I was told that you can take the figure 8 as wide as you want, so I went via Cardiff (I live in Barnsley).

This comment happened to come up just as the examiner was speaking for the first time and I was thinking exactly the same. Meant I spent the whole video chuckling as he walked about looking grumpy. 🤣🤣

bloody hell easy peasy , only hard part is to remember the route .

[@jimwitt21]

The examiner will help you on directions, if in doubt about where to go, ask and they'll give further instructions

[@Elmantukas]

After all these years your video is still super valid and great! Done my mod1 today and was told by the examiner that it was a textbook example, cant complain about that! Watching all these videos definitely helped, many thanks!

[@Brothy]

Just passed my mod 1 this afternoon, albeit with five faults. I got a fault for going too wide in the figure of eight so just keep that in mind if you're taking it in 2022.

[@Bikersnod]

Passed my Mod 1 this morning! Must’ve seen this video at least a dozen times. Thank you for the upload, super useful

Passed the test, I'm positive this video played a part in it. Thanks 👍🏻

Thank you, have fun!

[@smickles9]

Don't use your emergency cut off switch unless it's an emergency. You can fail your test if you do

[@C9S1]

The bike was almost stolen / recovered prior to the test (as you can see the missing barrel) and the examiner knew about this before I started - so using the kill switch was the only way. But you're absolutely right, it shouldn't be used in that situation.

[@smickles9]

[@potnoodles4life171]

Yeah was wondering why he did that thought nobody else noticed

I had the best mod 1 and 2 Instructors ever at Burton test centre... Cheers lads.

[@bammyjastard]

Thanks for this. Passed my mod 1 today first time. Very anxious during my training day yesterday so i was quite nervous. The test centre was an hours ride away so i think that helped a bit. There were 2 of us and i was second. I passed with one minor. Thought id struggle most with the slalom and figure of 8. All went well. Came to the hazard avoidance and i thought id screwed it up. First pass, i was concerned with speed and completely missed the hazard. Apologised. He said no problem as he knew i was nervous. Second time i was slow at 41kmph. 3rd time i thought id let off the throttle too early, but had gained enough momentum so it got me at 50kmph. Phew! Very pleased with the 1 minor. Looking forward to booking my mod 2 asap and finally ditching my l plates and selling my 125. Im 50 so better late than never 😊

[@lucb6768]

Thanks for uploading this! I had my MOD 1 and 2 this week and passed both without minors. Your videos definitely helped, so thank you 🙏

Passed my mod 1 in Bristol the other day so glad that’s over! Your video helped me a lot now to focus on mod 2, many thanks 👍🏻

Outside the instructors house ready to ride to the test. Wish me luck, thanks for the video and the voice over it helps so much

[@JohnHarris-ri4ev]

John Reynolds did you pass?

[@oliveranthony7012]

Passed MOD 1 today with no minors (yay). Really helpful vid dude, you seemed calm. I was a bag of nerves! Thought I would add a few tips which helped me. 1.Get a good instructor - My instructor has been brilliant and all of the manoeuvres were performed in a smaller space than the test, i.e. cones in slalom were about 1 step closer together. 2.Get good with the back brake - Back brake is your friend at slow speed, really helps balance the bike. 3. Figure of 8 - Give yourself lots of room, and go a little faster (1-2mph) than you think. The bike will lean further and turn tighter (strange I know). 4.Look where you want to go, SS SS is great at that, check the video out spot on! With the Slalom, look at the cone after the one you're heading towards. As soon as I learnt that, had it nailed. 5. ABS - If you don't have ABS on the emergency stop, don't use the back brake. Moto GP riders don't ever use it. Obviously use common sense, if it's wet you might need to. But compared to what I practised on there is soon much room and loads of grip (in the dry). Definitely practise with cones closer together than they will be on the test. Honestly felt like I had so much room with everything!! Really enjoyed it in the end and found it easy (can say that now). Good luck to anyone going for a MOD 1. Now... on to MOD 2.

[@C9S1]

Congrats, you clearly know your stuff too and mastered it! Everyone's different at handling stress but being calm and collected makes all the difference, especially when you hear that gate slam shut. Really appreciate you dropping all those extra tips for other people, they're all very helpful. Especially with 5 - it's such a common failing point for new riders with little experience doing their test locking up their rear wheels because of that, and they don't have full appreciation that it needs to be applied gently. While some might not agree on 0% use of rear breaks for it, I guess it's a fool proof way of not locking them up haha! You should be looking forward for the MOD 2 then, it will just be a nice ride out for you - good luck with that

[@oliveranthony7012]

Thank you! No problem, thought that one would be controversial (no.5). The bike I was riding (Z650) was a twin and that has so much engine braking when left in second. Day to day I would use the back brake. Put to pass the test, nice little trick ;). Keep the vids coming, have a nice delivery! Olly

[@HalfdeadRider]

Can not see all the tips, only shows up to half way through No. 3 no 'read more' option, this tends to happen when there is a large comment from a mobile device and you are on a laptop/computer.

[@zyghom]

thank you very much for your video - it helped me a lot. Btw I passed yesterday without even minor fault - the guys in Farnborough are SUPERB (examiners) - very calm, motivating and ... human. Lets see what I will say after mod 2 exam next week ;-)

[@dave1772]

thanks for this, watched it several times before my mod 1 test today and passed - failed it last week due to skid on emergency stop, but this week all fine. This video was a huge help, especially the commentary. Cheers !!

[@C9S1]

thank you not a problem, glad to hear that!

[@maverickryu]

Passed my Mod-1 yesterday(28/06/22) in Uxbridge, thanks a lot for this video was very helpful. I was nervous about getting the right speed for the last 3 manouvers as during my training i barely hit 50kmph, but i would say that in the actual test there is a lot of space to gain high speed, so please dont worry at all, i completed the emergency stop at 61kmph and hazard avoidance at 54kmph. Once again thanks for this video, next up Mod-2 very soon.

[@5tevieb954]

[@Tuppoo94]

In Finland the handling test goes like this: 1) 20 meters (65 feet) straight on, stop, then a U-turn to the left, stop again, then a figure eight starting with a U-turn to the left again. All of this is done at a slow walking pace, using the clutch and the rear brake to maintain speed, and the rider is only allowed to put their feet down at the stopping points. The turns are done in a space that's roughly the turning circle of the bike plus 1 meter (~3.3 feet) in width and 19 meters (~62 feet) in length. 2) The rider accelerates straight on to 50 kph (~31 mph), then swerves around a traffic cone obstacle that's 8 meters (~26 feet) away from the starting gate and 1.5 meters (~5 feet) to the either side of the riding line. After swerving, the rider has to return to the original riding line within 19 meters (~62 feet) to go through the end gate. Counter steering is required to complete the task. The rider has to climb up to third gear or higher, and their speed is verified with a radar gun. 3) The rider accelerates straight on to 30 kph (~19 mph), then leans in order to avoid a traffic cone obstacle placed 15 meters (~49 feet) away from the starting gate and 5.5 meters (~18 feet) to either side of the riding line. After clearing the obstacle, the rider immediately returns to the original riding line within 15 meters to go through the end gate. The rider has to climb up to second gear or higher, and their speed is again verified with a radar gun. 4) The rider accelerates straight on to 40 kph (~25 mph) changing up to third gear or higher, then brakes to a complete stop without locking up within 12 meters (~39 feet). While braking, the rider changes down to first gear. After stopping and putting one or both feet down, the rider immediately accelerates again while avoiding a traffic cone obstacle that's 8 meters (~26 feet) away and 3 meters (~10 feet) to the either side of the riding line. After avoiding the obstacle, the rider returns to the original riding line within 8 meters. Stalling the engine is not allowed in the task,and speed is verified with a radar gun. 5) The rider accelerates straight on to 50 kph (~31 mph) and brakes hard and straight with both brakes to a complete stop within 14 meters (~46 feet). Speed is verified with a radar gun. If the student already has a car driver's license before the handling test, there are 6 hours of theory lessons, 6 hours of riding lessons, and a 30 minute theory exam with 50 picture questions about traffic situations, 15 about motorcycles and riding a motorcycle in general, and 5 about the risks involved in riding a motorcycle. The student can have 7, 4, and 1 wrong answer in each section respectively. Also, the student must be able to demonstrate or point out the function or location of key equipment to make sure that the bike is safe to ride. After the handling test, the student also has to pass a 25 minute road test in normal traffic conditions.

[@C9S1]

Jesus Christ that sounds hard. I knew Germany had quite tough tests, but seems like Finland is up there as well. Don't think we can complain about the ones we have here, probably explains the difference in driving standards...

[@wickedadonis8925]

A big thank you for uploading this video. This live video from your test was extremely helpful. I passed my MOD 1 test today. Just one word of caution for riders taking Mod 1 - one of my mates who took on-road training on a big bike failed his test as he put his foot down while taking a u-turn - he was very slow and lost control. Moreover, I think he was very nervous so don't let the nerves get the better of you. MOD 1 is easy and you can pass it!

[@HashiriyaSquadron]

My Mod 1 is tomorrow. You made this look simple enough, which is what I need. Good video.

[@C9S1]

How did it go?

[@HashiriyaSquadron]

ss ss Not good, dabbed my foot on U turn, and locked up rear wheel.

[@C9S1]

Two of three most common fail points (third being avoidance) so not to worry man it happens a lot! Get yourself re-booked ASAP if you haven't already done so as wait times in summer can be long and get some extra training in when you're waiting. Look at the comments below on locking the rear wheel, I've got into detail on it and other people have mentioned very helpful advice. With the U turn you most likely put your foot down as you didn't have high-revs in combination with good rear brake use. If you feel the bike is dipping having high-revs allows you to stabilize the bike by letting go of the clutch which gives you enough power to straighten the bike up (momentum). Also as I mentioned in the video make every inch of space between the white lines at the start and look where you are going in the end so you don't undermark the lines (have a tighter turn = more chance of putting your foot down) or overmark the lines.

[@HashiriyaSquadron]

ss ss Agreed. I wasn't feathering clutch and throttle. And speed trap was only 47km. I'll re-book today.

[@omugz9444]

Well...... after watching this. I'm amazed . You can see why it costs so much money to pass a bike test. I passed my bike test in 1975 May all that was required was to ride around a block of streets. The emergency stop was a joke the man stepped out on to the road between parked cars if I had messed it up he would have had my front wheel between his legs painful . Why the manual handling though.

[@cakey8399]

I noticed you have a different bike from the Mod1 and Mod2 tests? Did you use your own bike for the mod1?

[@luc1ferblack]

Here Are some helpful tips for mod 1. If you can do the test yourself its £15 but you need a bike. if you cant get a bike skip the following step. if you can afford your bigger bike buy it and insure it there is a option on some comparison sites which say test not passed yet or similar. If you can get one with ABS. get a friend with a full licence to ride you to a private car park and practice slow speed cones in the days leading upto the test. because its only £15 you can fail a few times and not cost yourself much money 1. get a trial run So you have a 125cc but want to do your test in the future. book the mod one yourself for £15 on your 125cc and go do the test. if you pass you can still only ride the same bike but it gives you a idea what the test is about. do not tell them its a trial 2. box to box If your bike is heavy or hard to push you do not have to push it from box to box in one move. push the bike straight back. if the next box is on your left turn the bars left and push the bike forward in a half circle turning the bike as you go . stop and push the bike back into the box. like a 3 point turn 3. slalom and slow speed riding turn the tickover/idlespeed up a bit. pull away slowly then close the throttle if the bike stops turn it up a bit more and try again. when adjusted right the bike will continue slow with the throttle closed. on the test pull away and close the throttle the bike will continue going so weave the cones in and out without the need for clutch throttle or brake. when you stop pull in the clutch. 4. slalom. look at the very last cone all the time while weaving in and out do not look at the cones your going through if you look at those you will get tighter and tighter till you hit one. 5. wear full gear or as much as you have examiners dont like people in shorts and shit 6. The curve and speed up. when you get to the faster stuff the examiner may say one of two things. 1. ride down stop and wait for my signal to go. 2. ride down and start when ready. if number 2 then great if number 1. ask him "can i wait for you to be ready and then go from here. the reason you want number 2 is because otherwise you ride down and stop at the curve you then have to accelerate in through and out to hit the target. if you do number 2 you ride down already doing 20/25 enter the turn and gun it out its a lot more smooth. if you have abs that is working feel free to grab shit loads of break on the emergency stop when you do the avoidance do not touch the brakes till you clear the cone. practice it all setup in a carpark if you can.

[@C9S1]

Really helpful bit of advice! On 6. what time (using my video as a ref) are you referring to exactly

Avoidance 46 51 emergency stop 47 54. 51kph is Min so I scrapped a pass. I heard if you a little bit off it's ok or on other bits put foot slightly down. If wroser than than that then fail

[@C9S1]

Lol. I've heard from my friend he got away by just slightly dabbing his foot on the ground and quickly bringing it back up, but maybe he never saw.

My theory test expired after I failed mod 2 and didn't rebook it for two years. The second time I did mod 1 the examiner was very lenient as he knew I had done it all before😂

SIDESTAND. Never kicked a stand in my life. Nice vid.

I was waiting for this comment, I messed up and never bothered corrected it lol. The joys of one take commentary

[@C.D.J.Burton]

good work and nice swerve.

[@jeremysumnall1075]

I've got my theory in a few wks! How did you best to study for it, did you use any particular apps/books? Thanks for putting these videos on. P. S on the theory did it ask many stopping distances questions?

[@C9S1]

I used the app Motorcycle Theory Test UK (The DVSA have an official app, but only for the car theory, there is a lot of overlap however). However the one I used is DVSA licensed, and is more than good enough. Yes, there definitely are stopping distance questions, make sure you know the numbers! No prob, check out the playlist if you already haven't + new Mod 1 / 2 vids every week!

I have ridden on my bike for 6 months, in a car for 16 years, so why does this make me nervous to watch this 😬

Used the kill switch to turn off the engine….then I noticed no ignition barrel 😂

[@MrLittledirector]

Thanks so much for the video. very useful. Just wondering about the U Turn in the video, should you use your indicator or not?

[@C9S1]

There's no need to, don't

[@JacobJ891]

Like it Like it. Good work

[@scrumpymanjack]

Great video. Thanks very much. I'm amazed that you can do the figure of 8 using the last yellow cone as well. I thought you had to pass between the blue and yellow cones. Also, what gear are you in when you get up to 32mph? Second or third? Thanks again.

[@scrumpymanjack]

@Belfast Blue yep that’s what I did. Also, leaving it in second really helps make the most of engine braking once you go through the speed trap. SOOOOOOO glad I don’t have to do any of this any more. Passed my Mod 2 first time about nine months ago now. Happy days!

[@Stno3582]

Please help I can't find the answer anywhere: Is a motorcycle provided for you for the test by the test centre??

[@C9S1]

hi, no they most certainly do not! you need to either use your own one, borrow a friend's, or use a school's / instructors bike

[@chrisbertrand5994]

Nice video. Very nicely commented.

[@iainwallington474]

Really good video very helpful. Did you ride your bike to the test centre on your own or were you with an instructor. Also the U turn is from stationary starting from the box where you just finished the slow ride exercise #4 thanks

[@C9S1]

Glad you found it helpful! So for my Mod 1 it was with an instructor, for Mod 2 I borrowed my friends bike and he rode it there. Not sure if the last bit you mentioned was a question, but that is correct if so 👍

[@iainwallington474]

@@C9S1 did the examiner ask you how you got the bike to the test center for mod 2 did he know your friend rode it there ?

[@iainwallington474]

@@C9S1 thanks it was a question re the u turn I didn't phrase it correctly I meant to write is the U turn from stationary thanks for helping me with this much appreciated

[@C9S1]

@@iainwallington474 No problem, and yes it will always be from stationary. Regarding the other question: they never asked me or questioned it no, I'm guessing they already knew as my friend was with me. In all reality, it's none of their business how you got it there - that would be a police matter if there's an issue

[@JIMWSMITH]

Nice video👍

[@WhiteDeathPL]

How did you get permission to record during the test? Thanks :]

[@sanu5308]

Great video and it helps a lot! Thank you! Can you help with these questions please? 1) I have an international license and do I still need an L plate before going to the test? 2) Are there any places in UK where I can do a self practice like the one on module 1? I'm currently riding my bike and can ride the bike anywhere including the motorways. 3) In one part of the test, it shows you need to walk the bike from one lot to the next. Is that the immediate next or 2 lots next to the one you originally parked? I mean is there any flexibility there? 4) Can I walk the bike holding both the handlebars? In your case, you are walking by holding one handlebar and the rear side.

[@C9S1]

1) Yes to my knowledge - if you really don't want to get them and put them on, it's worth calling up the test centre you'll be using and asking 2) No - although some instructors do use the actual test centre area for practice. I recommend buying some cones, finding an empty car park and making your own. The dimensions can be found here: www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/316690/motorcycle-manoeuvring-area-multi-purpose-test-centre.pdf 3) There is no flexibility, it has to be within the other area marked by the 4 green cones, the same place I did it on the video 4) Yes - you can manoeuvre the bike anyway you want as long as you don't drop it!

Thank you!
