Tips For Passing Your Mod 2 || Beginner Motorcyclist Tips

[@UncleRed]

Best advice I was given: You know how to ride the bike, yes? Just go out and ride the bloody bike. Listen to the instructions, but forget someone's following you.

[@ayserides]

Yup, ride your bike and enjoy yourself :p

[@axleg1254]

The same from me.

Failed my mod 2 yesterday, horrible feeling for some reason despite the fact I can rebook it. Was doing really well on my mock tests with instructors, clean passes, then the test was going great up until a narrow country lane with giveaway markings on my side of the road, the road ahead had a sharp bend so it was hard to see what was coming. I slowed down to a crawling speed, did my checks and moved out, a car came flying around the corner and that was an instant fail. Like you said, luck definitely plays a part in these tests, if that car hadn’t been there I would of passed with no minors. Anyway, we move 💪

[@ayserides]

Oh thats gutting! I didn't even want to rebook mine when I failed. I was so devastated. But we move and we smash it the next time :)

[@virtualrob7360]

@@ayserideshad the same feeling it’s vile, just passed second time, happy I won’t ever have to do that again, unless…. I end up getting a full A license cuz I’m restricted to my A2 now, fckin scam 😂

[@ayserides]

@virtualrob7360 yay, congrats! I have to do my full licence at some point this year. Just waiting for a test slot. A scam indeed haha

[@MrEnvs]

I don't even ride a bike and I still watched this til the end! Very well presented.

[@ayserides]

Thank you!

I passed my test the 3rd attempt as well. When I did it, a long time ago there was not Mod 1 and Mod 2 there was just an on road test and you would have to do the "turn in the road" and "emergancy stop" on the road. I had been riding my Kawasaki KH-125 two stroke on L plates for about a year and decided to take the test, first I tried direct access and borrowed a Kawasaki ER5, which I hated and failed on that, so then decided to do the test on my 125, be restricted to 33 BHP for two years then I would automatically be upgraded to the full license (different times). The first test I took on my 125 I thought I passed, but the examiner said something about a round about and failed me. I tried again third time and passed. I remember ripping the L plates off and being so excited I forgot to put the fuel tap back on, and chugged to a stop soon after leaving the test centre (doh). Once I got the bike started again, I rode straight to the Kawasaki dealer where I bought my 125 from and bought a zxr400, I had to have a restrictor fitted for two years as it had about 63 BHP, after the two years the restrictor was removed.

[@ayserides]

I think I should have passed on my second attempt. He failed me on something to do with a mini roundabout but I still don't really know which part he was talking about haha. Yes my first thing to do was to rip the L plates off and ride home! But thank god for fuel injected bikes 😂

[@DeweyRides]

"There is a lot of bad advice on the internet". Ain't that the truth!!

[@ayserides]

Yup, I would always recommend listening to what your instructor tells you primarily

[@lifeoncarsofficial]

What a brilliant uplifting video, thank you! I have my mod2 in an hour and you calmed my nerves. 🙂

[@paddy1]

How did you get on?!

[@Kobain222]

Did you pass? I have mine in a couple of weeks

[@lifeoncarsofficial]

I passed! Just relax, and have fun 😁.

[@Lacehairwigs]

Passed my full A license last month. Just relax and don't stress. You can always retake it.

[@NooBiker]

Very good and solid advice, Ayse. I wish I'd had this when I was doing my MOD2 a few years ago.

[@ayserides]

Thanks!

[@deanroberts187]

I’ve just been and booked my Mod1/2 at a school close to test centre as opposed to one that was close to me. Nerves are kicking in, and I’ve scoured YT for hundreds of videos for a broad overview. Really good points raised in this video. Thanks and Safe Riding.

[@ayserides]

Don't ovethink it, go and smash both tests :)

[@bartasview2148]

Got my Mod2 in two days, passed my Mod1 last week perfectly but starting to feel really nervous. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻

[@ayserides]

You've got this!

[@GASGASENDUROADVENTURES]

Brilliantly said i have my mod2 in 2 weeks even tho u are on a test doesnt mean u wont get an idiot on the road causing u to fail etc but fingers crossed it all goes well for me :)

[@ayserides]

If you handle the situation well then it'll go fine :)

[@francismariathas6543]

Best advice yet. Thank you

[@ayserides]

Thanks!

[@GarethMachin-rb2sg]

Excellent advice thank you

[@ayserides]

@@GarethMachin-rb2sg thanks!

[@middleagedshred]

kool..would have liked to know what the problem with roundabouts was

[@ayserides]

I explained a little bit more in my "finally passed my mod 2" video, but the first fail was for cutting across lanes last minute to take an exit and the second was for apparently being too close to the kerb going round a mini roundabout. Although I disagree with that one but hey, the examiner had the final say :)

[@middleagedshred]

​@@ayserides Kool..I,ll try not to let roundabouts catch me out...I,ll probably chek ur mod 2 vid closer to the time but next step...Mod 1...:O

[@AW8UK]

Sensible advice without going into controversial stuff. Pedal bikes also fine for checking tricky layouts at roundabouts & on routes.

[@ayserides]

Yes good point, i should have mentioned cycling to practice!

[@Labgorilla]

I passed my mod 1 and 2 with no Minors. I put it down to spending 6 years riding a 125 and having a car licence for 14 years. BUT for mod2 there is a randomness of what you’re faced with on the day. Just be calm and my only tip is, Imagine you’re riding on your own. Do not change your style because of the examiner. That’s it. Best of luck everyone!

[@ayserides]

Perfect advice!

[@davestatham8668]

I had my MOD 1 and 2 booked this week but due to massive anxiety and nerves I cancelled it. Just couldn't face it at all but I really enjoyed the bigger bike but I'm going to practice on my 125 for longer.

[@ayserides]

Yes, practice until you feel ready and then go smash it! :D

[@jimmythecat33]

Got my re test on my mod 2 tomorrow, went out in the car to practice roundabouts , 44 years old driving since 17 and still f*^*ed up on the local roundabouts , last test cancelled due to strikes , mod 1 they tried to cancel for strikes too, it’s been 6 weeks since the mid 2 fail , may the force be with me at 10.30 tomorrow 🥹

[@ayserides]

How did it go?

[@GarethMachin-rb2sg]

Very good advice

[@ayserides]

@@GarethMachin-rb2sg thanks :)

[@MauriceTarantulas]

Just passed my mod 1 and mod 2 soon! Great little vid little this. P.s Guess what I have struggled with? Yes you called it...roundabouts. I was named roundabout roulette😂

[@ayserides]

Congrats on the pass! I hate roundabouts with a passion 😂

[@MauriceTarantulas]

@@ayserides haha have a few on my test route. Might do one more trip on the 125 or as you said do it in the car. Might another hr with school but busy time👍

[@ahsanawan3699]

Mod 2 booked for tomorrow.

[@ayserides]

Good luck!

[@ahsanawan3699]

Passed with no minor 🎉 thanks.

Passed yesterday! 0 minors @@ayserides

Failed my mod 2 the other day but passed my mod 1 first time shall i practice in my car

[@leewolf6434]

Anyone else with a full license actually just watching this out of curiosity or just me 🤷‍♂️🤣

[@ayserides]

Haha thanks for watching anyway!

[@williamnethercott4364]

I passed my test over 40 years ago but I haven't a clue about what is involved in Mod 2. It was very much simpler then and just had to ride a bike that was below 250cc as a learner. I wanted to hear what AyseRides had to say, even though I'll never be in the position of needing to pass my Mod 2. As usual, her comments were very sensible. I was a bit puzzled about her comment about the bike used in the test being bigger than the one you are used to riding. Can't you use your own bike?

[@clangerbasher]

So young. So wise. 😎

[@ayserides]

Haha thank you!

[@clangerbasher]

@@ayserides I have just returned from my first CBT. Decided I didn't want to go out on to the road this time. Getting a push bike to practice steering.

[@ayserides]

That's a good idea. Cycling helps massively especially if you haven't done so in a while

[@clangerbasher]

@@ayserides Yes it was weird. My arms are aching this morning.

[@ayserides]

When I first started riding my entire upper body, all over my arms and down my back, would ache like mad. I think i was so scared that I was grabbing on for dear life 😂

[@jonesy4468]

i failed my mod 2 the first 2 times doubt there will be a third as ive lost interest

[@Stillbusy105]

Can I just do the mod 1 & not have to do CBT anymore & keep a 125?

[@ayserides]

Unfortunately not, you'd have to do both the mod 1 and mod 2

[@simonomargorgia7951]

Thank you :)

[@Hiccup77]

Wondering why you are using the clutch to change gear all the time. From you helmet cam , didn't see much movement when changing speed

[@ayserides]

Im not sure what you mean. How else would you change gear?

[@jez6208]

Refreshingly Frank. I have my mod 2 this friday morning. First thing. It's supposed to rain all day........ bugger!😊

[@ayserides]

Good luck! Unlucky timing with the weather. Hope it works out well for you :)

[@jez6208]

@ayserides it didn't rain and I passed!!! 😄😄😄😄

[@ayserides]

Ah congrats!
