  1. Congratulations! Don't know about you but I keep having to pinch myself! (Passed mod 2 coupla weeks ago) Also bike shopping.
  2. Open the throttle as you line up for the cones, throttle off as you go through the speed trap, you've hopefully hit the required speed by then. Good luck! And a deep breath and reboot before each manoeuvre.
  3. That's interesting- my exhaust pops too after barely half a minute on the road.
  4. Bizarre! I've passed my mod 2 this morning, clocked up 6 minors, daft things like not getting in right gear at a junction, turning right across a dual carriageway at traffic lights, I stayed behind the line when I could have moved into the middle, could have been there all day, and didn't switch off my indicator when I pulled into the kerb. But, hey, ITS A PASS! No more tests, ear pieces and sales of lavender oil and Rescue Remedy will plummet! Found this forum and the experiences really useful and the encouragement too. Cheers guys Just off to take the l plates off my 125 !!!
  5. Ha! This was me 6 weeks ago, I was going to wait until spring too!
  6. You'll know your losing it when you try and put a head collar on your bike.
  7. Woo hoo! Great to hear how you're progressing and riding familiar routes sounds like it's paying off. It's all building muscle memory and thought pathways which eventually become a natural process wherever the road takes you. Great when you start to return off a ride with a big smile on your face. Have you started patting the petrol tank yet and calling your bike a good girl, or beauty?
  8. My nightmares involving yellow, blue and red cones are receding, I will never have to do a slalom under slow control ever again! Still not sure if snogging the examiner on hearing I'd passed was the right thing to do, but hey. Mod 2 in a couple of weeks. Thank you for all the good wishes ))))
  9. I am going to give you a good slap! Desiderata-never compare yourself to anyone else! How many other ladies, of our certain age, are even giving this a go? Of the ones that harbour a secret desire, only a tiny percentage will have the courage to try, they'll have a "oh I could never do that" attitude. So go put the kettle on, sit yourself down and have a good long hard word with yourself. You'll do this at the pace that's right for you. End of lecture.
  10. If you've got one of the devices that you can download apps to, then Motorcycle theory test or theory pro might help I used them to practice on. Good Luck!
  11. Didn't know whether to post this in this thread, or the Mod 1 experiences thread, anyway, I appear to have passed my Mod 1 this morning. Set out from Newcastle under Lyme at 7am this morning to Shrewsbury. rainy, dark, windy. Lovely. Start my mod 1 test, didn't put the bike in neutral when parking up, nerves. Course, then realised when I started to move it. Had to hold the clutch in whilst manoeuvring the bike. Very iffy and shaky but got the job done. Examiner explained the next bit, (the slalom and fig of eight. ) deep breath. Bike wouldn't start. After nearly going into meltdown, and after two or three attempts, the examiner got on the bike-I must have knocked the kill switch during the handling. Heart pounding now, 10 to the dozen, and bottom lip starting to tremble and thinking, well that's that over, I've failed. Completed all the other manoeuvres without mishap, parked up, and told that I'd passed. Think I'm in shock, bit subdued reliving the pigs ear at the start. My instructor can't work me out-his happiest failer then his most miserable passer. Going to make myself a brew, sit down, and have a good long hard talk with myself.
  12. Ring her when you land? Give her the "I miss you" milarky. The tell her to get the kettle on and you'll be home in .......x hours/minutes.
