Great video however i must point out, before you manual handle the bike do your checks. Shoulder too shoulder and i would advise wheeling the bike from the left space too the right one as its more natural and you’re not pushing away from you
Only problem with that is usually in your real test you will be starting the opposite way, doing it the way I did in the video lines you up ready for the next part of the test, some examiners will also tell you this but tbh it’s whatever you’re comfortable with and either way works ;)
Bit of a late upload 😳 don't worry, I'm all good just the weather has been crap and I haven't been riding a lot the past week or so, expect some entertaining videos as soon as the weather brightens up 😁 Update: So I knew I'd forget something, it was the U-Turn. If you can do a figure of 8 you should be alright on the U-Turn, just do a shoulder check before pulling away, then as you're about to do the U-Turn do another shoulder check and continue to look where you want to and you should be all good.
Something you forgot to mention but when I did my mod 1 tests (a2+a) you were marked down for putting right foot down as they want to see you have control over the rear brake and all that nonsense... Saw some cheeky right footers there 😉😂
NEW SUBSCRIBER! Loving the videos and debating getting an MT-07 too, just wondered what GO-PRO and setup you are using as I’d like to create some videos for memories sake!
Hello mate, would it be possible to post a video on using your own bike for mod 1 and 2? And the best way around it as its not cheap to go back to a school using there bike few hours training your talking close to a grand 😀 No worries if not Cheers 🍻
A grand? 😳 I only paid £300 when I did my test and used their bike. I’m not really sure how it works with using your own bike since you need to ride there on a bigger bike that’s restricted, derestrict it at the test centre and be insured on it.
@ReevyMotovlogs yeah that's what I thought and that is reasonable especially using their bike.. but I guess with my own bike to save changing things back I'd pay the hire cost of there bike, gave you a follow on insta bro 🐾
GREAT VIDEO.Ive got my mod 1 on Thursday. can i just point out though that before you do the wheeling it around from space to space at the start,you should also look around you?
They don't really mind tbh but in a real world situation I'd assume most people have enough common sense to look before wheeling their bike. It's like pulling out of a junction, if you just pull out without looking both ways you probably shouldn't be on a bike to begin with. Not saying you're like that but just an example lol Good luck mate, fingers crossed you pass no issues!
@@ReevyMotovlogs thanks.ill let you know. it really wasnt a critisism my friend as i appreciate you making these videos. it was just for people like me who are about to take there test to be aware of. ride safe my friend ;-)
@@darrenstarkey4512 I know bud but if it was like super important I would've mentioned it, the main thing they really care about is shoulder checks before moving away each time and speed.
Hi again. I took my mod 1 today and it was a perfect pass.👍 I do believe that watching this video as well as others has certainly helped me through it,so thank you for taking the time and effort to make this 👍👍🎫🏍
@@Exmilkman Ayyyy let's go!! I think I got 2 minors on my mod 2, or 1 I can't remember, but then again it was something stupid like a really narrow road with a car blocking my lane and barely and room to move over so he said it wasn't a huge problem. Glad you passed man!
1:10 I think that might be because manufacturers are allowed to make speedos up to 10% inaccurate, so they always set them like that to make it seem like the bike is faster. 34 on the speedo could've been roughly 30-31 in reality :(
Do they allow maxi scooters to pass?? I mean they are practical for stop start traffic and going on long adventures, the safety aspect is higher you can react quicker on a scooter.
Thanks for this information! It is what I've been looking for.. Just, 00:39 you said "this will be the hardest test you do" - but then proceed to say it's quite easy (paraphrasing) when trying to show examples of what you did in the MOD1. Is it because it's actually NOT as hard as a lot of people probably worry it is? As long as you're competent and don't get too nervous, maybe? Not a complaint about your video, btw, but I'm trying to gauge my plan of attack on getting my A license. Cheers!
Yes, out of all the test I’d say it’s the hardest part however it is fairly simple if you have enough practice and confidence you should pass it no problem :) Appreciate the kind words.
Thanks for sharing. I have a question im taking my mod 1 in couple of weeks but unfortunately my speedometer stop working, my question is do they check it if its working before the test,? Thanks
@@ReevyMotovlogs I have to pay extra I guess using theirs right? Also not sure if the test centre im going to take have one. Anyway thank you very much for your advice.
Do u have a A2 licence or an A license also what bikes can u ride with an a2 licence am thinking about getting an a2 licence could u ride a gsx s750 2017 model on a A2 licence
As long as you got that clutch control down it will still feel really easy but since it has more power you'll definitely notice it pulls a lot quicker compared to a 125 however I went from a 125 and did my test on a 500 and found it to be very easy to control.
Reevy it might matter on bike specific too tbf. I test road my mates 390duke, at first it really struggled cos it has so much torque lol. But over time it got easy. I was just curious if you found it easy to do A2 on their bike as it was your first time (different weight, more power..)
