bigtaff Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 Well, tried my mod 1 today in Swansea, failed un-fortunately, to slow on the swerve, my highest recorded was 49 kph, gutted. I was quite nervous with the other manouvers, but i came through them no problems. The only part i was relaxed, was the one that let me down lol. Still, onwards and upwards, got another test for the 23rd of August, so fingers crossed. Looking back, one thing i'd recomend now on my experience, use the curve to build your speed up!! (unlike me ) Quote
apatia77 Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 I had only reached 49km/h on my first swerve attempt however on my second I got 53 and I passed. Just give it some more throttle and you will pass for sure.Good luck next time. Quote
TeamMCS Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 We're moving over to metric so everything is in KPH now.50KPH is around 32mph. 3rd gear on a 125, 2nd gear on a 500. Quote

Can't even imagine doing it on my 125... Unless you have something beefier like Aprilia or Yamaha DT125 2-strokes... Quote

Felt like a chav in a Nova.The sharp corner before hand doesn't help matters. The observing instructors (DAS people) made the smarmy comment of, "well you changed up too early". I was sitting there thinking, if I dont change up my engine is going to explode Quote
