2:16 is how I introduced my new girlfriend to my family at the Christmas dinner.
hahaha leggend!
jajaja
😅😅😅
😂😂😂😂
Passed my CBT today. Horrible weather, windy, soaking wet. And yet I loved it.
Great to hear!
Failed my mod one because i almost dropped the bike as it got cold and almost stalled on the 8 so word of advice. Warm up the bike!!
There sly for failing you though lesson learnt I'm sure
Dint your instructor turn it on n run it before you even got to go on it that’s there issue
Passed mine first time today. Had only 2 hours of teaching before in total. Felt so out my comfort zone and 100% thought I would fail. Got 1 minor for going to slow through the trap for the avoidance test..
do they teach you how to change gear etc?
thats cbt stuff mate😭
How can you get told off for going too slow lol swear there assholes most of these test places they don’t even teach you safer practices to be honest you learn more on the road than in a lil car park going around cones for a hour 😅
I have been practicing my mod 1 on a 125 for the last 4 years haha got those core skills nailed, mod 1 training (on bigger bike) tomorrow and test in 5 days. Wish me luck
how did it go!?
@@BlackMesaEmployee passed mod 1 first time. Failed mod 2 twice now
@@biking-northwestwhat did you fail on if you don't mind me asking.
@@biking-northwestHow's your mod 2 going? What did you fail it for? I have mine in a few weeks!
4 years really
The best video when it comes to the Mod 1,simple explaining,each element wrote down in case you get to wonder,graphic demonstration as a bonus, love it.
I start my CBT in a couple weeks and can’t wait to get to this level!
Get straight out get a couple of months on the road experience theory, mod 1, mod 2 nothing better I passed my mod 2 today
How you getting on now?
@@marshallwhiting8258 I guess you will never know lol
I envy you this sensible exam. It is nice and adequate to check skills. Here in Poland, the exam is just money-maker for government. Close to being impossible to pass, especially for someone starting with motorcycles ("skilled beginner"). Like fast slalom - 30km/h sharp turns - easy to touch cones. There are even some cases of breaking legs on Polish exam because tasks are so risky.
You think we have it easy look at the us if actually a joke
based poland doesn't care if you break your legs.
@@anthonydabbs2320 US system is better as it gives you easier access and more freedom. These tests are greedy money grubbing trash from the government to fleece off honest people.
Theory done ✅ can’t wait, fingers crossed 🤞🤞
Passed mine on Friday! How are you doing on year 3?
@@fabioa.5490 loving every second riding, mod 1 took me 2 times and smashed the mod2! Good luck mate fingers crossed 🤞
Done my CBT 4 times now and it's just ran gonna book it and my full test going all the way this time and get a big boy bike
Excellent - best of luck when the time comes.
Your instructor seems very nice and can easy any concern. Thank you for these videos, CBT, THIS and MOD2. Been very helpful. I’m going through my direct access. Been driving a car for 20+ years and decided to take the plunge. Bit nervous on gears and going through process on junctions believe it or not. But these videos help. Thanks
You are welcome! Glad it was helpful and let us know how you get on
Hi, all passed now. Been riding a month. Put 800 miles on my bike and love it!!
Got mod 1 booked for a couple of weeks time. Been on an A2 since 23.. 32 soon about time to change up. Thanks for the vid!
Good luck!
Passed today! No minors! On an old cbf600. Thanks for the video. Helped to calm me down.
Fantastic news, ride safe and of course, enjoy it!
This just showed up on my autoplay list although I did my DA course years ago. Good damn this seems a complicated system compared to what I did!
Good luck everyone and hope you enjoy, bikes are epic fun and you'll find a whole new community of friends through riding!
Watching and rewatching. Test is on Wednesday next week. I'm so nervous!
Getting ready for my Mod 1, on the 700cc bike. Some nice tips there.
Got my CBT on Monday 15th. Training on Tuesday til Thursday, then MOD 1 & MOD 2 on Friday. Absolutely crapping it, but excited at the same time. Nice tips, especially about keeping the revs up and using clutch control on U turn.
Hey there! Good luck with your CBT today (if you meant today) and with the rest of your motorcycle training throughout the rest of the week! Remember to relax and enjoy it and you will absolutely smash it!
@@BikeMatters Thanks very much. CBT is at 1pm with training all week. Mod1 and mod 2 on Friday. Will keep you posted. 👍
@@RedlineRossi Definitely let us know how you get on! Best of luck!
@@BikeMatters Update: I passed my mod 1 & mod 2 today, with 5 minors over both tests. Absolutely horrendous weather with strong winds and driving rain on the south coast. After all the glorious weather we have had it just seemed so typical that this would happen 😀
That's the law of the sod, I suppose. Now on to looking for a bike. Super excited
😀👍
@@RedlineRossi Massive congratulations mate! I bet you are absolutely chuffed, and to pass in awful weather must make it all the more sweeter! Plus, driving in normal conditions should seem a bit of a doddle compared to what you overcame on your test haha! What kind of Bike are you thinking about? Make sure to let us know and we will put you in contact with Lexham Insurance for an insurance quote! ~ JC
I have my mod 1 in hull this Wednesday, doing it on the trident 660, dreading the U turn other parts of the test i'm comfortable with
Thanks for sharing this. I've got my mod1 in a few weeks and, despite riding a 125 for a year, I'm absolutely bricking it!
I’ve got mine soonish am shitting it too but remember if you fail you can always do it again
Enjoy! You'll be fine.
Just to update you, took my mod1 today. Passed first time, no minors. Success!
Congrats mine is in s few weeks.
@@MrBizteck just stay calm, remember your clutch & rear brake control and you'll smash it. MOD2 is a doddle once you get past MOD1. Good luck mate
I’ve been watching bike exams videos from different countries as I’m taking exams for bigger bikes, and japan is super easy, and the uk one’s reasonable.
I’m from Macau, and ours exams are short but very difficult, we only need to do one thing before road test, which is 4 cones on a slope, one lane wide, we have came to a stop on the slope, then start and go around all the clones on the slope twice, but It pretty much covers all the clutch and break controls and figure 8 and everything.
Thanks for your comment!
For the young rider you can get your A license at 21 if you have had your a2 for 2 years
Crazy how much room you have on figure of 8. On Northern Ireland we have 4m each side and 5m to end. We must stay within this, we can't go around the last yellow cone either.
You do have to keep it nice and controlled and not go too far out, but I'm not sure there are any strict guidelines for how close you need to stay.. Jim did tell me to try and stay within the yellow cone on the test though! ~ Alex
@@BikeMatters thanks for the reply. I know you can go around the yellow, although you didn't. I'm trying to point out the difference with regards to the amount of room. I think your video is very good and would help a lot people. I was shocked when I found out the difference over here.
Same in Romania mate
Passed today Swansea depo long time coming been waiting to get a test because of covid hope to get a mod 2 in three weeks 🤞
Well in mate! Best of luck with your Mod 2!
Mod 2 booked June 26 🤞
Got date wrong June the 22nd passed mod 2 today over the moon
@@barrydavies9747 Congrats!
For the slow turns and the figure 8 I discovered that extending your leg in the same direction as your turning direction balances the bike a lot. I guess it's the same thing when you extend your arms to get a better balance when walking on something very narrow and thin.
To avoid confusion I'm guessing you mean foot on peg but knee out from the fuel tank.
Great video, please post Mod 2!!
Thanks! We're working on the Mod 2 video soon - is there anything you'd want it to cover in particular? Any suggestions are welcome!
@@BikeMatters Just an overview of what's required to pass the test. The editing and commentary was perfect on the first video. I've got my training, mod 1 & 2 booked in for December. Feeling a little nervous but also confident it seems the pass rate is fairly high.
@@BikeMatters Passed my Mod 1 today with no faults!
@@heavyfriends9981 Congratulations! We are currently planning our Mod 2 video and should have it up soon!
had sv650 for my test so I did not need to worry about revs - made test so much easier
Credit to the instructor, he seems excellent
Jim is fantastic!
This definitely is a help to me as I’m thinking about my mod 1 very soon done my cbt learned a lot from watching this Thankyou
How was it?
Dude thanks for sharing, got my DAS next month, great to get insight into what's involved and things to practise on the 125 before I get there :-)
No worries mate! Make sure to check out the Mod 2 video too!
I was told not to use the rear brake when doing the figure of eight.I found that really useful.
RACHEL ANNE Taylor Seriously? I was told to feather the clutch and use the rear brake.
It’s a lot smoother if you only use your clutch and throttle to control your speed.
Will give it a try. Starting my training next week. I’ll see how I get on without the rear brake.
Daveyboy1983 Yes I know the chugging noise you’re talking about. Thanks
I don't see why you can't use the rear brake. I use higher revs, light clutch, rear break and counter balancing while looking where I want to go and I can do a U turn within a single parking space. Granted it's a CB125R but found it more stable on my friend's CBR650R, even if not quite as tight. I need to work on using less brake but still want some in there.
hi I heard you asked about bring your own bike, if you don't have your full license how can you tax and insure a big bike please
Don't know if it's ever happened b4 went for my Mod1 with 3 others 1st guy went to to manual handling but forgot to put side stand down so when he got off bike fell instant fail, was doing brilliantly until hazard manoeuvre & hit the cone. I had 2 re do emergency stop as was little slow on first 1
I am in the process of learning , it's my new year resolution ! I have never ever touched Motorbike in my life ! quite nervous tbh
Theory test passed, cbt in 2 weeks , das mod 1 test in 4 weeks and mod 2 in 5 weeks. Watching these videos everyday 😂
Best of luck with it all buddy! Sure you will absolutely smash it. Hope the videos help.
Cheers appreciate it , will be watching them over and over til i take the tests
Can I ask how much experience you have on a bike? I’m just learning the Highway Code etc now, then I’ll bob into the training centre to speak to someone about booking the CBT. I’m just not sure how many training days I’ll need during all of this. I’m 26 so I suppose I can book them in as soon as I want! I just want to be A1 and I’m hoping I can do it in 3 months.
How'd it work out ?
I passed back in 1982 but I have only just Brought a new bike after 35 years a triumph street twin 900cc that was a bit hairy riding that back from Cardiff but I could not get a refresher course .
Enjoy, take it easy!
Very very helpful & put together I have my mod1 coming up in a week!
How much did your mod one cost?
Interesting that you say not to rely too much on the back brake. I have found it easiest to set the throttle, keep the clutch at the biting point and then regulate everything else with the back brake. If I feel the bike slowing too much I just ease off the brake and it comes right back to where I want it. Simple. I know that over the longer term, this probably wears out the back brake more quickly but since you're not really going to be doing too many figures of 8 in real life, I think it's ok. Anyway, got my Mod 1 tomorrow (yikes!). Practice day yesterday (on a much smaller and tighter course) went perfectly. Just got to control the nerves now, which isn't easy. Not taking anything for granted, that's for sure.
The high speed manoeuvres are so scary, particularly the bazard avoidance, it feels so unnatural - my module 1 is next week and im so nervous about getting rhe speed right 😅 just need to trust the bike and remember to belt it out the corner!
You got this!
On the Gov website it says if you 19+ you can go direct access by doing your cbt and theory then straight to an A2
Theory passed today Bike test in the summer 🏍
Congrats, best of luck for the test!
@@BikeMatters thanks buddy 👍
You mentioned you can have your own bike? How does one insure a big bike without a license? I.e. could I get a Ducati monster, insure it for my bike lessons?? Doesn’t seem possible
thanks for the great video dude i'm 1 hour away from doing my first mod 1 lesson
amazing thank you guys for everything i was so confused and i am going for the practical...! Thank you :)
I had my birthday this week becoming 20 going for the 400cc license in about 2-3 weeks wish me luck.
Best of luck with it all
how can you bring your own bike if you only have CBT at that point?
On a trailer or accompanied by an instructor (good luck with that) and good luck getting insurance unlicensed for a bigger bike without being absolutely shafted in the wallet. Easier and cheaper just to use the instructors bike.
@@DarksideoftheMoon79exactly , simple as car exams too , just bring the examiners car which you trained all these days , some idiots bring their grand dads x range cars which barely have any power or mot range and they failed 😨 (not worth it)
Basically is the part 3 of a CBT, but with bigger bike.
If you can only ride a 125cc with the CBT, how do you supply your own bike for the DAS? Wouldn't you need a trailer?
Yes, you would need an alternative way of getting the bike to and from the course until you have the licence to legally ride it on the road!
Thank you, that is really helpful indeed respect,and safe riding 🙏. Thanks again.
These bike tests do you need to do them all in sequence or can you go direct to a full a licence after doing CBT or must you do module 1 and then module 2 and then do the full A licence.
Thoughts on this would be welcomed ☺️
Hi Kurt, so you have to do these in order. So CBT, Theory (which you could also do before the CBT), Mod 1 and then Mod 2, which (when passed) gives you the full licence, or licence restricted to A1/A2/A depending on what motorcycle or scooter you pass on. There's no option to do them in any other order.
I've got my one today. Right frightened 😱
I hope it went well?
Failed,too slow on the swerve,retook 6 weeks later,and passed.
Must have been my youtube name change 😂
The instructor did walk with me on the slow test. And also told me I was too slow on the eight.
Thank you.
please provide some of the more techniques
Any news on when the Mod 2 test will be up?
After your cbt do you have buy a 125 first or can you just wait to do all test before buying a A2 friendly bike.
If you’ve only got your cbt you can only ride a 125. If you have your a2 (19 years old+ ) you can ride 47bhp bike or 94bhp restricted to 47bhp. Then if you have your A just hop on any bike you want. Long story short you don’t need a 125 if you have a higher licence than a cbt
I did my CBT last summer but haven’t been riding. I was thinking of doing my A2 this summer but I won’t be riding till at least winter 2022 or summer 2023. At that point I’ll be 23 years old. Should I just wait out till I’m eligible for the full A licence? Not sure what to do.
It is all personal opinion tbh. You can do direct access from the age of 24. Only you can decide what is best for you and your situation. Best of luck whatever way you decide and hope our videos are helpful!
thanks man, great stuff
Isn't putting your foot down on the u turn and instant fail?
If you use your own bike you need a way to get it to the test centre without riding it.
Hey there, did you guys do a module 2 video?
This is a very good example
Hey Elijah! Thanks for your kind words! We have got one in the pipeline which we will be working on soon! Make sure to subscribe to be notified of when it goes live!
I have my test today.... Wish me luck.
We hope you were successful!
@@BikeMatters thank you. Passed.
Cant wait to pass
Cheers for the vid pal mod 1 in morning
I have my mod one in November 🤞
Best of luck!
Hi everyone,
I’m taking my mod 1 in two weeks,
Do I need to rent a bike or they provided ? I was reading many comments and it’s a bit confusing
Thank you in advance
I’m taking the exam in London
Gear 3 no Rev not clutch i between the cones 👊
can’t wait to hit the roads
Don’t have a CBT and only ridden a bike on roads a few times. I’m a Very fast learner and have ridden mountain bikes and bmx’s since I was 3…I want an R3 for next summer. Would i be sound just going straight through the CBT onto the MOD1 and 2?
Hello. How much does it cost to do the Mod 1 an direct access? Thank you.
Mod 1 and mod 2 prices can vary, mines £700.
£700 how did you get to pay that’s amazing
Only ever ridden scooters geared& auto , do you think possible to go to this on geared bike , to pass mod1 , ? And how long training ?
It all depends, everyone is different. Most people can pick up a geared 125 on a one day CBT. Some others might need a bit longer. Training schools such as CAM rider offer training & test packages these are well worth considering.
Just booked my theory test. Dream starter bike is cb500f
Is mod 1 and 2. Not included in CBT
We need a graduated license system here in the states...imo
Really helpful video - how much did the training cost? I have ridden a 125 geared bike for about 6 months and most of this looks straight forward. Just want the most cost effective route ect. Any more steer greatly appreciated.
Thank you! Training costs are dependent on how much training you need & where you are, really. If you're completely confident in your riding you may need fewer lessons, but it pays off to have an extra 1 (or 2!) to get more used to the bigger bike.
I'd love to say an exact price, but it depends on you and your location. Check the Camrider website for their current prices and offers!
Try to do it on your 125. Mod 1 is 15.50. You'll see how you feel. Then you can repeat it on something bigger, fe. from friend. Just make sure you have right insurance when using bigger bike and you'll be alright.
Could someone tell me: Do i take my own bike to a mod1 and 2 im confused lol
Hi I’ have been trying to do mod1 and keep failing in either on emergency stop for skidding/ or speeding.
Why my bike fall down if press front brake to hard and if not then rear brake skid? Any advice plz
If I am 21, can I skip A1 and do CBT then straight to A2?
Yes, you can do an A2 from the age of 19 I believe.
@@BikeMatters cheers
Once you have done your Mod 1 or Mod 2 even, do you ever have to redo them? Like do they expire after a while like a CBT and theory, or even need to redo them for a higher licence (e.g A2 or A)?
Nope that’s it once you’ve passed
@@leahwarren666 I passed already 😅
So do you not need to do a theory test if you are just renewing your CBT and not doing a full bike licence test?
As long as you have a valid uk provisional license, you do not require a motorbike theory test to renew your cbt. If you have been riding with cbt for a decently long period of time, in most cases when you go to do your cbt, the examiner should just sign you a new cbt certificate and let you go without having to redo the whole cbt again.
@@realist2195 thank you yeah, just got really confused when booking to renew it, I’m not going for my full license so all is good
I want to do my a1 licence and do it on a electric motorcycle
Hi Guys, 51yrs old, just got CBT cert. Got full car licence, showing A for bike, but under the 12 column, it says 79(3).... Am I still restricted to a 125cc? As I'd like to get a bigger bike to get the feel for the weight and extra power etc...before I go for the Mod1 etc.
Thanks 👍
If you're still waiting for a reply 79 (3) means you're restricted to trikes only so no you can only have a 125cc bud
Thanks for making this video. Really helpful!
I’m 30 and I’m looking to do my CBT in the next few weeks I’ve not ridden a motorbike on the road before so after a bit more info. Once I’ve done my CBT can I then go straight to the DAS? Or is there more training before that. Thank you
Hiya Matty, you should be find to go straight into your DAS once you've passed your CBT. You may be able to find a training school that can offer both in quick succession.
Is the u turn from stationary ?
11:34 do you have to stay from one side of the box to the other on the u turn? Or can I come out the uturn in a shorter distance? I’m doing the A1 on a Grom so my u turns are shorter than most peoples.
Failed my MOD1 today on lifesavers.Rode all my life but picked up too many bad habits.Fairdo's but i wouldve thought MOD1 would be more on the manouvres themselves and lifesavers would be more observed on MOD2.
Sorry to hear that Paul! Examiners will look for all components of riding to be included in ever part of the test to highlight you know to do it! Fingers crossed you manager to pass it soon!
How many lessons/ hours did you tsk before your mod 1?
Excluding CBT I think it would have been somewhere between 4-8 hours.
@@BikeMatters I've checked the website, they only do several day packages, how did you only get a few hours?
One lesson before mod1 I had mine two days before but somtimes it's possible to get a lesson on the same day
can I just have a shot at mod 1 with no training and do mod 2 later? if so then how much can i stretch out doing mod 2 for while still keeping my mod 1 valid?
You have to do your CBT before you can attempt your Mod 1.
@@BikeMatters sorry, I forgot to include that I already did my CBT like the tard I am.
Sorry to ask what might be a silly question, but if I fail the on road mod, mod 2, does that automatially invalidate the first mod, mod 1? And therefore Id have to do mod 1 again prior to moving on to mod 2.....Thanks..
You get a separate mod 1 certificate, you just have to retake mod 2
How do I insure a bike that I don’t have a license for?
You won't be able to get insurance on a bike that you don't have licence for unless you are planning on taking a test in the future, in which case you can choose to start a policy from that date. If you fail the test however, you must call to cancel the cover and you might still be charged something for cancellations etc.
You can insure a bike or any vehicle for that matter without a full license (you will need a provisional) but it will be very very expensive.
@@DarksideoftheMoon79nope my insurance for honda cbf 125cc on CBT is only 200£ per year (yeah I drive cars and vans for 10 years with 5 years NCB still many says it doesn’t make any difference on bike insurance)
Hello, I'm 31, I have a full driving car license from almost 13 years and I passed my CBT 2 months ago, since the end of December I'm driving every day my 125cc. Now I really want to remove those L plates and carry my wife. Do I need to do a theoretical course/exam and than the practical one, or I can go straight to the practical? Is any price variance between A1, A2 and full A or it doesn't matter?
You need to do theory test and because you are over 25 go straight away to A full license don’t west time with a1 a2
Yes you have to do a motorcycle specific theory test regardless of whether you have done one for car previously they are slightly different. Prices for A1 A2 A are the same you’re 31 so you have direct access to A.
yo i just booked my mod 1 for my A2 will they supply the bike?
Presumably you booked through a riding school, best to contact them if you don't know...
Just wondering can you get your A1 licence Just straight of the bat when you turn 17 without doing any tests prior
You'd need a valid CBT and theory test first I believe.
@@BikeMatters thanks
Adam Bessadi you have to be 19 to do your a1 test I believe.
Can I use a 125cc to pass a full license?
No.
Weird seeing such a big bike with an L plate
It has to because its the legal requirement. And when he does the road bit so another's know is learner like cars have to have them e.g
@@leahlambert5737 yeah I know, but it was still weird, since usually you only see 125cc bikes with wee types using L plates
How big is the bike
looks easy enough .
storm warrior it is....
Do you do your cbt all in 1 day for 125
Typically you would do your CBT in a day, unless the instructor feels you need more training then he may ask you to complete more training on a separate day before you can ride on the road.
And how would you get the bike there 😏
Great vid. Have you done you Mod2 yet?
Cheers Mark! Yeah, all completed and passed - our Mod 2 video will be on the way soon
