Thanks for your videos Rob,been watching them for the last month and passed my mod 2 yesterday.Living the dream now or mid life crisis if you ask my wife.One bit of advice I would give to anyone is to not be to cautious about getting up to speed limits,my examiner almost failed me for not getting a f&&ing move on as he put it .Said he would rather I was a bit over the limit than under!!Also before the independent ride he told me to pull over got off his bike strolled up beside my bike,at this point I thought I had messed up with some dangerous riding fault , then he just said this is the independent ride follow the signs etc..

Test was today. Friday i received a text saying the bike had broken down and was unavailable for the test. Thursday was the last day i could cancel. Contacted another company which said they would let me use their bike for £120 but would include a 2 hr lesson before the test. About to go through with it, they wanted me to pay by card the day before the test but i said id rather pay cash in the morning. An hour later their bike had also broken down. So annoyed. Perfect weather for it today and i had no bike to go and do the test. Now to wait to hear back about the bike from my instructor and book a new test, although it looks like august is the soonest without cancellations.

Boris theBlade Oh dear, thats not good is it. I wouldn't be happy myself!

the shoulder checks at the beginning made me laugh, but all good. on 3 left handers he approached in position 2 and hence ran wide. other than that his observations, general positioning and forward planning were excellent. if i may humbly say ;)

I passed my CBT and das in a week without ever riding a bike apart from in a car park a few times. Very easy if you drive a car

So do you avoid manhole covers ? my instructor said, well you cant see them at night !!!!....thanks for video got my Mod 2 next week .

Passed my DAS week ago. It is easier than it looks. Still stress as hell :)

Really appreciate these videos, I've been watching a ton recently. I failed my Mod 2 first time at Darwen and I'm looking to rebook it but this time in London. From an instructors point of view, what can I expect to be the main differences? Besides traffic and lower speed limits? I'm feeling nervous as I think it's going to be harder in London as there's more going on at one time! Any tips? Cheers!!

@RJHMotorbikeTraining

7 жыл бұрын

You hit it on the head!! Darwen is Rural, country bends and national speed limits which if your used to riding in town then you can struggle. (I would like to know why you failed) its normally positioning on bends and speeds. London will be different, similar to the City in Manchester. Make sure your comfortable with bus lanes etc..... Keep us posted and keep watching the videos.

you sometimes do a lifesaver at junctions turning left and sometimes not, is this because you are sometimes in position 1 and sometimes not?

Can i do my 1.5 on my dirt back on the day

i got my mot 1 on saturday this week then thursday mot 2 if i pass haha its in acotland in dundee and im riding on a 125cc ksr code now and git a 250r kawasaki ninja :D yeah videos are help ful as we can see what to do and what to expect thats a good start for the lessons ;) :)

Probably more the fact that you want to make sure the instructor has seen you do it before taking off

I would be interested to know the sort of time scale generally expected for the das. I am doing mine right now and am a little concerned i havent had much time on the bike. Cbt on 700cc 2hrs off road and 2hrs on road Module 1 2 hrs training then the test (passed no minors) Module 2 2hrs training on the road 4 days before test and another 2 hrs due 2 days before my test. Having not ridden a bike before i have no bench mark and i feel comfortable operating the bike properly. I did however think the training might be a little more intensive and lengthy. Would appreciate your opinion Have enjoyed watching your videos

Thanks for the reply. So far the experience has been pretty straight forward and as you say my instructor is confident in my ability. I think prior to learning i have built up a concept of what it would be like, i expected it to be challenging. So far the experience has been pretty frictionless which i have found disconcerting. Test on monday weather permitting. I will post the outcome, again thanks for the vids, your module 1 helped a lot.

Great video, as are all of yours, clear and concise. I think the system of testing is wrong though, I think your instructor should be able to sign you off as competent as they do on a CBT. Your instructor sees you riding far more than the examiner, and the examiner sees you at your worst, when you're under pressure, and only for 40 minutes. I've got my MOD 2 on Monday and have watched your videos many times. I can ride a bike, but doing it perfectly on the day, who knows.

see when u asked him to turn left most times is it because he wasnt doing it properly or, if the examinator tells u same turns or manovers does it mean its there something wrong, would appriciate help started doing A2 :D

@RJHMotorbikeTraining

8 жыл бұрын

Not at all. Your test will be as much of a variation as possible. Your Examiner will tell you where to go, and might get you moving off many times, doesnt mean youve done anything wrong at all.

what is the dominant road position when riding normally? not for turns or junctions just straight forward roads? are you also required to use advanced cornering when turning at higher speeds, say country roads ,ie ride closer to the outside left of your lane for roads that curve to the right on your mod 2? thanks

@RJHMotorbikeTraining

7 жыл бұрын

Good questions Lee. If I refer to 3 road positions in your lane to simplify it ok. Position 1 to turn left Position 3 to turn right and Position 2 for normal riding. However the KEY here is to be flexible depending on lots of things such as obstructions, road surface to name a few. Bends on a Module 2 are not advanced standard, so again simplify it, right hand bend Position 1 if of benefit ie visability, and Position 2 on a left hand bend, but again be flexible. Examiners don't like to see Position 3 on a left hand bend and also don't like braking on bends. Hope this helps.

@leebanner1309

7 жыл бұрын

Yes it does, I kept my positioning to a minimum on bends favouring a dominant position but used all my 1,2,3 positions for all turns and roundabouts when safely appropriate. My examiner failed me for riding in position 2 saying this is where all the oil and rubbish gathers. Are you expected to ride in the advanced positions on your test? And where is the best position in the centre of your Lane for normal no hazard riding? Thanks for any input :-)

@leebanner1309

better question would be where exactly is your dominant position? slightly left or right of the centre of your Lane?

@RJHMotorbikeTraining

Oh dear so your Examiner failed you for positioning? Where exactly? Normal or bends? Was it a wet day? Were the road conditions showing petrol/diesel in position 2? It does sound harsh, however it might be that the particular Examiner/Test Center has this as quirk to the route and if so your Instructor could of given you a heads up? What did your Instructor say? Which Test Center was it?
