- here is a very useful video that me and the instructor thought you guys would find quite helpful in the buildup to you going for your module 1. hope you enjoy and i hope it helps!
Good luck to anyone who's following this video before the test. 👌👌👌
Cheers literally tomorrow
Cheers. Got it next month. Super nervous for mod 1 but more relaxed about mod 2
@@callumdean got my mod1 in 3 days as I write this. It's mod2 that concerns me more, lots more variables on the open road!
Much apparciated 🙈 tomorow
Got mine next week. Thanks for the good luck.
Passed my MOD1 last week. Sailed through first time. The guy in this video, Steve, is my instructor. Absolute legend of a bloke, his teaching style is fantastic and he really knows his stuff. He doesn't teach you to pass a test, he teaches you how to ride a bike and keep yourself safe.
Im here 3 years later watching this preparing for my MOD1. Worried nerves will get the better of me and I'll mess up, but we'll see. Steve looks like a lovely instructor. If you can have a laugh. It makes it easier to control the nerves.
how did you get on? Hope you passed!
Passed my mod 1 today thanks to this video!! Thanks for uploading. Turns out watching TH-cam is good for something! 😅 Mod 2 on the 28th 🤘
Ahhh man thank you for that!!!! Im glad it helped!!!!! So happy for you!! How'd your mod 2 go?
@@rickrides7053 Yes mate passed that also! Probably see you around Nottingham 😉🤘
This has been really helpful....have my mod one in about 5wks! I like that you get to see two views... both watching from the ‘outside’ and ‘the rider view’ .....really helps to know/see what you should be doing, I know the figure of 8 would have confused me if I hadn’t seen it on here! The tips about the speeds for the stop and the cone swerve are great - glad I could see the mph speeds on the bike as that is what I’m used to!! Thank you.
Super video, but one thing he didn’t get right was the U-turn; the examiner expects a check over the shoulder as you begin the manoeuvre but he also expects a further look as you make the u-turn. I know this because my examiner failed the fella before me on this issue. This is meant to be a constructive comment based on my experience at the test centre.
It depends on how long you take to do the maneuver whether you would require another shoulder check.
The head part before you turn is his shoulder check 👍🏻
Correct. Left and right observations before moving off, right lifesaver as you start the manoeuvre, and another just before you turn
Great vid Rickster. Was a pleasure to help you and your Channel out. Look forward to your next one. Cya soon mate. And in reply to Alan Longmore It is you mate. if you think by passing a CBT on a 10bhp 125 is anything like riding a 78bhp Z650 think again. Training is key and its proven to save lives. Surely that’s what counts, it has nothing to do with me getting “Rich” I do it because I want you guys out there to enjoy motorcycling for as many years as i have with very few incidences, 53 years in fact. 😀
Alright Steve 👍 👍 yeah it was a brilliant day, can't thank you enough for your time and invaluable information. I agree that the 650 compared to a 125 is so different and almost like starting to ride all over again. I do feel There are quite a few things to go through though in order to obtain the full license, especially if you already have your full car license but...that's out of everyone's hands apart from the DVSA and if this is the price to pay to get to ride these awesome machines then sign me up!!! I'm loving every second of it! Cheers Steve mate!!!!!
An absolute legend Steve. I've not come across anyone who can teach people how to ride than these guys. Bike Torque thank you for putting up with my stupidity and staying calm 😜
Came from the Bike Torque Facebook page to watch this , Steve and Ken are both friends and were both of my instructors, I had a whale of a time learning with them and have been on many rides with both of them, If you look closely at the Colwick site you will probably see the skid mark of mine ... I managed that with the front wheel locked up and stayed on ... Steve b*llocked me so bad !
Liking the channel mate , Good luck and stay safe.
Thank you for this video! I found it invaluable and Steve’s tips were spot on. Took my Mod 1 earlier today and breezed through with no faults. Mod 2 next week. Fingers crossed.
Such a cool instructor, you don't know how lucky you are
This video is so helpful. Thank you to yourself and also that instructor for explaining everything so perfectly.
That what a great insight…and it’s the first time I’ve seen the swerve test properly….you’ve really put my mind at ease…cheers 👍🏼
Just at the end I realised that this was in Notts so I went back on the video and confirmed it was the same school I took my CBT and will be training for A2 in Jan. I did have a change to talk with Steve but my instructor for the day was Lee. Very helpful video! :)
Brilliant video Rick. Steve seems a lovely instructor and very kind too helping you to film the whole process. Really helpful.
Hi mate, i have my mod 1 in 2 days. I have practiced all of these but have also found this very helpful thanks
Possibly the best video on this subject if ever seen. Booking lessons after my theory. This has helped a lot. Thank you 👍
Love the video. I'm from the U.S.- Can't believe what they make you guys go through over there. But you're much better riders for it I'm sure 👍
I really like your instructor. Mines also a legend, are they all just awesome people?
hi I have been to burton test centre today .. big heads up to LCD and dave. very professional and fantastic experience. (completed my mod 1 and passed YAY I passed thank you LCD training) 👍
Brilliant video. I really enjoy his constructive feedback and his approach is extremely uplifting and confidence building in his students is brilliant and super important. Great instructor.
This boosted my confidence massively
Yes mate, thanks to you and the bike torque guys for sharing this information for all us to learn from 💯👊🏽👍🏾👌🏾
What a top bloke that instructor is. Sounds like a really nice, helpful guy!
Thank you for your video. Much appreciated. A great help.
the instructor made it look so easy
i am seriously thinking of taking my bike test and this has gone a long way as what to expect, thanks for uploading
hey man no worries! unfortunately the audio isnt very clear in places but we only had the one chance to film so i had to upload what we got! some parts are better than others though so atleast it helps a little but aye lol. yeah go for it! it was something i didnt think i was able to do but ended up being one of the most amazing experiences of my life! thank you for watching!
:D Great video! I'm learning at the moment with Steve (instructor in the video). He's a total legend!!!!
Ahhh sweet man!! Yeah he will have you passed and riding confidently in no time! He's a absolutely great bloke. 👍
Hi Rick, got my mod one soon informative and helpful, takes the unknown out of the equation, many thanks looking forward to mod two sequel.
Love this. I have my training today so watching this before I go in 🙏🏽
17:31 you can see a little wobble because you were aiming to stop right next to the line. The easiest way is to simply do a tight U turn and don't look for the line, if you end up a couple of feet away from the line (but obviously still between) then that's perfectly acceptable.
What a great instructor this guy is. I hope mine is this good when I start this weekend.
Ive been taught to do a left and right shoulder check before moving out from parked bay!
Big help. Thanks. I can never get it up to speed for the emergency stop or the swerve. Think i take the speed off just before tbe cameras. Well fingers crossed i pass today....🤞
That was brilliant, thank you, and thanks to the instructor too.
Watched lived 4 of ur vids today. Hope ur still posting to this day
Thanks for sharing! Got my MOD1 tomorrow.
Great instructor, got mine on Monday
Great video thanks
Cheers Rick, enjoyed that. I've got mine coming up soon
Very comprehensive bro. Well done 💯
Excellent video mate, watched a few mod 1 vids and this one is the best, some great tips there especially with the slalom and positioning for the swerve avoidance 👌 hopefully theses help me come Monday 👍
Hi rick great video I am finding these extremely helping to what us next. I have my theory test next week and on to mod1 and then mod2. So this is giving me a Hugh insight. Good luck for your test I don’t blame you for not mentioning it until it’s over wise move not to put too much pressure on yourself but good luck for whenever it is.
Hi Owen! Thanks for watching, I'm so glad you enjoy the videos! Its my first time ever doing anything like this lol. I just thought a good look into the mod 1 might make people see its not that scary and take the plunge to ditch the L plates lol. Thanks so much buddy:)
Well done. You got this down. Have to say that it all looks a little daunting to newbie riders (like me) but I know that it's an absolute doddle once you've been riding a month or two.
Really good video. Currently learning with Steve, top guy and you can tell he’s a really good rider. Really knows what he’s talking about. Very much enjoying my lessons with him so far. I assume you’ve passed both your mod1 and mod2 now?
Best one I’ve seen so far. Thanks
Nice mate. Appreciate the video.💯 2 +half day Training, Mod 1 and mod 2 starting next sunday. Feel like im well prepared. ✔
Ps subscribed and hit that bell bro. 👊
Fantastic and extremely helpful video, thanks man for your effort and time, much appreciated 👍
Great Video... Did you Record your Mod2 ?
thats what im looking for lol. enjoyed the first.. was looking forward to the second
I done mine at Enfield, everything was good, as soon as I came out the gate didn't realize there was a rock and stepped on it dropping the bike, Examiner said no one saw that, park your bike in the bay. Glad I passed LoL
Aayyeeeeee well done on passing dude!! Hahaha sounds like you got a bang on examiner then mate 👍👍 mine failed me for 1kph too slow through the swerve haha buzzing for you! Only one test awwy my dude 👍👍
@@rickrides7053 remember as long as you do everything legal and safely you will pass. GOODLUCK
Got mine at Enfield next week. Doing it on my 125 moped. Any tips?
Great video. Very helpful. Thanks!
I failed my last one struggled moving the bike for parking but failed as I did my hazard avoidance, did the cones too much throttle and missed the box 😔 re test Friday
Please, what gear should one do the slalom and the figure of 8 in?
Crazy they give you another chance if your not fast enough on the speed run, but not a slow, foot down during u-turn (fail). meh!
Thinking about taking my test soon wonna ride a bike asap looks fun but everything is a leading curve allot of my mates, famlee are trying to tell me not to get a bike as there dangerous but I enjoy riding bikes, in life if somethings dangerous you just gotta be more careful
So you don't have to use indicators on the test circuit?
I'm a little concerned with the U turn. How I was taught was you get the two shoulder checks in, proceed to ride up the left hand white line, you would then perform a right life saver, return your head back to centre for a second, and then commit to the turn.
At no point have I seen anyone pull of, stop alongside the white line to do the lifesaver, them commit to the turn.
Has anyone passed a mod1 doing this just out of interest?
I have a full bike license just for reference.
** Instructor seems really approachable and friendly with his students!
I failed my mod1 last year, really lucky that they let you do this training on the actual mod1 site! I have my test booked next week, the u turn I didn't know you could stop before the turn I thought it was one movement?
Looks useful but unfortunately the sound isn't great. I wish I could have heard him better.
@rickrides i am rewatching this over and over as i have just passed my theory on the 11th of june and got my mod1 on 8th of july it has only took 37years of my life and only took 5 years of riding to get it sorted and missing your videos man
Also you have given me the inspiration Togo for my big bike test if it was not for you I would be still not even thinking about it
Lol I'll probs be crying from nerves even on my training of the u turn 😂😂 got it next month but so nervous especially in the wet
One big thing , everytime you stop you should take it out of gear,
Thank you
This is really helpful watch for a basic rider. had my cbt for 5 years, finally passed my theory this week and booked myself a mod 1 for next week, no lessons apart from this vid. Hope they allow me to take it on my sym symphony 125?
Did you pass mod 1?
Only if you're doing your A1
Nice 1 bud doing mine today
Ayyee no worries man!! And bloody good luck!! Don't over think it :) if not today then the next time so don't worry yourself :)
That was brilliant mate good luck with your test. Doing my soon
ahh man thank you so much!! cheers :)
Quick question , was you riding a 125 before your mod1 or did you just do your CBT and go straight into mod1/2
Hey man 👍 I was riding a 125 for about 3 months before hand :) thank you for watching dude.
Got theory august and mod1 September time and October mod 2 really stressful with the theory because i must pass it to do the test ive booked ans payed deposit for
We have much more cones and we have to work with digital corrector for speed ans slow motion (12 seconds) funny to see in your country 😉
I have question: I have booked for A1 mod 1 test I have tried to find if my moped sym fiddle 2 125 is allowed to use for the test?
I'm no expert but I think if it's road legal (tax, mot and insured) you can, but I think it might restrict you to only autos if its an auto
Thank you for your reply really appreciate.
Great question and did you take the test? i have a sym symphony 125 also not on the official list. I wrote into DVSA as I booked my mod 1 for next week without realising.
Ey up Ricky looking good m8! When's yor test?
Hi mate, thanks a lot! Test day is soon lol, I didn't want to mention when because I didn't want too much pressure on me with every one knowing haha, but its soon mate:)
Hi rick When have you got your mod1 test
Hi buddy, I'm trying to keep that to myself lol but it is very soon, I didn't want to say when and gibe myself too much pressure to pass lol. But pass or fail ill still be letting you know the outcome:)cheers for watching buddy.
Where is this guy base good trainer booking mod1 so looking about :D
I'm over 50 what do I need to do to get a full licence. Do I need to do mod 1 and 2.
Don't know if you've got sorted yet, but you need to first get a provisional license, then your CBT and theory test. From there you will have a restricted license to a 125cc bike with no highway/motorway access and no passengers. To get a full A category license with direct access you have to then complete your mod 1 & 2 on a category A bike which if I remember is like 550cc and over. Hope this helps. :)
great video though i did struggle to hear the guy
cheers bud, yeaah its shame about the audio, we did plan to go back to the grounds and re record it but then covid hit! so i just thought i would leave this video up as it might help someone in parts and hopefully before long get a clearer better version up. thanks for watching any how buddy :)
@@rickrides7053 all good mate
Hopefully it’ll help me!!
be good if we could clearly hear what the guy on the bike is saying!
has anyone taken this on their own bike?
Who was your instructor
It’s Steve from Bike Torque in Nottingham
@@NickyLong89 cheers mate could do with a decent instructor
@@zc31s56 if you’re local to Nottingham then I would high recommend these guys
@@NickyLong89 cheers bud
Agree or disagree. But as far as I'm concerned, bike tests these days are just a money-making scam. When I was younger, you took your test on the road with one guy standing and watching you. and it must have taken half an hour. All this crap now is just to con people out of a lot of money, and I don't like being conned. I haven't passed my test, but I was riding a 250-cc for years and never had any accidents. It may be important if you intend to ride a high-powered bike but not a 250-cc There is nothing they could teach me that would make me ride any better. I'm sure it would be far easier and less hassle to get your pilots license. I only wish I had taken my test before they brought all this bullsh*t in.
nice upload .. Thanks
Those shoulder checks were piss poor to be fair,and your an instructor..why do you look at the floor and not behind you,remember,your trainees will be doing the same, and not really looking BEHIND THEM,which could cost lives,!!
Just passed my mod one today! Absolutely chuffed to bits
Woooooooooooooo!!!!! Sorry mate I've just seen this!! I bet your mod 2 is done now too aye haha ride safe buddy :)
@@rickrides7053 yep all done thank goodness!
@@aidens04 go on maaaaatteeeee!!!! 👍👍👍👍 how amazing is the feeling of being told you've passed? I'll never forget it!!
@@rickrides7053 very relieved as it was very stop start with covid restrictions and got it passed just before the third lockdown!
Fantastic video.
Are you able to help me understand better. Am I right in thinking I can book a mod1 and mod2 without having to pay for a test centres training before?
Pity the Instuctor's voice is so badly recorded, very interesting vid though.
Good stuff but the sound is terrible.
I AV got my mod one Thur morning am craping my sen AV got a 4hr lesson on Wednesday
Brilliant vid mate great of Steve your instructor for letting you film him this as definitely gave me a heads up for April 20th respect 👍
He did not pass again he forgot his observations when he left the yard lol.
Yes I know it dont matter.
Why's the other guy got a "little head"? was he a pea brain or something? xD
Nice video and great instructor doing mine soon
Ahh I did like this test center at nottingham.
Very good but found it hard to hear the instructor .
I can't hear what the instructor is saying
What a lovely guy! I hope when I do my Mod 1 I get an instructor as lovely as him! 😁🤞🤞💪👏
awesome thanks
Had my first lesson today, mod1 on Tuesday! 😛 can’t wait!
Did you pass?
@@riverhuntersuk7387 certainly did and passed my mod2 this week too!!!
@@nathanwilson4434 Well do e brother... Ride safe.
