LisaM Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Congrats!!! Knew you'd do it this time...My advice for mod 2, if there's room for you to pull out then do it, it doesn't matter if you leave him behind (my examiner was in a car...I lost him several times lol) Lots of lifesaversKeep a good distance from parked cars (I know people who were failed for riding too close) and don't worry about the independant ride....if you take a wrong turn etc it doesn't matter as long as you do it safely....I actually enjoyed my mod 2 and the 45 mins seemed like 5!

Redeagle Posted July 26, 2016 Author Share Posted July 26, 2016 Thank you I'm not so worried about mod 2, I felt like I was ready that well before mod 1! I found the mod 1 stuff bloody hard but I am much smoother riding in slow traffic now. I take corners and roundabouts pretty damn slow tho hmmm My instructor keeps saying about 'making progress' on the road ride. If it's safe to do so then 'crack on' lol. I haven't been filtering but have been over taking on dual carriage ways, so presume that's ok?I need to swot up on info about the bike as atm I know where to check the oil and break fluid and where indicators, horn & pass light is and that's about it.

My instructor gave us a good way of remembering how to check the tyres and chain.... Tyres- ACTA- air pressure (which is in the manual)C-condition (no bulges, tears, nails etc)T- tread (min of 1mm)Chain-TLCT- (tension again, what it should be is in the manual)L- lube (chain lube)C- conditionI'm glad I memorised this as I was asked about the chain and my examiner was quite impressed with my answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoggs Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 When I was practising the questions with my instructor he said how would you check the horn works so I said turn bike on then press the horn button here- but because I knew you didn't have to actually press it I just shouted BEEP BEEP instead. He advised I didn't do that on the test Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoggs Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I had checking tyres, brake lights work and what to remember if you have a pillion iirc I still enjoying shouting beep beep at stupid motorists I find it more satisfying than using the actual horn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redeagle Posted August 10, 2016 Author Share Posted August 10, 2016 The Suzuki Gladius 650 I've been riding is a nice bike but maybe a bit expensive. Maybe Yamaha MT 07, Suzuki bandit, Honda cb600. See what's out their second hand when I'm looking really! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
