Throttled Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 For me it was the CBT as I really struggled to get to grips with so many aspects of riding. I am surprised I was given the certificate I made so many and repeatedly made mistakes. Thankfully it got easier as I went on. Quote
satnavsatnav Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 I voted mod 1 only because of the silly swerve test but i found it all pretty easy but thats easy to say now Quote
Remy Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 I'd agree the CBT, it didn't seem enough training before we were out and about on the road and I was not 100% confident! The main problem being bike control at slow speeds, I did it but some of it was on a wing and a prayer Quote
Bika_boy Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 Mod 2 . Failed first time on observations, passed second time tho, 8 minors, also observation. I think i need to look more Quote
whitedevil Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 I picked mod 2, just because its the most expensive part and it was the part i was the most nervous for. Apart from the nerves i found the whole experience easy. Quote
sparkeh9 Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 Personally mod1, just cos of the speed requirement for the swerve (poor little SR 125), getting up to speed in was the hardest part for me (Im not little )Also I found Mod 2 just like any other ride out with instructor Quote
whitedevil Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 I will say Mod 2 can be a real pita if you get a bad instructor, ive heard some horror stories posted on a few of the forums im on. Quote
Rollingskies Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 Definately mod 1 is the hardest bit. I enjoyed my test, I was sure I would pass and I did. The mod 1 though with all its cones and no feet down business doesn't give minors, it gives fails. Why should putting your foot down be a fail? I just think it's crazy. I got a minor for screaming the engine on mod 1 by accident after the swerve, got into a right old pickle with everything and just scraped through it. lol. It's the sort of test you can pass and then if you did it again you could clip a cone and fail. Quote
cypek Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 MOD1 for me. I failed 3 times but only because lack of training and trying it on an unfamiliar (my gf's) bike. I was really struggling with slow ride control. Then I went for DAS and passed it 1st time after a few hours of proper training Quote
hammer5 Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 The hardest part?? Paying 10k + on a hobby lol Quote
