Worst ever Mod 1 preparation!

[mackemforever]

Just got back from doing my mod 1 and I've got to say, it was absolutely hellish experience.

The test itself was fine, and I passed without any faults at all, which I'm chuffed with, but everything before that was bloody horrible.

Here is the list of things that went wrong:

1) I turned up to my first test without my theory test certificate which meant that I couldn't actually sit the test.

2) My satnav broke on the way to my 2nd test today and I got completely lost. It should take about 25 minutes to get to the test centre, so I left myself 90 minutes so I could do some practice on the local roads when I got there. I arrived 2 minutes before my test!

3) You're allowed 5 minutes to fix any mechanical problems before you start your test and I took up about 4 minutes 55 seconds of that time. I left my alarm remote in my trousers yesterday when they went through the wash and it was refusing to turn the alarm off (I've only got 1 remote), after just under 5 minutes of trying I managed to get it off though.

4) As I rode into the test area my bike died. Turned out it had run out of fuel but it took me a minute to realise this and actually switch to the reserve tank.

So, all in, it wasn't the most relaxing build up to a test, but at least its out of the way now.

Nothing like disasters to take your mind off the test.

Congrats on passing
