*I know the video was uploaded in 2015, but it is still the same test today in 2022. I update the year to let people know it's still relevant.*
PLEASE READ:
Test 3 is the Slalom, indicated by yellow cones.
Test 4 is the Figure of 8, indicated by blue cones.
IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU GO AROUND THE YELLOW CONE WHILST DOING THE FIGURE OF 8.
The yellow cones are part of the previous test and can be treated as if they weren't there.
HOWEVER
You must NOT hit the yellow cones - this is an instant fail.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a video of me doing my Big Bike MOD 1 test last year. This is the test under the new rule guidelines as of January 2013. Everything you see here is exactly how the MOD 1 test is today. This test was completed without any mistakes.
NO FLAMING. I'm up for a bit of abuse/banter on my other videos. Feel free to insult me all you want there, but abusive comments on this video will be deleted and you will be blocked. Lets try to keep this video professional.
However, any questions regarding the test, please feel free to leave a message in the comments and I will get back to you. If the comment is important enough I will annotate the video to include the information.
Let me know if you require raw footage of the MOD 2 test, as I still have this also. But be aware that the MOD 2 footage does not have the examiner's instructions as I forgot to put my mic next to my earpiece.
The test team were gracious enough to let me record. However I still tried my best to edit out the test examiner's face to protect his identity. As my subscribers know however, I am not down with the big fancy editing. I try to keep my videos as close to raw footage as possible.

@celticridertraining 7 лет назад

I know many an examiner who would disagree if they feel you went around yellow cone because of a lose of balance you fail, also why did you do slalom and figure 8 so slow ? you put your self on edge of a stall or foot down and it gives the wrong impression to would be test candidates couple mph quicker and the bike is far move agile and manoeuvrable

@KingLies 7 лет назад

Depends what bike you're riding. There is a fine balance between riding slow and riding fast on your test. A higher speed gives you more stability but you are sacrificing some turning distance if you're not super confident on that specific bike.

@celticridertraining 7 лет назад

we are not talking about high speed we are talking 1 or 2 mph more, nothing complicated or over thought 1 or 2 mph more is all and it will be a different bike and the rider will relax, but then apparently I know nothing so however its dressed up, power, drive, throttle, gas, accelerate, clutch, rear brake etc etc it all means the same thing. as I said on last post I commented on I know when to take a break in fact wish I had not commented at all. So well done on the pass glad you did not do it in Newport as it would have been a different result if it was seen as a balance issue ride safe bud keep it shinny side up. and the grin locked in.

@KingLies 7 лет назад

+ Celtic "1 or 2 mph" feels like a lot to an inexperienced rider, who has enough things to concentrate on without staring at their speedo. There is no evidence that riding faster will "make the rider relax", that's just your opinion. There's no such thing as a fail for balance, unless that balance issue results in your foot hitting the floor or a test cone. Please don't comment misinformation on my video that people will read and start to worry about when it's not even an issue. + Gaz Nobody here is stating that going _so slow that you put your foot down_ is a good idea, and nobody is stating that this is a slow speed test. You need to be moving at a steady pace to retain balance and control, and going too fast will give you the same problems. I passed my test with a perfect score, but feel free to believe whatever you want. Just don't spew crap on my video.

Once I put my helmet on, i'm in my own little world. Also remember, the examiners are bikers and they have no quotas to hit. They just want to see that you can ride to a standard where you're not going to hurt yourself or anyone else.

Just passed first time in Newport, Wales, with no minors. Guys don't be too intimidated, I was surprised how easy the test actually is. All I really had to remember is to do the lifesavers, but I was doing them almost automatically due to the test situation. If you don't understand something then you can just ask the examiner, as they are in no hurry. It really was easy, all you have to do is focus and make sure you have had a decent breakfast! Don't be too intimidated, it is not a trial by fire by any means. The examiners are wanting to pass you and the course is designed to be completely manageable by new riders as well as the bikes you will be using.

My favourite part of the test is when you accidentally ride forwards into your garage then have to push your bike backwards out of your garage into your other garage that you have directly adjacent to the first one. I use this daily in the real world. I’m always forgetting which garage to park in.

@renevp2 Год назад

I honestly envy you brits, in a good way. Here a frustrated spaniard, flunked today a second time the A2 exam (mod1 equivalent) here in Spain. People who pass the exam here on their first time is just 20%, the rest is just repeating exams, waiting times (month after month), bureaucracy, and a constant money waste like a leaking tap. I see your Mod1 circuit, and at least I can see an application to real life, with examples like taking a long curve and avoiding an obstacle, emergency braking, etc. And the instructor explaining you every step, everything is pretty relaxed, how nice, really (no irony intended). Here in Spain, the exam takes about 1 minute total: the first (slow) circuit is around 20 seconds (extremely tight lines and cones with high bollards next to each other you can't even slightly touch) very fast acceleration and quick emergency brake in a small painted box, and the fast circuit (full of obstacles), parts where you can break and others not, has to be done in less than 25 seconds. If you make a single mistake in any of both, you're out, imagine how many people can fail in 5 minutes (8 in a row, slaughter witnessed by myself today). Nerves are so tense that a number of people fail just in the first acceleration. So, we just try to live with it and know that this is just a systematic waste of money on our spanish government and a good business model for driving schools (no wonder there are so many here), until you finally pass the exam and leave all that crap behind. Hey, good luck to anyone who will do the Mod 1 in UK!

@eskiboy624 3 года назад

Tip for figure of 8: Ride the biting point and use the rear break to control your speed. Also, squeeze your knees together which will allow you to have more control when turning. Good luck.

@booshallmighty 3 года назад

Good advice, I'll add to that for those who may not understand what you mean. Don't use any throttle, most of these manoeuvres can be performed on Tik over only. Also, don't look where you are going, look to where you are heading too. If you look at where you want to go the bike will turn itself. This is vital when you you take corners at speed. If you look where you are going you will crash into whatever you are looking at. Look for the exit of the bend, no matter how bad things get. Throttle off, look for exit.

@vtrmcs 2 года назад

@@booshallmighty Nah mate you need some throttle, I'd say on any bike, let alone these middleweights. Slip clutch and use the back brake to control speed but maintain some throttle. If you idle the throttle you'll tip the bike. Gripping tank a little with knees is good, to a point, but the most important thing for figure 8, is to fix vision on the cone until you exit that particular turn, then move fixation to the next cone and so on. Counter steering is the proper way to engage a turn, but thats beyond scope for the test, although I've no idea why, really. There are certain advanced techniques that should be part of a riders armoury from CBT day 1, again, in my view.

@garethdickenson3159 2 года назад

The squeezing my knees helped me pass my mod 1 today. Great advice, thanks very much!

@jcdrummer616 Год назад

@@vtrmcs gotta agree with Craig here, no throttle needed whatsoever. Just done my CBT 2 days ago and tick over is more than enough to get any modern bike around these manoeuvres. Keeps things simple.

@GaijinGamerGirl 9 месяцев назад

No need for rear brake just look at the blue cones as you go by and around each one and it's easy asf, it's all about clutch control, the bike does it so effortlessly, but that was on a Kawasaki ER6 for my mod 1 practice of the unrestricted license which I have my test for today

The most nerve wracking 20 minutes of my life. Have watched this video about 20 times and was an absolute life saver. Best one on you tube! Finally passed on my 4th attempt - all fails due to nerves - riding too slowly and putting my foot down on the slalom and figure of 8. I even managed to stall the bike on my u turn but had enough inertia to coast it around. The quicker stuff was the easiest bit and so I passed with a clean sheet. MOD2 now but no worries on that front as I’ve been riding a 125 for a while and am fine on the road where any nerves won’t be quite so obvious and will settle once going.

@scubatricky 8 лет назад

Well done. Yellow cone is insignificant during figure 8, as it's part of exercise 2, and you've completed that prior to figure 8. So long as you don't hit it, then you're fine. Only thing I'd add regarding your figure 8 is that your head doesn't turn much, hence the wobbly steering. Look where you want the bike to go, not where it is currently going. Figure 8 usually has a student with their chin on their shoulder looking round for the cones as they turn. Hope that makes sense, not being critical, a MOD 1 clean sheet is great, but the slow speed control looked a bit 'square'.

@danju07 8 лет назад

I thought this, but was told by my instructor on the morning before my Mod 1 test, NOT to go around the end yellow cone, as i could be given a Minor for using it twice (as you do figure 8 two times). Anyway, if you approach the end blue cone close, then go out wide, you have ample space, without needing to go around the end yellow cone as well.

@scubatricky 8 лет назад

+Daniel J your instructor is wrong then.

@danju07 8 лет назад

+Richard Howes If you say so. :) but there's AMPLE space to do figure 8's without being over cautious and having to use end yellow cone. That's if you trained properly. I just never took the risk of going round them, its not difficult.

@scubatricky 8 лет назад

+Daniel J why is there no yellow cone on the other side?

@KingLies 8 лет назад

Your instructor is wrong. There is no "risk" in going around the yellow cone, that is for the slalom test, after which no longer apply. There's more risk in doing a tighter circle and accidentally putting your foot down.

@ILOVEHALOhahajk 8 лет назад

looking to start riding a motorbike.. how long is the process?

@KingLies 8 лет назад

+ILOVEHALOhahajk Depends on a lot of factors. Age, years riding (I'm assuming none?) and budget. I'd recommend everyone to start on a CBT so you can learn to respect the road on two wheels with no protection first. I did and don't regret it. CBT costs like £80, you can do it in a day and lasts two years. During which time you can do your lessons for a full license if you chose to. Which will only take a couple weeks if you've been riding on a CBT for a year or so.

@ILOVEHALOhahajk 8 лет назад

+KingLies ahh sweet.. well I was hoping to get it done in a fairly short time. I'm 24 but will be 25 by the time I scrape the cash together and convince my Mrs ha ha I saw also that you have to take another theory. I'm assuming it doesn't matter that I have done a theory for car and LGV? and will have to do another regardless. I have never even sat on a bike though.

@KingLies 8 лет назад

+ILOVEHALOhahajk You have to do a motorcycle theory test. The questions are different, tyre pressure minimum depth is 1mm on a motorcycle. I think it's 1.4mm for a car, could be wrong. So yes it doesn't matter that you've done other theory tests. I put up a new video yesterday that will explain some things in more depth if you want to check it out.

@peterjames7594 8 лет назад

It's the blue cones, don't go around the yellows if you can help it you get a minor mark for that. I think if you do it twice you fail!

@KingLies 8 лет назад

+Peter James That's not true. I passed with no minors. You can theoretically take as much space as you need for the figure of 8.

@monkeypowermotorcycleadven4691 8 лет назад

+KingLies I asked at my test centre and was told would have got a minor if had done that and depending on examiner even a serious so I suppose it depends on interpretation of how much space allowed for the 8. Instructors who use your test centre regularly should know how it would be treated 😊

@hardgainerbenny8201 8 лет назад

I've got mine tomorrow and I plan on using the yellow cone. My instructor told me that as long as you perform a fig 8 in the cones it's fine. No minors or majors... However he also added don't take the pee and use the yellow cone at the start of the slalom. Anyway if it's different tomorrow I will update - thanks for posting this, it did help.

@42crazyguy 5 лет назад

I'm an american watching this and I don't know why. One thing I noticed however, the test proctor seems like he is a robot of some kind. Never gave a single reaction positive or negative to any of the tests. Not even a little "perfect" or "well done" after a single test. It's like he doesn't want you to succeed. Completely different from the instructor I had in the states. Maybe I got lucky, but this dude was the nicest guy you would ever meet, he was a motorcyclist himself and was actually excited about helping people to get their license. Not that it meant he would go easy on you, but he was actually helpful at least. And please tell me that they wouldn't actually fail you for not doing that dumb little head-check in the middle of an empty parking lot. I can't stand to believe that's actually a thing.

@oakstrong1 6 лет назад

Thanks for uploading these videos, gives me better idea of what to expect. I have been driving a little Suzuki Viva bike (it feels more like a bicycle and looks like it too if you take the fairing off) to work for the last 3 years (1 - 5 km) but never did any of the tests. I've sold my bike and not intending to buy a new one but recently thought about going for the test, just in case I change my mind in the future. I haven't retaken my CBT (I very much doubt ANY of the bikes are even remotely similar to what I had.) and I have only started reading the highway code online.. This video is already making me nervous at halfway mark: I have never needed to do any weaving and the only time I've had a chance of driving up to 30 mph was on a straight, newly paved highway out of town - and even then the engine would start stuttering under too much pressure, forcing me to slow down. And I never rode a bike when it's cold - but by the time I am ready to do the test it will be winter already. Yikes! It's very different from the car driving test 30 yrs ago: there was no hazard perception test of course and would you believe it, but I was asked to identify only 3 TRAFFIC SIGNS, one of which was "Stop" sign and I didn't even have to explain that you will ALWAYS have to stop when you see it. I did my test in London and spent considerable time of it stuck on the road waiting for an arctic to turn around and not even being able to do a U-turn... Of course I did learn the highway code then but there are some changes and of course I never read the rules for motorbikes. It's difficult to remember signs I never see in real life, never mind their official explanation.

@sirfaffalot9136 5 лет назад

Pfffft, moto-gymkhana? The ability to combine a u-turn with evasive manoeuvres in traffic. I dunno, maybe you're right but learning to confidently do the figure of 8 helped my slow speed riding no end. We did it with a little cone on the pillion seat and I got it down to a tee without dropping the cone or missing a beat. I still practice my slow speed stuff few times a month, think it helps with confident filtering in London traffic.
