JoshRS Posted July 2, 2009 Author Share Posted July 2, 2009 birmingham , so quite a while to go i know i'll pass, it's just that i want it over and done with. hopefully i've realising the problem of looking at the white line will be the solution , i think i've had every examiner now though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lib Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Haha! I am taking mine on Monday in Brum too. What time you up? - I need to get out and practice!Think it would be good if you could book two in a row, so you can consider the first one a practice. Doubt that's a possibility with their timetables though. So the swerve test isn't so bad as people say then?Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshRS Posted July 5, 2009 Author Share Posted July 5, 2009 Hey,I've got mine at 10:00, how about you? The swerve is fine by the way, I messed up cause I went way to quick and my toe clipped it. Done it in the wet and that's fine too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lib Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Haha, I failed! I forgot to go through the swerve cones. I did it once but only clocked 49kmph (booger!) then next time I forgot. Whoops! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshRS Posted July 8, 2009 Author Share Posted July 8, 2009 b*gg*r lib josh.... dare i ask?? have made another thread regarding this but just so anyone else knows that was interested, i'm afraid not. not disheartened, a bit of a pain in the arse but i'll perservere! 4 fails doesn't make you feel all that great but i'm going to try of a more suited bike.anything worth getting doesn't come easy afraid to say the chap after me locked his front wheel in the wet on a er6-n. ripped the crash bung clean off and carved up the tarmac. was the blokes first time riding in the wet, but whoever it was, hope your not too shook up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lib Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Passed today! Yay!Bad luck Josh. I just went out practising the swerve and stop over and over on quiet roads. (as that is what I failed on). ran through it in my mind over and over too.Good luck with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Dude - Get some lessons!!Better luck next time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshRS Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 had the lessons, i'm fine! my track record begs to differ but it was the difficulty of the RS combined with my nerves on that bloody Uturn!i nearly got through on the ybr, of which i had 5 minutes to get used to the bike. i did the swerve too quick and locked my back wheel when stopping, and that was it. i did the rest fine and i could barely even feel the biting point!it's just putting it all together on the day, examiner said so himself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig170281 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Attempt number 6 will be the 1, then another 10 attempts at MOD 2 should have your licence for the new year. The nerves must be better now tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshRS Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 oh i know i'll be much better for mod 2, i do plenty of lifesavers and look before i set away, just to get into the mind set.here's how i look at it, 6th attempt, my nerves are much better.3rd time lucky, apparently not.6th time = double the luckit's garunteed!

YamahaWolf Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I don't understand the new test just glad I don't have to do it. Good luck mate you will pass next time:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lib Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 If you go in and do it cold (like I did), then it's just a sea of cones! If you look at it from overhead it just about makes sense, but from the ground... just cones everywhere. I would better if the swerve bit had a road pattern and the swerve cone was a cardboard cut out of a person that you have to avoid! That would make more sense!

Bogof Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I would better if the swerve bit had a road pattern and the swerve cone was a cardboard cut out of a person that you have to avoid! That would make more sense! For the benefit of those who still need to do Mod 1, if you look close enough at the tarmac, you can generally see tyre tracks to give you a sense of where to go! As the MPTC gets more use, the tracks should become more easily seen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
