Great video. Doing my DAS this month. Still find it crazy that to gain a full bike licence it's 2 strict modules that you can fail relatively easily and it costs anywhere between £600-800 to complete. Yet at 17 years old I could pay for a few lessons and after a quick drive around town and a parallel park, be fully licensed to drive around in a 1 tonne vehicle.
@motorcyclelessonsuk Жыл бұрын
Hmmm, it is expensive to ride a motorcycle, however the safety requirements of passing the test will be key to keeping it upright. I believe the driving test is quite rigorous these days, though I'm not a car instructor. It cost me the same to learn to ride in 2011 as it costs our students now, so comparatively I think it's a good deal given inflation should have had far more of an impact than it has on motorcycle training costs. Good luck with your training and tests 👍

@motorcyclelessonsuk10 ай бұрын
Hello, we often recommend students buy a 125 at the start of their learning journey. It is an investment towards your big bike, so long as you look after it, and usually can be sold for not much less than you bought it for. So it's effectively very cheap bike hire which allows you to practise what you're being taught, and makes the learning journey easier. Students who have their own bikes do find it easier so long as they make the time to practise, rather than just ride (there's a difference!). Hope this helps 😊

Turned off engine. Put stand down. Realised as I tilted bike onto stand that it was not fully down. On my own I rescued it, putting bike vertical and then putting stand fully down. The bike was never at a risky angle: I would not have been strong enough to lift a bike that was leaning much. I was failed for that: Your serious faults Use of stand Seems a bit unfair to me!

I looked at the gov.uk website. It says: Module 1 off-road test: what happens You’ll take the module 1 test in an off-road motorcycle manoeuvring area. The test normally takes about 20 minutes and includes: wheeling the moped or motorcycle and using the stand riding a slalom and figure of 8 a slow ride a U-turn cornering and a controlled stop cornering and an emergency stop cornering and hazard avoidance There is a clear diagram of the MMA, and this shows a rectangular area with a "Start" position. My stand error occurred outside the MMA, so was it reasonable to fail me? I had of course already demonstrated that I could use the stand properly in the first part of the actual test. Humph!

Annoying as it may seem, the test does not finish until you are safely off the bike, having had it fully in control at all times whilst on it. Sadly you were not fully in control, having nearly dropped it. It doesn't matter that it didn't drop, the almost drop highlights a loss of control.

No. The examiner will expect the candidate to be wearing motorcycle gloves. Thanks.

Hi Simon, yes that can make it very tricky. Keep working on your English as it is even more important when on the road to hear the instructions 😊
@techtinkerin Жыл бұрын
Just learn the steps involved then the instructions could be in any language as long as you know where you're up to. Just say ,' yeah okay...'😂👍😎

@@daveleaverdlI understand. I would consider getting a 125cc bike to practise on after you've done your CBT so you can work on your skills between lessons. It makes such a difference and makes the learning curve easier. The tests aren't scary once you've done enough practise and built up your skills. Remember the examiner wants to pass you, they're not trying to catch you out. Best of luck 😊

@@motorcyclelessonsuk thanks. I rode a 50cc for 2 years and a 125 for about 2 weeks lol I got one while I was doing car lessons but passed after 4 lessons lol. It's the money for me I know I'll be selling the 125 asap for a cb650r. I don't know where my anxiety comes from. Thanks for the chat

Agree or disagree. But as far as I'm concerned, bike tests these days are just a money-making scam. When I was younger, you took your test on the road with one guy standing and watching you. and it must have taken half an hour. All this crap now is just to con people out of a lot of money. I haven't passed my test, but I was riding a 250-cc for years and never had any accidents. There is nothing they could teach me that would make me ride any better. I only wish I had taken my test before they brought all this bullsh*t in.

Probably not the right channel for you if you think you know it all already... 🤷♀️ The whole point of this channel's existence is improving skills for those who want to improve themselves. Thanks for your enlightened comments however 😊

It's not a case of knowing it all; the old system worked just fine, and if there were lots of accidents, that's down to the rider, not the test. The fact is, you don't need to know a small fraction of what they teach you. I had a 250cc for years, with no accidents. All these different tests they have these days are just a money-making scheme. If I did all these new tests, I wouldn't ride a bike any different from how I used to ride years ago. All these different tests are totally unnecessary. My massive mistake was not taking my test many years ago before it became a massive conn and when there was one instructor on foot. It was a few quid, not a thousand quid; it's ridiculous, and just people are literally been taken for a ride, but I'm not daft enough to fall for it.
