Failed Mod 2 2nd attempt

[Sean1986]

Hi all. Took me re-test yesterday started the test with leaving the side stand down while trying to start bike kept on stalling when try to put in gear about 4 times until instructor said check side stand is up nerves what all over the place by then. So get out on the road and felt a bit more confident double checked indicators as thats what I failed on last time. Did the 10 min independent riding part no problem which I think really is nothing to worry about. Got to about 5 mins way back to test centre just heading onto the A1 of a up slopping U curve and noticed a van was moving slowly and coming to a stop a little in front and I think I must of pulled the front brake a bit to much and misjudged the slop and the bike almost crashed to the ground. Anyway had hold of bike at arms reach and I was that far up towards the handle bars I could'nt pull it back ( This is a er500 aswell so they are quite heavy and hav'nt been in that kind of situation before ) up so instructor said just put it down and pull it back up. Got back to test centre and she said u failled but I already knew then she also told me a bit early in the ride I rode through were there is diagonal lines in between two straight lines so that was a serious fault aswell. So I think its back to a 125 for a bit to get some more experience on the road and sick of seeing me 250 in the back. Re-take planned for some time in January and sorry about the huge paragraph lol

Might sound stupid but, is instructor also an examiner when you're doing bike licence?

Nope, you go with your instructor to the test centre and you are examined by official DSA examiner. But don't be afraid, a vast majority of them are really great guys that treat you like a fellow biker and not like another number in their book

Better luck next time....

I know its disapointing - I was too when it I didnt pass..

Just run through in your mind the points you need to practice ie (staying off the front brake when leaned over on a U bend)
