Passed!
Manoeuvre pass
Slalom pass
Figure of 8 pass
Speed test had 3 attempts to get this right didn’t go round the cones at the end of car park correctly, as I live in wales and this was Burton the examiner thought it was funny lol
Once I understood exactly what cones I passed the other tests.
Opened the gate and pointed me out of car park and told me to park my bike.
He said you’ve passed want to get rid of you.
At least he had a sense of humour more than can be said for my instructor.
I guess he’s realised I can handle a bike but not good with cones!!

Great well done! Suppose as long as you miss the cones and don’t knock them over they can’t knock you down for not going the correct way?
Anyhow, take the pass and move on, congrats!

I was worried too, just did everything instructor asked and concentrate.
It’s not that bad just a ride really.
Soon over.

Picked this up last month after passing my MOD 2 in June. Keen eyes will notice the lowered rear drop link, now put back to standard.

Arrow can sounds great; it's a blast!

Any tips for MOD2 in the rain……..

Assume increase stopping distances with the car in front. What about general speed?
