Quentin Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I had my module one today and passed with no minors I thought i'd write a little about it as I know myself I had an odd apprehension of it!I saw 4 people take it before me, 3 passed and 1 failed as he kept the throttle open during his emergency stop and nearly went through a fence, the examiner made him push the bike out rather than ride it!The main thing I did was over exaggerate left & right life savers before doing ANYTHING! One guy got a minor for not doing life savers when he set off to go through the gate and another forgot to do em when his test had ended and was riding out of the test area.So yeah my test started and I did all the life savers (despite the fact my bike was backed into a parking bay against a wall) went through the gate and the examiner told me what he wanted me to do (they only tell you what you have to do next maneuver) and showed me a map. Pushing my bike from one box to another was really easy as its light and i'm pretty tall. I then got on my bike as the examiner told me about the slalom and figure of 8 (which are the only two consecutive ones) He told me not to worry keeping count of my figures of 8 as he'd signal when he'd seen enough.Again I stopped while I had the swerve explained to me. I built my speed up to around 20mph for the corner and then just gave it a whole load of throttle when I got up straight. The swerve part of it kinda just happened, its all really clear what cones to go through. When I stopped in t' box I asked what speed I reached and i'd got 47kpmUn deterred I executed a fine U turn and then managed to stay behind his clip board as he walked excruciatingly slow. As I wasn't fast enough for my first swerve I thought I better give it some more on my emergency stop and ended up clocking 57kph. The stop was ok, I didn't think I stopped quick enough but apparently its more about being controlled than stopping at any cost. I was then asked if I wanted another go at t' swerve and clocked up 57kph again. I did find that the box I had to stop in came at me pretty quick but I could easily have stopped safely before the box.After that the examiner went t' open t' gate and ,after a pair of pantomime life savers, I rode out and parked up.Module 2 here I come!
