best of luck on your test mate,
but i thought according new rules from next year you must pass on a 400cc bike , does not mention 500 or six hundred cc machines

well today was just a pactice, of both mod1 & 2. Both tests are on tuesday

instructor said i did ok, and although i was moving my head to check my mirrors a lot. he said i need to move my head more side to side motion so the examiner can see that i am doing it.

Roll on tuesday

Passed my Mod1 this morning. And i was all set & excited to do my Mod2, then my instructor got a call saying the test centre has cancelled me, because they didn't have a chase vehicle. B@st@rds.

So i am now doing it on Thursday instead, another day of anticipation

Well done on Mod1
Sounds like you are going to sail through - those cancellations are tough on the nerves.

I reckon thats disgusting it could cause a a lot of people to fail ,next time because of nerves ,i would not be happy at all with that ,
after all they have taken your money and not producing,it could be pissing down on thursday just to make things more difficult,
still all the best mate you can do it

My instructor didn't have a bike when I did my mod2, so he had to use a car. RESULT.
