Shirl Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 At last! I only started mid December but managed to fail 6 times since then. Off I went to a hypnotherapist last night after deciding it was only my nerves that were causing the problem. I was relatively although not completely calm today. Took my time talked myself through my problem manoeuvres before pulling away and bingo! I got two minors both on speed. 49 on the emergency stop and 48 on the swerve. My swerve had been an issue so I was sitting there between the blue cones thinking "please let that have been fast enough" Relief doesen't cover it. I am having a rest before Mod 2 and am just going to ride around the nasty bits on test routes for 2 or 3 weeks 7th time lucky! Never give up!

Miguel the Penguin Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Congratulations! I'd put money on you having much better slow-speed control skills than most newly qualified riders now I hope to be able to talk about my Mod1/2 passes at some point this year too. I don't think I'd care if took 1 go or 10, as long as I can get out there safely. (My wallet might disagree though!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
