on passing! welcome to a whole new world!

as for training, any training is good! however,

that doesn't necessarily mean you have to do any!

everybody is different!

we all learn every time we go out anyway, or we should
