Mod 1, attempt 2...... Arrived at training school a couple of hours early to have a warm up on their yard in TORRENTIAL rain!! A call to test centre confirmed all tests had been stopped due to water pooling. Carried on and went through all manoeuvres hoping the rain would clear by the afternoon, which it did. Was confident, however was mega confident on first attempt and still managed a foot down on fig 8. Arrived at test centre early afternoon to clear sky. There was no way I was going to make the same mistake with a foot down so approached slalom & figure of 8 with much more speed, downside to this was I couldn't keep it tight around the cones. Did two figure of 8's and was called over to examiner "have you had a go at this manoeuvre before, that's possibly the widest figure of 8 I think I've ever seen", I explained that I had performed it a couple of times but wasn't aware there was a limit on space, "ok, attempt it again please and keep as close to the cones as you can". I could tell he wasn't sure whether to fail me or give me another shot, I attempted it again a little slower with no issues... Slow ride went okay although felt I was a little quick, and onto u turn. Once this was done with I was confident I'd be okay on the fast stuff, kept it fairly quick, shoulder check and turn and all was well. Rest of the test went well with a 58 km/h stop and 52 avoidance, was ushered to the gates and told to park up in a bay. Followed the examiner into debrief room "I'm pleased to say you've passed, not sure whether I should have given you another go at the figure of 8 but you we're okay on the second attempt so marked it as a minor". Absolutely chuffed I don't have to go through that again, strange how a series of easy manoeuvres can prove to be difficult whilst under pressure, roll on Mod 2 on Tues..
