Ashaman Jay Posted October 21, 2010 Author Share Posted October 21, 2010 yeah. rebooked for start of November.typical noob mistake braking that hard in the wet. just above freezing too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iWannaGoFast Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Ah simple mistake. You'll ace it next time. At least you didn't do what my mate did, on his 59 plate (so less than a year old) Black CBR125R and try the swerve in the wet only to lowside it and scratch the bast*rd to hell.

caretaker Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 You'll sort it next time and you'll also know you've had a real practice on the course before without any other problemsIncidently it is possible to lock the back wheel up and still pass as long as you notice it and release the brake quick whilst retaining control..worth knowing if you do feel anything lock againGuy before me did that but released the brake quick by instinct and still passedGood luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyc Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 I locked the front wheel on my mod 1 first time round but released it in time an only got a minor for it as I kept it under control. I still failed on missing a rear ob tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtaff Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I failed my first one by going to slpw on the swerve, 49kph, gutted!! You'll be fine next time, at least you know exactly what to expect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimmers Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 sorry to hear that! mod 1 is so hit and miss.you'll pass next time for sure as you know what to expect.my instructor gave me a useful tip, and it went along the lines of trying to imagine something resting underneath the rear break lever, that would break easy with too much pressure (the exact image he gave me only applies to blokes though, i'm sure you can work it out... ouch! but worked for me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyc Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 I was told to imagine squeezing out a sponge... Same principal tho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
