cypek Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Well done I had a problem with u-turn and figure of 8 but not because of clutch but just slow riding in general. Failed my MOD1 twice when I put my foot down on slalom But thanks to proper training on DAS I passed it first time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susieque Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 I struggled with the figure 8's til Rennie took me on a car park on a pushbike!! But funnily it was only when I was turning to the right, not to the left! Weird!!! Congratulations!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rennie Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 well done!I didn't struggle with mine cos I never did it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyc Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Plenty of revs, keep off the front brake, dab the rear if you need to slow down and look where u want to go is the key! You'll get there it'll click all of a sudden one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remy Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 I struggled with the figure 8's til Rennie took me on a car park on a pushbike!! But funnily it was only when I was turning to the right, not to the left! Weird!!! Congratulations!! I also struggle with right turns rather than left - and hubby (who is an experienced biker) says he finds left bends much easier than right! I'm also the same riding a horse LOL.Congrats anyway, it's always the slower speeds that are more difficult - but practise makes perfect (hopefully!)
