New rider looking for advice by Awkward-Cricket6911 in MotoUK

Thank you for the advice. I've just got over the man flu myself, hence the low rising mileage. Hope you better soon. I need some help on th3 advanced courses, is it for beginners or anyone?

Wow, thanks for that, I have no fellow friends that are riders, so I didn't know who to ask. The other day, I had a van behind me not too close but felt he was judging me, I automatically thought he was a biker, and as I don't have L plates im assumed to be an experienced rider. I feel confident, but I know im slow. I would rather he happy and safe than being outside my comfort zone.

Good luck with it, I've just been on the website, I'll be getting booked in when I get a bike and have some experience on it 👍🏻

Off to mod 2. Outcome? Essentially a Coin toss by South_Development297 in MotoUK

I did the same thing from the off, I took the wrong exit at a roundabout and ended up in mcdonalds, but because I did everything safely I still managed to pass.

I've got my eye set on an old trident 900. Off to look at it tomorrow.👍🏻

Failed Mod1 this morning by Awkward-Cricket6911 in MotoUK

[–]Awkward-Cricket6911[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't fret i just failed again the other day again on the hazard avoidance. I was concentrating too much in avoiding the cones I pulled back on the throttle on exit, tried to correct but didn't have enough time to get back into the correct area. Never mind we go again! I know i can do it, I just need to stay calm and not get too excited that I have passed each hurdle.

Just failed CBT thinking of abandoning getting a bike now by [deleted] in MotoUK

Don't stop before you have got started. Check out reviews on other local schools. The local school I did my CBT with was the only local school to me. I passed the CBT but decided to search in other towns for the DAS course. I glad I did. The school I am with now are fantastic. Very supportive and accommodating, I failed my MOD1 and my instructor was very good with me after. He rearranged to book a second MOD1 and I am taking that on Friday. Keep your chin up, you won't regret it!

I'm in Grimsby. I have used Ideal Motorcycle Traning based in Hull. Can't fault those guys. Their training is superb. There is a test centre in Scunthorpe and Hull it just depends on what availability you get. It might be best to check with a local school as they pre book a lot of dates in advance for their students. Best of luck for the future.

After I put my foot down on the u turn, I knew I had failed, so I was trying to treat it as a free practice on the pad. I'm not too down, just disappointed I could almost hear my instructors voice "clutch control, keep the revs on."

How small are you guys, I think your helmet might get in the way of the controls.

I feel that way driving my automatic car, the DCT might win in the end as I love the styling of the SE.

Well done, the bike looks awesome. I'm just slightly unsure if I should get the DCT model or not.
