DSA Module 1 practical test

This is a video of myself passing the Module 1 Motorcycle Test. I have been able to add numerous tips & advice thanks to YouTube annotations.
Also have a read through of the comments since there are some good questions & answers.

The motorcycle test is in 2 parts, Module 1 & Module 2. Module 1 tests your manoeuvrability in an offroad area.
Module 2 tests your road knowledge while your being followed on the road by an instructor.
Premises187.

Here is some cut & paste stuff.

The new motorcycle test went live on Monday 27 April 2009. It aims to improve the standard of road safety for motorcycle and moped riders. This user group has been identified as having a high risk of injury or death, this is particularly the case for young and inexperienced riders.

BEST OF LUCK WITH YOUR TEST!!!

Have mine this wens, i pref using my front brake slightly when doing walking distance is that bad?

[187Premises]

@gibbokpl yes. You ideally want to use the rear brake which is also called the "controlling brake". At low speeds or going around a corner using the front brake is said to increase your chance of dropping off.

I passed my CBT a couple of months ago and I have got a bit of money to go for my full licence. However, my instructer said he was suprised how good I was riding on the road after a dreadfull morning doing manuvers. I really do suck doing manuvers and worry that module 1 might hold me back. I just wanted to know how long or how many lessons practice do you get before you go for module 1 and do you think someone who wasnt great at manuvers in their CBT will be okay after more practice?

MOD 1 the figure of 8 & slalom the cones are so wide apart you could get a bus to do a slalom.

U-turn, it's like doing a U-tun on the Motorway the distance is so big it would be harder to not do it.

These are the things people worry the most with.

Speed test 2nd gear snap the throttle back = pass on that part.

slow speed, Rear Brake + slipping the clutch couldn't be easier.

it's harder to breath than it is to fail MOD1.g

go in full of confidence come out with a certificate.

[fladam1994]

do you know how wide the cones are so i could practice the slow maneuvres

[TheCrazymook]

I've got my mod 1 tomorrow! Bricking it but should be okay :)

[gangsta078]

my two years restriction is up soon, cant wait! I hated the tests, so easy to fail.

I ride similar to what you did in the video, FZ6N s2 2008.

I have read that they are changing all the test and restriction laws soon, not sure what to or when but I hope its made more reasonable for learners.

[gibbokpl]

@187Premises Yeah i don't touch the front brake around corners but it's a smaller bike similar to the yamaha kinda hard to drop.

I did pass Mod 1 though, with no minors.

Scored avoidance test speed 51KM

And emergency stop 50KM Kind of lucky i suppose ;)

[JakeEvans1990]

This has been a big confidence boost to me, thank you. I've got my mod 1 coming up and I was really worried about figure of 8, but I didn't realise the test center gave you that much room, or that you could go around the last yellow cone, that's great. All I have to work on now is not locking my back wheel on controlled stop. Must not panic..

[RockSmith92]

im shitting myselffr my mod 1 and 2. i can ride bike wel and safely, just that when im being etsted, i get nervous and slip up, silly mistakes that would never happen to me.

[pipnmaz]

@TULLYtheHOST I passed my mod 1 in December 2011 and you can take as much training as you need. If the riding school you use are sensible they won't book your test until you are ready. I was nervous about low speed manouvers too, especially the u-turn but I was allowed 15 minutes training at the training school ground on my own just to do 5 or 6 u-turns before going to the test centre. Remember you only need to do each task once. 10 minutes of calm riding = a pass. Good luck.

Thanks for the video!!!
