Module 2 Test Day: Live Footage

[@cutsordesigns]

Nice ride. Very calm and relaxed. I’m 52 years young and got my Mod 1 and 2 on Friday. 🙏..............I passed 👌

[@LukeW1090]

well done!

[@K_____]

Got on a bike for the 1st time ever doing my CBT and 7 weeks later passed both my MOD 1 and 2 with zero minors. I was delighted! Great vid!

[@surferchappi3]

Nice one and congrats! Enjoy the ride!

[@stevenmullen8402]

Well done are you still riding. How much training did you have.

[@K_____]

Steven Mullen Thanks! Yeh I’m still riding but no where near as much as I’d like to. I was doing one or two 1 hour lessons a week until my mod 2 was booked.

[@unclejane7453]

I failed my module 2 on just one minor error. I crashed through somebody's greenhouse. Apart from that, it went really well.

[@steve24822]

You had a smashing time!

An instrument that allows transmission that not only supplies inverse reactive current for use in unilateral phase detractors, but is also capable of automatically synchronizing cardinal grammeters. Basically, the only new principle involved is that instead of power being generated by the relative motions of conductors and fluxes, it is produced by the modial interaction of magnetoreluctance and capacitive directance. The original machine had a baseplate of prefabulated Amulite, surmounted by a malleable logarithmic casing in such a way that the two spurving bearings were in a direct line with the pentametric fan. The latter consisted simply of six hydrocoptic marzel vanes so-fitted to the ambifacient lunar wane shaft that side fumbling was effectively prevented. The main winding was of the normal lotus-o-delta type placed in panendermic semi-boloid slots in the stator, every seventh conductor being connected by a nonreversible trem'e pipe to the differential girdlespring on the up-end of the grammeters

[@devilmaycry383]

I passed my mod 2 last Monday 25th July, 2nd attempt because the lady examiner was in a car first time and was in rush so I made a mistake on the roundabout. 2nd time I had decent examiner who followed on bike went a couple of roundabouts and got lost a few times things went smoothly with two minors missing a blind spot check and not leaving a big enough gap during slow traffic. Anyways i'm happy that it's over was a great experience, freedom finally begins and can't wait to pick my MT07 next Saturday.

[@surferchappi3]

Congrats on the pass StormRider, definitely an epic feeling!

[@EinkOLED]

Passed mine today first time (DAS) with just minors on steering. Not bad for passing both first time. The instructor was an arsehole and followed me in a car, but he passed me for my good riding skilld (4 years of CBT riding). Bigger naked bikes are so dam easy to ride. Always listen to your instructors.

[@surferchappi3]

Nicely done, ride safe! My instructor was invited to ride with us on my mod 2, said it was first time he'd been invited to do that in over 10 years so a pleasant opportunity.

[@EinkOLED]

Paul Ford One thing I'll be doing tomorrow (after updating my insurance today) is taking my honda varadero 125 on the motorway around manchester (no more A roads traffic lights and long slow journies). After a few weeks I'll replace my 125 with a low insurance, used 500-600 cc honda.

[@pyroscot]

Nice one matey and nicely done on the pass. Did my Mod1 at Wakefield yesterday so now looking at what the weather is going to do before booking the Mod2 out of Wakefield also. I'm always a bit surprised when we're asked why we didnt ride at the full speed limit. Just because the speed limit is 60mph on a narrow 2 lane country road that doesnt mean we should be riding at that speed. Agree with you on this if you don't know the road better to air on the side of caution. I thought it was a nice safe ride actually ;-) Pete

[@surferchappi3]

+wheeliepw Cheers for the comment. Best of luck with your Mod2, easiest part in my opinion. Ride safe.

I'm absolutely gutted I failed my mod 2 on exactly the same scenario as you at 21 mins 20 seconds...the meeting traffic...I had same room as you and same speed but I was told I failed for muscling through 😭...only 2 minors for slow speed but rest was textbook. Congratulations to you though bud.

[@Mehfooz-k2s]

Hi. When you drove back to the test centre does the examiner tell you to park facing towards the building? Once you are in the carpark.

[@surferchappi3]

Ha, you're more than welcome fella, congrats on the pass, feels epic huh! Ride safe :)

[@scrumpymanjack]

Thanks for this. Quick question: can the examiner hear you through the mic or can you only hear him? Also, would you get marked down for stopping at every junction even if there were no cars? Not that I would do that necessarily, just wondering what the official line is.

[@surferchappi3]

Glad it has served a purpose :) No, the headset is purely an earpiece, no mic, the examiner cannot hear you (or that was the setup when I took the test anyway). Stop when the road and/or conditions tell you to; solid line at junction such as a give way, stop, traffic maybe coming or visibility obscured at an otherwise flow-through junction, stop. Basically just show the examiner you are safe and can read the conditions ahead and understand and adhere to road markings/signs and you're good. Ride safe mate.

[@Slacker1967]

Did my Mod 2 this morning on a 650 Gladys and smashed it. I recognised a lot of this route as it was almost identical. 👍

[@conradmason87]

That wasn't much of a life saver coming out if the test centre at 1:12?

[@surferchappi3]

It's a closed road to the right so the examiner says not to - it's a closed road (or at least developing) to the left too but they tell you to swing a look down that one. Go figure i suppose. The slight flick i did to the right was just habit i think.

[@conradmason87]

Thanks...I take your point, although you can never take anything for granted, when riding, in my experience, as my instructor used to say...'the absence of presence doesn't always mean the presence of absence'. Stay safe.

[@surferchappi3]

Very true! If I were doing that test again i'd be sticking a good life saver in there regardless, now that i have some experience, haha.

[@oznog123]

hi paul ford, if you dont mind me asking. how many days training did you have before your mod 2 test? ive just passed my mod 1 test and ive only been riding a 125 for about 2 months. i did 1 full day course and 1 half day on the yamaha xj6 so i was shocked when he said i had passed.

[@surferchappi3]

Congrats on the pass oznog, i did a 5 day course [day 1 on a 600, day 2 on a 650, day 3 mod 1, day 4 on a 650, day 5 mod 2].

[@a_wise_young_man752]

1:17 Did you indicate to turn when it was only the examiner behind you, or do you just imagine the examier isn't there?

[@surferchappi3]

A_Wise_Young_Man highway code answers this one mate - joining a new carriageway stipulates the intention to change direction must be indicated. If you were on a dual carriageway and wanted to change lanes with no other vehicles in sight, no indication is necessary as there's no one there to inform of your intention. If you were leaving the dual carriageway then indication is necessary as you are then changing direction; at 1:17 I am changing direction from one carriageway to another.

[@a_wise_young_man752]

I know that but what I mean is, on your test, are you supposed to pretend the examiner isn't there or do you consider him another road user?

[@surferchappi3]

I can't remember now but he does have a chat with you at beginning about what to regard him as.

[@a_wise_young_man752]

Ok, thank you.

[@crowzombie7998]

any tips for nerves feel like I'm gonna fail or fall off the bike lol

[@surferchappi3]

Ha, I dropped my bike turned up to mod 1 in the car park, first time for everything eh. Completely due to nerves. When you go for a ride you don't get nervous, when you go for a ride with your instructor telling you left or right or pull up you don't get nervous - it's the exact same thing when you do your mod 2. The examiner is just another rider like your instructor, he wants more bikes on the road to keep the whole thing going, he wants to pass you and just needs to see you ride safely and without crashing, you already showed you can handle the bike in mod 1 so just rinse repeat for 30-40 minutes without royally fucking up and you'll be fine! Good luck.

[@peterkenworthy9219]

Wow, quiet roads

[@jeremycubs8331]

Hi mate I know it's been a while since you done this but can you remember how clear the radio was? Were the instructions clear enough? Did the examiner say it twice? Doing mine in 2 weeks and I'm a bit worried as the one I've used in my training wasn't very clear, don't wanna be going in a different direction on test lol. Thanks

[@surferchappi3]

Now then, don't worry about the radio, it is the examiners kit and will be (by the sounds of it) a marked improvement on the one you are using with your instructor. Regarding directions and going the wrong way, if you manage to take the wrong road it really does not matter, what matters is you handling the situation in a manner that is according to the law and that you look like a competent rider. Your examiner will say "if like you to now take your next (X) turning" and you will do that safely, no miners for going the wrong way whatsoever, just handle the next instruction well and it's like it never even happened. This does come with 1 warning though, whatever you do don't go onto a motorway, if you are approaching one then safely pull over before you enter it - the reason is that you are unlicensed to use the motorway (even during your test) until you have passed. Best of luck mate, chill and all will be groovy :)

[@lavabuild]

Hi Paul, I failed my Mod 2 only on lack of speed. I was doing 50 in a 60 zone and 55 in a 70 dual carrageway. Would be interested to know how you got 2 minors in your speed.

[@surferchappi3]

lavabuild hey, I think it may boil down to the examiner, maybe he blamed speed as he felt something else was off with your riding, or maybe he was just that picky. I went slow for most of mine but on dual carriageways I was at 70 all the time. My main slow part was the bendy country road, a 60 but I didn't know the road so kept to around 50.

[@dale-fi1fi]

Id its a country road an national speed limit u dont have to 60 id say just dont drop below 45 an if he says anything just say u didnt know the roads an was being caoutious an to be foir countey roads are not well mantained! But 55mph ina 70mph zone i think thats where he failed u as wagons are limites to 56mph an they will be over taking you but chin up just try again

When a pal of mine did his "individual ride" being told "right, i want you to take me to (insert name)" and effectively leading the instructor, he did it for about 10mins and got told that was enough and moved on to whatever else. But he was on roads he knew like the back of his hand

[@TheCarlbrian]

hey, great, useful vid. I have my Mod2 tomorrow at Wakey. One thing, you say the assessor asks you to ride around for 10 mins. How do you know where you are going if you don't really know the roads there. I know them vaguely but if concerned i will end at some random area in Morley!

[@surferchappi3]

Cheers Carl, hope your test has gone or goes well! Missed this message so sorry for the late reply. When they ask you to ride independently for a while they tell you to head in the direction of 'blah' or follow signs for 'blah' (avoiding motorways of course). It's easy enough and if you go wrong it doesn't matter, this isn't a map test it's a riding test so if you go wrong just ride normally on the wrong road and take the appropriate action when it is safe to do so to get back onto the right road, tbh the examiner will likely say where to go if you go wrong so just follow directions until he says it's up to you again :)

[@TheCarlbrian]

Cheers, I ended u failing due to missing the big stop sign at one of the junctions . I was in the mode of being told all the time to be progressive and not hesitant at junctions, there were two cars parked at the side of the road and drivers got in, i was looking at what they were doing as they looked like they were going to pull out, they didn't so i went round them, got to junction, glanced right, nowt coming so set off whilst rolling. FAIL ! gutted.

You forgot to cancel indicator at one point.

[@surferchappi3]

Steve W good spot! I did forget and it cost me a minor, had I left it on just a second or two longer it would have been a major and therefore a fail. If I had left it on longer I would have passed the right turning with it on, wrongly indicating an intention to turn right where no intention existed. Lucky for me I clicked on in time.
