New module 1 motorcycle test.

This is myself riding a demo of the new module 1 motorcycle test.
You will have seen in the media the problems involved regarding safety and injury.
So how dangerous is it? Decide for yourself.
I am a very experienced motorcycle instructor and of course I can do this test. However..... When doing the much talked about swerve test I need to use all of my skills and experience and to be honest it is awkward. In a novice hands I believe it is very dangerous and even more so in the wet.

Side stand is fine. Dont worry about the main stand. If you are doing a test on a 125 its more difficult when it comes to getting up to speed. 2nd gear all the way. You are gonna have to give it a good fist full of throttle my mate.

Tips fir fugure of 8 are easy. Look at the cones, keep the revs up and not too slow. Your instructor should be telling you that.

50kph is the minimum speed. There is not a max speed. Anything above ok. However, too fast and you wont make the swerve.

Don't look at the cones on the figure of eight for pity's sake. Look at the fencing. As you said the bike will follow you around, if you look at the cones you'll cut in towards them, making it tighter and messing up the flow of the circles.
