Tango Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 Good luck mate........hope the weather is OK for the test...... Quote
Hoggs Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 Good luck! Remember there's no time limit so keep your head up and don't rush through (as a weakling I did have to ask for a minute after the manual handling reverse bit!) Quote
soll Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 go for it... take your time MOD1 is not a race ... stop take a deep breath at each stage just to calm yourself.... Quote
Titus Pantus Posted November 16, 2015 Author Posted November 16, 2015 Thanks everyone! I will be leaving in an hour and a half. I bought one of those Respro anti -fog masks as I wear glasses and they steam up something awful. I have installed it and no matter how hard I breathe, I cannot fog it up!! All set and ready. Thanks for the encouragement, I'll let you know how I get on............ Quote

I have a pinlock which is great but now the nights are drawing in I do notice it really does create loads of glare (which is why you're not supposed to use them at night I know I know) Quote

Titus Pantus Posted November 16, 2015 Author Posted November 16, 2015 Sooooooo...... .............I failed today. Of all bloody things it was for the controlled riding in a straight line!! I didn't pull in the clutch when the revs were dying and I've no idea why. No other faults for anything else. I'm not dwelling on it though and have rebooked for the 24th of this month. I really enjoyed it though.F.A.O Soll and Hoggs, that anti-fog insert is bloody brilliant. Visor closed and my glasses didn't steam up once, definitely worth investing in, and for less than £20. Go on, treat yourself!!!! Quote
Hoggs Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Ack bad luck mate. I dunno why our brains do these silly things on test conditions!Will Defo check out the anti fog thing Quote
Tango Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Bad luck mate....... you'll nail it next time....... Quote
Paul-Kent Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Unlucky, next time you'll breeze through it Quote
soll Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 remember with every failure your one step closer to success. bad luck mate, but as other say .. next time you should have no excuse... Quote
Titus Pantus Posted November 26, 2015 Author Posted November 26, 2015 Mod 1 booked in for Tues 01/12/2015 and mod 2 booked in for 10/12/2015.Looking forward to getting on the road again. Fingers crossed all will be well, I'll let you know how I get on. Quote
Hoggs Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 Good luck! You'll be fine just try and get rid of the test brain-fog! Quote
Titus Pantus Posted December 1, 2015 Author Posted December 1, 2015 Passed my mod 1 this morning so pleased I am now making progress. Mod 2 booked in for 10/12/2015. I'll let you know how I get on. Quote
Hoggs Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 Nice one! Good luck for mod 2! Remember to check every road for speed limit signs / changes. I was (am..) terrible at this so really had to train myself to almost sing a speed limit mantra at myself to ensure I knew what the limit was at any time Quote
