Another pillion question I was asked. Who can legally ride pillion? Answer, anyone who can sit with their feet on the pegs. Fortunately I knew that one, but this video was great for my preparation, so thank you a LOT!!
Hey I’ve watched both your Mod1 & Mod 2 and this morning just before my mod 2 test I watched this one , super helpful and I’m proud to say I passed with flying colours! Great video very helpful
I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your video. I watched it over and over again and it was extremely helpful. I finally past my module 2 test just before Christmas and it's the greatest feeling ever!😊👌
Amazing video and content! I failed my test twice a few years ago when I was 20. Now I'm 24 going to do my test again this year. Your mod 2 video was very helpful. What bike is that? it's very beautiful bike
Thanks for the feedback man! Third time lucky hopefully this time - at least you can get your full A unrestricted licence because you're 24 now - I'm guessing you're going to do the DAS? It's a Yamaha YZF R-125 (basically the smaller relative of the R6 and R1)
ss ss yeah I'm probably going to do the DAS. I'm torn between bikes myself haha. Torn between the xj6, gsx650f, Honda cbr650f or a Honda Cbr500rr which is the bike I've wanted the longest. I guess ill have to test ride a few. I think a 600cc super sport will be too much bike for what I'm looking for.
If you're more leaning more towards getting a naked bike get the XJ6 or even have a look at the MT-07, I think the gsx650f is the ugliest of them all! By the sounds of it you should definitely get a Honda CBR 600rr, one of my favorites, if the budget stretches lol. With the power of the bike - really depends on how much you trust yourself really, especially being let loose with little experience. If you have a lot of self-control it shouldn't be too much of a problem, but saying that anything less can get a bit boring quickly, so definitely do as many test rides as you can. Try not thinking about it too much and definitely don't buy the bike before you passed as it just puts extra pressure on yourself!
ss ss i feel the 600rr might put me in more danger than its worth :P i think a 650 is a perfect balance for me. Yeah I've heard good things about the MT 07. Oh yeah I'm still going to be riding my cbf125 until after i pass. I'm moving near kings Lyn where there is a test centre so I'm going to go ride around there loads and try and follow some people on their test to get use to it. My first 2 tests was in an area I've never been before and I've only ridden a scooter before so with a new area and gears was all a bit 2 much. I feel much more comfortable in my ability to ride safety. Thanks for the feedback man! Maybe we can go for a ride out when i finally pass! Where are you located?
Oh you're already riding / got a bike, well that makes everything much easier. That's actually quite a good idea to get a proper feel for it and the routes / roads. Doing it in an area you know is just a no brainer for me and just makes you more relaxed either way. I get that - you could always put a restrictor on it but i guess that defeats the point! Nowhere near close to King's Lynn unfortunately, West London, but if you're around sure.
Thanks for the vid. I'm currently studying to take my test. I will be going up from a non-clutch Honda PCX 125 to a bigger bike with a clutch. I've had plenty of road experience but I need some time to adapt to a new way of riding. It's interesting to know what questions I may get asked.
Exactly right, especially from non-geared to geared. Also, no matter how many years you've been riding / safely, chances are you will fail in the test, primarily the Mod 2, unless you change certain riding habits you've picked up which in a better way of putting it the DVLA doesn't like - with many points that is never actually acted on in normal every day riding (they have to make their money some way eh)
A. Adam Not by standard, no. Don’t worry about it. If you have to due to an accident or something, as long as you do it safely (observations etc) you don’t need to worry about putting your foot down like in the Mod 1! (Or within a defined area)
Malmsey go for it if you like the bike! Just make sure you know what you’re getting into with 2 strokes. If you just want a good reliable beginner 125, get a Yamaha YBR125, Honda CBF125 or a R125 if you’re not on a budget
Tip, i find it hard to check my oil level with the bike upright and not on the main stand, so what i do is lean over with my camera phone and take a photo.
No prob man. Was about to warn you of the tight turning circle if you just got the R125 for the U-turn, but you've obviously passed Mod 1. Good luck, Mod 2 is always less stressful!
@@expatbiker6598 Normally 2 show me tell me, and 1 pillion question. Also you'll be v happy to hear that the worst you'll get from the show me tell me section (contrary to popular belief) is 1 minor, you can't fail on it. To avoid getting only 1 minor, you have to get all the questions right. Not as bad as you though right - but helps getting them right and giving a good impression to the examiner at the start, but no point stressing over them!
Hey mate do you know if i get on road without MOT and road tax but i only have insurance and i cannot do my road tax if i dont have my MOT help me thanks i just bought the bike i dont know what to do?
Sorry for the year-late response lol, but you can legally drive your vehicle to a pre-booked MOT (even without tax in the scenario) but you must tax it straight after. Alternatively, you can risk a heft fine, although no road tax and MOT are non-endorsable offences (i.e, you can't get points on your licence / loose your licence).
Thanks for the uploads and tips, very clearly presented. Helped pass Mod 1 last week and Mod 2 is coming this Thursday... also testing in Uxbridge and by the way, I also have the Yamaha R125!

Interesting never heard that one being asked, would've answered exactly how you did, good stuff. Pinned your comment so others can see, thanks!
Cool. And I passed. Your videos were a great help, for Mod 1 AND Mod 2.
Time to look for child-sized footpegs!
Hey I’ve watched both your Mod1 & Mod 2 and this morning just before my mod 2 test I watched this one , super helpful and I’m proud to say I passed with flying colours! Great video very helpful
These questions are simple questions but I feel a lot more confident answering them now I’ve heard you run through them here, cheers!

Recognised the Bike straight away. Brunel Lad.
Haha I didn't know the bike was that famous,
do i know you by any chance?
Great content thanks
Cheers for this vid got my mod2 tomorrow nervous as a nun in a brothel
LOOOL hope it went well

Excellent
Have my a2 license in october! Watched your vids. Now im saving for a yamaha mt07 or duke 390. Which one should i get?
Thank you
Very nice video today I passed thank you so much
I love that motobike
Beautifully designed right, best 125 out there
yamaha best bikes around, i currently ride a MT 09 , love it u.k biker.

Adjusting headlight for a pillion? Really? I'd have to remove my headlight to make adjustments and they aren't easy to aim properly.
MrEye4get Just another pointless thing the DVSA teach right! I can guarantee 99.99% wouldn’t even bother or consider doing so either lol
Don't forget Highway Code 112. 😊🏍💨
My favourite one lol
Hi
I have my MOD2 bike test coming up. Just wanted to ask do/can the examiner ask you to do a turn in the road?
Thanks in advance.
A. Adam are you referring to a U-turn on the road?
Yes.
A. Adam Not by standard, no. Don’t worry about it. If you have to due to an accident or something, as long as you do it safely (observations etc) you don’t need to worry about putting your foot down like in the Mod 1! (Or within a defined area)
The Future Thanks. That’s a weight off my mind 😊👍
Do you think I should go for a aprillia rs 125 2 stroke?
Malmsey go for it if you like the bike! Just make sure you know what you’re getting into with 2 strokes.
If you just want a good reliable beginner 125, get a Yamaha YBR125, Honda CBF125 or a R125 if you’re not on a budget
How come you don't have a number plate?
I do - I removed it for the video. Easier than keeping it on and having to blur it out later.
Long mission.
Did you pass the mission?
He asked me how long my knob was.
What did you tell him then?
Wish I got an inbetweeners-style test
A_Wise_Young_Man did he laugh when you said 3"
lol
2 inches on hard

Bike on the centre stand, level for checking the levels
but i have no centre stand on my bike!
Thank you❤️
No problem! 🙌
Thanks for these bike vids they certainly helped me pass...
No problem, happy to hear that
Looks like a very nice area with the forest in the background. Would you mind sharing roughly where this is?
Mod 2 tomorrow guys. On the same bike. Thanks buddy. Hope many questions do they ask?
