Tips For Passing Your Bike Test. MotoVlog #2

[@deanwalker4923]

Passed my mod 1 today. The guy before me lost it on the swerve test!! Grabbed a handful of front brake in the wet and ended up in an ambulance!!

[@Omfgwhtavid]

If anyone is nervous about the swerve then look up "counter steering" and have a play about with it, even on a peddle bike. I found that to be the easiest and most natural part of the test since it was something I had previously learnt to understand.

[@mattwuk]

I also bought a 125 before my CBT and 800 before my test lol. The best tip anyone could take from your vid is 'ride with confidence' that's a great tip. Good vid dude.

[@Zel0978]

Helpful tips, got mod 2 on Wednesday - thanks for taking the time to make the vid - it's settled the nerves! :) All the best!

[@chris-ip4pk]

Passed my mod 2, 3 months ago easy peasy loving my ninja makes me smile every time I ride.. Nice video hope it helps people out.. Safe riding.. And yeah not getting stuck in traffic is awesome

[@futurewdt]

I have my DAS course on Monday 20th May 2019. Really nervous but also feeling excited. Thanks for the tips and the confidence boost, will report back after and let you guys know how it went!

[@ksmgmedia]

Did you pass dude?

[@spook-jl2yk]

thanks for the info that you have supplied, as got my bike test on the 28th of this month, must of mit, i am a little worried but like you said go out there and just enjoy it. great help CHEERS bud. keep safe

[@fixyourmac]

Thank you for a great video. I am off to Brighton on Wednesday for my five day course and have my MOD 1 and 2 on the same morning. I didn't think about doing them separately but I guess that's because I'm coming from London and my school thought it best to do them together, so the tests are Feb 13th, both in the morning. I took my car test back in 1979 and have only just decided to take up motorcycling at 55. There's not much that makes me nervous but this certainly is that's for sure. I'm hoping that over 30 years of driving will be a good base. Fingers and Toes crossed! Cheers, Mark. :)

[@Hawks1980]

Great tips. Doing my CBT and Mod1 over the summer so found this very useful. Thanks mate. Subbed.

[@noimspartacus9419]

Thanks for sharing this with us. I start my DAS Course next week and although ive been riding for a year now i and can ride well. im still nervous about doing the Mod 1 and MOD 2. Thanks again mate.

[@Tungstencube66]

Cheers mate, been bricking it but feel better now

[@jaycooljay78]

Nice one, great video! passed my theory today and have my MOD 1 in a few weeks!

[@devilmaycry383]

Good positive vibe thanks! I hope to pass when I take my mod 1 end of the month.

[@jameswhite5038]

Thanks for the video mate, passed theory, CBT, mod 1 and 2 first time, made up 👍👍👍

[@sobek]

Doing my DAS soon (did a CBT last year and had a 125 for a while but went for a full car license first instead)...funny thing is I feel more nervous about the mod 1 test than the mod 2

[@peaceman146]

one of the best informative vids I have watched and I have watched a lot

[@gremlin2288]

Thanks man great vid very positive, Got my mod 2 first thing tomorrow gonna try and keep on top of the nerves.;) and have put a deposit down on a triumph street triple but no pressure :0

[@danju07]

I downloaded a handful of Apps onto my android phone, which were motorcycle theory questions. just keep doing the mock tests until you are familiar with all the questions asked. Theres a mock hazard perception test on the DVA site. Plus you've got to have passed the theory test before you can go in for module 1 or 2 bike tests.

[@shogunedpada4293]

cool video thx for the info. i hope to have all my tests done for next summer. Not sure wither to get a harley iron cruiser or a supersports 600cc?

[@_S0S0]

+Shogun edpada Doing my test next summer too.. Getting a Harley Iron 883. GoodLuck!

[@glasgowharleyrider]

Cheers for tips. Mod1 practice then test next weekend here in Glasgow . Fingers crossed

[@drewsiff123]

Great video! I am just about to start on my journey to pass my test and I found your vid very helpful. Thank you. :-)

[@NELLYEMMS]

Good old Naaarwich boy. Nice to see my old city on the vid. Thanks for the advice... theory tomorrow and course starts next week.

[@HerrRonin]

I was looking at those roads going, they look familiar, good to see a Norwich lad!

[@ThrillsOfLife]

***** Haha thanks!

[@danelectro68]

+Herr Ronin Same here!!!!!! Great video :-)

[@Beowulf_98]

Herr Ronin yeah Norwich woohoo. I've got my module 2 on Wednesday, looking forward to it but a bit nervous. 😃😄😩

[@HalfdeadRider]

Norwich crew woop woop! lol

[@sadlerstudios466]

Doing my A2 soon 😬 any idea of where to practice the theory and hazard? I passed my car test 2 years ago so Not sure if it’s similar. I’m also from Norwich 😊

[@00DjChris00]

Hi there I got My Mod 2 on Wed 6th. So excited. Also with Top Notch. thx for video. good job man

[@markseale3235]

great video thanks for that. before you passed your test had you had any biking experience? and how long did it take you to pass. I've got no previous motorcycle experience but have 20 plus yrs driving a car.

[@joeferns1980]

Thanks soooooo much for the SUPURB video ThrillsOfLife. Its Just like the cherry on the cake for my Mod 1 and 2 which will both be on the 7th of June. I have been riding for years but have to do every thing from scratch cause I am new to UK well actually 3 years flew by. Have been polishing my " Flying Brick" for the past 6 weeks and just cant waite to ride her :(

[@craigh2299]

Nice reassuring video for me 🖒 Booked my theory yesterday so nice to hear some sound advice, Thanks

[@thejtkirk2072]

Craig Hancox Pass rate for men on mod 1 is 80%,90% on mod.2.Women are 80% on mod 2 but only 50% on mod 1-not aggressive enough on the high speed manoeuvres.So the odds are in your favour.

[@coreyatkinson2534]

great video thanks I get nervous just watching the test videos on here

[@ivia7vgo]

I have my mod 2 on the 29th and I feel as if this is really going to help thank you!

[@Glories999]

Did you pass?

[@sosatisfy1331]

Hey dude do you need your own motorcycle for the a2 license or do they provide

[@shaunbarker9201]

Thanks for all the tips. Great video, I subbed as well. Mod 1 training starting March 12th 2018. I will post my results on both modules on how I did.

[@JohnBarrets]

Hi mate! You should do a vlog about your protective gear! That would be awesome! Thanks and keep up the good work! ;)

[@pauljeffries]

Good video, very informative, i passed my test first time last January, it's a great feeling 😊

[@therealmrcheese]

failed twice now, first time was bit harsh I though, was pissing down with rain and I slightly skidded the back wheel as I came to a, stop on the emergency stop! second time was completely my fault, was so nervous I messed up my approach to the slalom and put my foot down! grrrrr so yea not as easy as you say when nerves come into play!! got test today at 2.35! wish me luck! lol

[@ThrillsOfLife]

Good luck today

[@MrRiingo]

+therealmrcheese Did you pass?

[@therealmrcheese]

+WhiteRhiino certainly did!!! happy dayz!

[@MrRiingo]

Great, well done!! :)

[@devilmaycry383]

+therealmrcheese third time lucky well done! I'm doing mine end of the month hope I pass.

[@gary9732]

what a great guy thanks for the video

[@ShadowBiker112]

Failed my mod 2 yesterday, disappointed but not at the same time as I know I can ride. Had my mod 1 in the morning and passed with one minor for going 48kmh on the e-break. The company put me on a fast track course so 2 days training, mod 1 then Mod 2 after lunch on the 3rd day. Failed because on a narrow road, pulled behind a parked car to let an oncoming car pass and as I went to pull away....I stalled the bike (but still kept control of it). Knew at the point I had failed and I think I let it affect the rest of the ride as I ended up indicating left while entering a round about going straight. 2 things I never did once while on my training so I think nerves got the better of me. Ho hum, booked in for a retake on the 8th of April and looking forward to it now I know what to expect. Only thing was the extra £160 >.

[@ThrillsOfLife]

Keep at it. Silly mistakes brought on by nerves as you said. Relax on your next test and put those mistakes behind you. Good luck and enjoy

[@mastermanningtkd]

Very positive video, but anything is easy when you know how.

[@georgiewalters4313]

Really good video & advice. thanks for taking the time.

[@HalfdeadRider]

Nice vid bud, where you been? hope you are OK. Got my Mod1 next month, vid of my first lesson going up Saturday, rode the MT-07 loved it :)

[@RoyMay24]

Passed on the 20th August first time, I loved practising the swerve test, if you're competent and confident its a good game :D Mod 2 11th September.

[@sosatisfy1331]

Hey man did you need your own motorcycle or do they provide you with one

[@daimathers7117]

Thanks for the advice mate. I passed my test on Monday :)

[@bloodyhell451]

Lots of helpful advice from someone who has road-sense. Cheers Thrillls - Mod 2 next week...... The CBR 600F is insured and waiting.........

[@markhill8590]

vitaly deuterium can you insure a 600 while you still have a provisional?

[@bloodyhell451]

Well you used to be able to if you bolted a sidewinder onto it and had L plates. I gave the insurance company my test date for the start of the contract. I paid them. Had I not passed then obviously I would not have ridden it. And I would have informed the insurance company. And re-scheduled. As it happened I didn't need to.

[@markhill8590]

vitaly deuterium my reason for asking was I've already bought my bigger bike and I just wanted to know if I could insure it obviously not ride it but just in case it was to get stolen etc

[@bloodyhell451]

Interesting. I'd ring them. Since it's not against the law to posess a bike you can't legally ride I don't see why it should not be possble to insure it against theft/fire etc. Otherwise you might have to do it via your house insurer under specific contents (might be cheaper!)

[@markhill8590]

vitaly deuterium I'll give that a go bud, I'm sure they would insure fingers crossed

[@TheBigLebowskix]

Cheers buddy I've got my Mod1 tomorrow

[@trustnuffin9121]

Excellent commentary : ) : )

[@taighmikey180]

Great vid mate 👍 Subbed 👍

[@winstonbanks1057]

Very good video got mine very soon

[@londonTown1989]

Cheers for the video got my mod 1 in 3 weeks

[@stig800]

Great video.I'm planing to go for my test next year lets hope I pass.

[@Jonofthejungle26]

Haha, took ages to work out what you meant by fairy test. It was actually theory test but the helmet made it sound like fairy.

[@gremlin2288]

+Jonofthejungle26 ha ha not just me then!

[@Fugoczi]

hey dude i wanna get a gsxr 600 2003 am 6 foot 4 do you think the bike will be good for me ? oh and gongrats on 800 subs

[@ThrillsOfLife]

+Jacob Kaluza (Prutsi) Hi, Thanks. I think you might be better off with something like an R6. The GSXR would be fine but your going to be a bit on the tall side in my opinion.

[@Fugoczi]

oh ill have a look, thanks for the information buddy and do more motovlggs you got the voice people will listen to.

[@TheInvisibleWorld1]

got my full bike licence on friday i had a brilliant examiner i even rode away with a clean sheet :)

[@kjbhonda2645]

How many hours or lessons did you do before your mod 1 and 2?

[@alexsp7086]

Don’t skimp on lessons, find a good school and do it. I failed my first test and went to the school after and realized how many mistakes I had made. They do it for a living they know their stuff and it will also surprise you how much you don’t know about your own bike and technical abilities.

[@vincehaynes1665]

well said

[@markseale3235]

i'm in London, do you know any of any good companies that you could recommend? thanks

[@sachamccadden1801]

Great vid

[@themkman2006]

Im just down the road in Thetford.. Just booked with Camrider in Norwich, who did you go with?

[@ThrillsOfLife]

+paul carter . I did my training with Top Notch. Although I'm sure most are similar!

[@Copperpan384]

I hit the cone on my mod 1 on hazard avoidance. Doing my head in and retake is next week. All I think about is hitting the cone. It was with the l plate stuck on the side of bike. Please advise how to get bike over

[@bigBatZ]

thomas e kingston you’ve probably passed now but everyone who’s spoken about hazard avoidance says look at the other come. Don’t look at the one you’re avoiding

[@toopeddie]

Great video thanks

[@leemarshall9501]

life save etc on round abouts and going round park cars failed my mod two for not doing enough life saver looks ?

[@jotter1982]

passed my mod 1 with zero minors. now going for mod 2 this thursday. the main thing i worry about is the eye test. but what will be will be eh.

[@debianowns4393]

Did you pass? :)

[@jotter1982]

Debian owns hi mate for some reason it comes up as my wife's name lol. But the I passed thxs for asking 1st time 2 minors. now have a suzuki bandit 650. thxs for taking the time to ask.😁

[@davidbaird6996]

The of road bit I was third time before I got it put my foot down i got the test first time one miner

[@wynjones1033]

Good honest vlog

[@lowflyingpigeon7956]

would i sit both parts in one sitting? just done hgv an it was 100questions! and separately hazards and perception 20clips. also will i do cbt before getting on a bigger bike?

[@ristonbiker2945]

If you are talking about the theory than it is in 1 sitting the questions 1st 50 of them followed by a 3 min break(stay in your seat lol) and then onto you hazard perception 14 clips

[@theandroidcarper7847]

what camera and mic setting you using there pal

[@ThrillsOfLife]

It's a GoPro hero 4 with a Sony mic. Quite a simple yet effective setup

[@andybryant9105]

Passed my DAS in April 2015 & now I ride a Yamaha Tracer

[@hogg8888]

ive just booked a 3day course so mod 1-2 same day

[@andybryant9105]

a loaded Red one yea!!

[@adrianfiddy2161]

Can I ask which company you used. I'm in Norwich. You were driving around Norwich so I assumed you are from Norfolk.

[@ThrillsOfLife]

Hi, I used top notch. Richard is their head trainer and is very good.

[@adrianfiddy2161]

cheers I'll give them a look.

[@HalfdeadRider]

Done my geared 125 CBT there yesterday, had a great day. My main trouble was getting used to riding the clutch so much (prob because I'm so used to cars) and cancelling indicators lol I am more than old enough to do my DAS but partly due to cash flow I'm getting a 125cc and saving to do my DAS next year or early 2018, bit gutted but should be more ready for training on the bigger bike. Awesome to see more of Norwich on YT, I done a few vids in my car on another channel but made this one to do some vids on a bike, live close to the clock tower. Subbed :)

[@therealmrcheese]

oh and with the whole "they have to fail so many per day" as you say that's wrong but i know for 100% fact as I was told by my old instructor who was a ex examiner that they DO have a maximum number they can pass per day so if they have reached that quota by time you take your test it doesn't matter how good you drive,ride you wont pass!! and that was from a ex examiner!

[@hestolemyname1352]

Bs

[@therealmrcheese]

+hestole myname believe what you want mate, I know what I was told and his a family friend so why would he lie?

[@DaOddSnake]

+therealmrcheese I'm an instructor, that is not true.

[@Sebo810]

I did my mod1 twice. The first time, i forgot to put the stand up 3 times in a row cause i was stresing out and the guy failed me for that. lol

[@darrenwilliams9027]

If anyone thinks the swerve test is dangerous then they shouldn't be riding

[@sciencefact]

I want to get a bike but instead my aim is to get a 3 second car

[@HalfdeadRider]

Easier and cheaper to get a 3 second bike, like the one in this video :)

[@LickyDischarge]

Norwich lad👍

[@Heytexas]

anymore videos?

[@dexterdarius8651]

Im in norwich too! aha!

[@meridenow2324]

I was just think that looks like Norwich lol.

[@RTD553]

You're well too close to that car in front. If he is a nutter and slams on the brakes, or there is a nutter ahead of him and he is forced to, you're into the back of him, or swerving into something else.

[@Aqua_Man84]

Mod 2 end of this month 🙏

[@ArcadeCabNBud]

tip for passing your test: dont ride to close to the car in front.

[@debianowns4393]

Mod 2 tomorrow, shitting myself a bit :)

[@noviceytp5005]

Debian owns how did it go? got my mod 2 tomorrow and i'm also getting advice from youtube lol

[@andybryant9105]

Did my DAS on a Ducati Monster 696 & they are crap

[@sphenoidjjj]

Andy Bryant im also doing mine on the same bike, in what way do you find they are not good bikes?

[@andybryant9105]

prab singh mine was thrashed and not tight or very responsive

[@RUH24A]

What's a fairy test pal

[@davidbaird6996]

Keep her between the hedges ya boy ya lol

[@TheAgalmic]

Remember to use the bus lane (outside the hours of operation) as you don't want some w**ker taxi driver undertaking you - that's a fail.

[@vasilisthor484]

You say tips to pass your test my friend...And for 14 minutes you speak like my grandma...bla bla bla bla...where is the tips...🤔
