#mod2 #mod2tips #PassMod2
Thanks so much for these videos! I passed my Mod 2 this week and my only preparation was to watch all of your Mod 2 videos. I had your voice in my head during the test - “mirror, mirror, signal, wee life saver”!
Haha
Yesterday (22 November 2024) I passed my MOD 2 test.
I would like to thank the owner of this video.
This helped me a lot.
Thank you very much.
Mod 2 is in three hours, and I swear I've learned more from these videos than my instructor by far. Really appreciate the hard work that went into these dude!
Much appreciated, Dean. All the best for the Mod 2 mate. 🤜🤛
@@MotoEcosse - Managed to pass. If I'm ever in your neck of the woods, I owe you nine hundred pints. Cheers again man!
That's awesome, Dean. Congratulations man. 👏 🍻🤜🤛
Got mine tomorrow!!!! 🤞
@@JRSuperSportdid you pass!? I have mine next week
Just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to make these videos.I looked through all of them and they were a big help for me to prepare for my mod 2.Very informative plus amazing advice.I’m 52 and with you’re help a I passed my mod2 4 days ago first time.looking forward to getting my first bike now and as I continue to learn I will remember you’re good advice.once again thanks mate.
Brilliant!!!!! you should be an Instructor. you have explained this so well !!!!
Appreciate that, Adam.
I thought he was until the end of one of his videos 😂
Totally agree. Thank u so much for the video!
Passed my Mod 2 today, first time, and have to say these videos are worth their weight in gold. Having all of this info on hand before even starting training gave me the edge. 3 minors, but wouldn't have cared if it was 9, a pass is a pass. Thank you @motoecosse
Had my Mod 2 today, passed it. Spent 2 hours watching your vids before I went. Just wanted to say these were the best Vids for advice I’ve watched. Thank you as you defo helped me pass👍
This really answered a lot of questions for me . I thought your tuition was very easy to follow.
Thank you
Andy from Doncaster, South Yorkshire.
Really concise, and your delivery is excellent. Your commanding voice really gets the message dialed in. I can imagine you being in my head next time I'm out.
Smashed my mod1 with only 1 minor, which was going 49kph on my avoidance, which im happy with. Got mod 2 end of October so love watching all these videos.
Great stuff lad, was watching your videos for last couple of days and passed my motorcycle exam today without any issues 🇮🇪 🎉 You have a very helpful content here, thanks again. All the best.
Been watching loads of youtube videos to prepare for my mod2 on monday next week and yours are my favourite. Exactly the kind of stuff I was looking for and I'm learning loads! Subbed
Appreciate that. All the best with the test.
@@MotoEcosse passed with 1 minor overtook a cyclist too close. But a pass is a pass!
Absolutely. Congratulations man.
Brilliant knowledge given, unfortunately my instructor never gave me such details,much appreciated thanks
The best mod 2 help you'll find on you tube,Thank-you for making them
Hey pal. Just wanted to say a big thank you! Passed my mod 2 today and think that you're videos massively helped! Keep up the good work! Cheers 🍻
Hey, Jack. That's awesome to hear mate. Glad you found them helpful. Congrats on the pass. 🤜🤛
Big thanks to you for these videos. I passed my Mod 2 today ( Over the Moon ) and these wee lessons and advise are invaluable. Cheers!!
That's awesome, Tambo. Congratulations mate. 🤜🤛
Great video, even though i passed my mod 2 last year i still enjoy these vids, also great to hear a Scottish accent, greetings from Paisley.
Appreciate that man, glad you're enjoying them. 🤜🤛
I am preparing for moto exam, next Friday, in Romania. Your videos are really valuable and a lot to learn from them. Thank you!
Just a side note ..Scott's are brilliant. And this teach is just on it all the way ... safe as bolts. Massive subscribe.... smart editing brother smooth operator
Passed my mod 2 today first time with 1 minor and I can't thank you enough, these videos 100% made me pass
That's awesome mate, congratulations. 🤜🤛
What a find! There are a plethora of these types of films on the interweb but these from @MotoEcosse are the gold standard. Thanks for taking the time, care and skill to create these excellent tutorials. I have my CBT, Mod 1 and Mod 2 all in an intensive week at the beginning of August and I will overdose on your Tips and Guides. A bit nervous as I have not ridden for over 30 years, although I have a full driving licence and mountain bike regularly the idea of getting on a Kawasaki Z650 is a bit daunting (it's the bike I do the weeks course on). Thanks again for all your amazing help
Ps. You would be a fantastic instructor, if you are not already
Glad you found them helpful, Maf. That's great to hear you're taking up riding again. All the best for August. Not an instructor yet but start training next year with my old riding school. Ride safe buddy. 🤜🤛
Man !!! Thank you so much for this video, you CANNOT imagine how much it helped me to pass my MOD2. I am really grateful I found your content. I surfed for many many hours months in and struggled so much to understand what is been said in regards to this topic on youtube until I found your channel. Thank you very much really!!! if it is possible for you to make a video on spiral roundabouts specially the hillington one in Glasgow that will help 100's of people that fall off their MOD2 on that point. Please keep up the amazing content and thank you again for this video. I will be looking forward to the next ones. Have a great one brother.
Thank you!!!
Hey, Luis. Much appreciated man. So glad the video helped. I did make a few videos on roundabouts, mostly on the basics though. I'll look into that roundabout as well. Ride safe bud. 🤜🤛
@@MotoEcosse cheers man I’ll be keeping an eye on the channel have a good one brother 👍👍
Cheers for all the helpful tips mate. Passed my Mod2 A today on a second attempt. Your 'lifesaver-lane' explanation really helped me on test. Safe riding.
Great to hear mate. Congratulations. 🤜🤛
@@ifbbreezh3077 Thankyou brother, stay safe on the road and best of luck on test. 👍
@@luckylionheart thanks man! 🙌🏽
Just like to add. Your videos are informative and helpful. They gave me extra confidence to pass my A licence today. Ta..🏍️🏍️🏍️
Passed my mod 2 today in Mitcham London, first attmept. Thank you so much for all the helpful tips. Your videos were the best thing to watch the night before the test!!!
Glad they helped mate. 🤜🤛
Hello I passed today thanks for your help , watching your films defiantly got me through it , I am a very happy 62 year old
Fantastic mate. Congratulations. Welcome to the 2 wheels club. Ride safe buddy. 🤜🤛
Have to say, this is a brilliant demonstration. So much better than my motorcycle training school.
Cheers, Garry. Appreciate that. 🤜🤛
Educational video, the blading, emphasis on the life saver and why and when. Lane positions etc
Thanks. These videos are great and address all the manoeuvres and positioning that I need to know.
I got a cbt and just 125cc i havent gone out on it yet after watching this and your round about video i fell i like i know enough to start thanks mate massive help .
Typing this out after I just did my Mod 2 and I passed. Mostly thanks to this guy, got 3 minors and I would've gotten more if I didn't do my research. I don't drive so I'm brand new to the road other than being on a 125 for some time so it's all a little daunting but good luck to anyone doing theirs. and thank you for the video my man!
Glad you found the videos useful bud. Congrats on your pass as well man, well done. 🤜🤛
Hi I just want to say a big thanks for all your content it really and I mean it helped me pass my mod 2 (second attempt), especially for someone who retakes their test and there’s not much training in between that’s where these videos came in very handy
The amount of notes written from all the information you've given in your videos is outstanding my friend. You really would be an amazing motorcyclist instructor. Keep up the fantastic work. Watching your videos is giving me hope for what the examiner wants from me in order for me to pass the retake Module 2. Again thank you very much for all this information.
🤜🤛
Got my Mod 2 this Tuesday coming and your videos have been invaluable. Thanks mate
This are great tips and informative videos. Thank you for taking the time to do them! I have just passed my Mod 1 and next week I have got the Mod 2. Roundabouts make me nervous ah, I tend to panic a little bit when reading the signs. Anyways, Great great videos again, You should be an instructor! Good luck with everything.
All the best for your mod 2. 🤜🤛
Absolutely amazing! The detail that you give left no stone unturned - thank you so much!
No problem, Jon. Glad you found it helpful. 🤜🤛
Excellent vid series. Just passed my MOD 1, these are a massive help in MOD2 test prep. Cheers!
You're welcome, Jack. Congrats on passing MOD 1. All the best for MOD 2. 🤜🤛
I just passed my mod 2 yesterday
Thank you very much yours video played a very crucial role on this 🫡🫡🫡🍺
Ride safe all
Congratulations mate. Well done. 🤜🤛
Thanks for taking the time to make these videos, they are a great help, i start my DAS on the 17th July, and my mod 1 is on the 20th, and Mod 2 on the 21st,.
Great videos with loads of useful information! One of these days, hopefully sooner rather than later, I'll actually get onto a bike and be able to put it into practice, many thanks.
Passed my mod 1 today. Mod 2 tomorrow... this is seriously helpful for someone like me that hasn't used a school to train. Thank you.
Hey, Joseph. Glad you're finding the video helpful. Congrats on the Mod 1 pass. All the best for tomorrow. 🤜🤛
Great videos, I am doing my MOD2 in Stirling, so these are really helpful.
So my mod 2 retest is tomorrow. Failed my first time round in November (nerves mainly right at the start... 1 major... no minors gutted)
Way more relaxed this time but always helps to revise abit, great video man 👌🏻
That's hardlines about your first test. Glad your feeling more relaxed this time. Appreciate the comment and all the best for test day. 👍
@@MotoEcosse I PASSED! thanks for the videos again really settled me and got throughbwith a couple minors 😁😁😁
@@tzartrex mate that's fantastic. Congratulations. Great feeling huh?
Thank you for uploading. I’m off to my local B&Q car park 😁

Cheers, Ian. Glad you're finding them helpful. All the best for test day. 🤜🤛

@@MotoEcosse I have now passed and ad Yr video helped 😁
@@minimad8793 Fantastic! Congratulations. 🤜🤛
Passed my mod 2 yesterday!! Your videos were a great help... thanks 👍
That's awesome, Ferris. Congratulations mate. 🤜🤛
This was great I’m just starting out for my license. Just a little concerned about the gears I’ve ridden a 500 AUTO. But I’m now got to get myself used to using gears. I must confess I am extremely apprehensive about the gears, but the manoeuvres of the bike should be okay if I remember these Lifesavers.
Top top video I will be watching this a few times. Didn’t realise you had three lanes in a lane as such so so helpful. Thank you very much.
Hey, Steve. The gears can be a little daunting at first, but once you are used to using the clutch, they're really straightforward to use. 🤜🤛
Hi I’m following you now mate. This will be a long journey I feel from start to fin ? Can’t wait to hit the road
@@steveh9193 once you get to the finish though, Steve. It's so worth it mate.
@@MotoEcosse anything you have on mod 1 as well would be great. I’ve been mad busy you probably have something up already. I’ll look
@@steveh9193 yeah mate, it should be in the mod 1 playlist. If there's anything you're unsure of, let me know. 🤜🤛
Really great stuff. The most useful videos I've seen. Perhaps a fellow Scottish accent is the best way. On my yammy ybr 125 right now, awaiting mod1 test.
Appreciate that man. I also had the ybr 125. Great wee bike. All the best for your mod 1. Are you all set for it?
@@MotoEcosse mod 2 next week...
@@daviddallas3279 All the best for it man. 🤜🤛
Great tips my fellow Scotsman!!
Had my CBT for 6 months and had a 125 for practice before bigger test soon,
youv given me many good tips, and from somone i can understand 😅
🤣🤣. Appreciate that man. Have you got a date booked for your test?
@@MotoEcosse not yet, lockdown messed me up for startimg a few lessons at the beggining of the year but hopefully have it sorted in the next couple of months
Practice on my 125 has gave me much more needed confidence now amd cant wait to do it and get on the bigger bike already waitimg for me 😁😅
just going though all this, helping a lot, giving me loads of new info, thank wee man..
Got my mod 2 next Friday, lots of info in your vids to take in, great video and thanks
Got my mod 2 tomorrow thanks for all these great videos
Cant wait to get my Mod 2 booked! Best thing I learned from my instructor is to plan well ahead. Thanks for the great information from this vid!
Absolutely. Planning is always a great idea for test day. Knowing what's expected and having it practiced and under your belt means you can concentrate on each task and not let the nerves take over. 🤜🤛
Thanks so much m8 ,this is such a help honestly , theres so much to take on board as a beginner it can be overwhelming aswell as trying to ride the bike well. I have my mod 2 in 2 weeks.
All the best for your mod 2 bud. 🤜🤛
@@MotoEcosse cheers m8 im almost there , hopefully all goes well on the day.
Kevin bridges on a bike :) brilliant mate very informative .

You deserve a lot more subscribers! You channels great 👍 me plus a few pals have got our tests coming up and we’ve been looking for vids, stumbled across yours and it feels like a weights been lifted! Cheers mate
I appreciate that, Alan. I'm glad you and and your mates are feeling better about the mod 2. All the best for you and your mates for test day. 🤜🤛
Thank you sir I feel relaxed and stress free now for my test
Mate I’m loving these videos before my mod2. Thanks
Great to hear, Dan. All the best for your test. 🤜🤛
Took me a while before finding someone that explains in my terms- well done - nice vid and thanks !
🤜🤛
Another awesome vid mate, brilliant detail. Got my tests in a couple weeks and this definitely helps with the nerves.
Glad you found it helpful, Doric. All the best for test day. 🤜🤛
thanks very well explained i've got my mod 1 this friday
Thanks for this video. Very helpful refresher after passing mod2 a few months ago. Very good point about giving yourself enough time to do the observation and make a decision based on the information before committing to a manoeuvre.
Yeah observations are key in my opinion. Having good observations can make all the difference, especially if for any reason you have to react to hazards. 🤜🤛
MOD2 tomorrow bro. Thanks for this, all very useful
Amazing mate, that's quashed a few of my crazy theory's in my head, I'm looking at getting my bike licence soon 😉👌
Great to hear mate. It's definitely worth it. 🤜🤛
great video just about to take my mod2 massive help!!!! very well explained.
when asked how to check chain worth throwing in the word lubrication and also when testing the brakes just roll the bike backwards after applying, to make sure not sticking.
bob on vid. nicely paced. got my mod 2 friday. i find the bigger heavier bike than i normally ride gives me a bit more confidence. just hoping for a clean ride!
Cheers, Nobby. All the best for next week. 🤜🤛
Mate. I have passed my CBT and have my 125 to practice on.
Passed my theory and have MOD1 booked. I'm looking everywhere for tips and tricks and have destroyed RUclips. Gotta say your videos are top, I dont watch anything else now. Thanks for everything your a legend. Maybe its cause we speak the lingo 🤪. Even following you on Twitter #stalkingbasa.cheers mate ✊
Ah I appreciate that bud. Good job getting the cbt and theory out the way. Half way there man. Appreciate the follow on twitter as well. Ride safe man. 🤜🤛
i passed last friday, like i watched your videos, would like to say thank you for the heads up
That's awesome to hear. Congratulations 👏 Glad the videos helped. 🤜🤛
Hey bud cheers for the videos watched all your mod 1s and mod 2 just to put my mind at peace when I went for my mod1 and 2 and passed today mod2 so cheers for the informative videos 😎🏍️🙏👊
That's great to hear. Congratulations mate 🤜🤛
@@MotoEcosse cheers my dude been out on the old srad gsxr yesterday was alot of fun so thank you again my dude
Thank you! Excellent calm clear explanation. Top Man!! Keep up great work.👍
Appreciate that. 🙂
Position 2 = nails and screws in your tyres weekly 😂
Thank you, got my test coming and I’ve found your videos very informative.😀👍🏍
Thanks, Mark. Appreciate that man. Al the best for test day. 🤜🤛
i ride my bike every day and i do lifesavers a lot, when i need to check for traffic over my shoulder - but i feel like instructors and test people want it too much, and sometimes in weird places where i want to look for cars in other places and they tell me to look somewhere else. there are no cyclists, we just rode up this road bro 😂
i like what ur saying, this is all stuff im doing right
Currently working towards my mods and this has been really helpful 🙂
Appreciate that, Melanie. All the best for mod 1 and 2. 🤜🤛
Great video, informative and well presented. Thank you
Hi mate thanks for the videos, they helped me so much offered some really solid advice!
Fantastic video! Got my mod 2 in a few days this will really help ! Fingers crossed🤞🏼🤞🏼

Thanks,I will remember this for my test on Tuesday,will let you know how I get on.
Thanks man. All the best for Tuesday. 👍🏍
@@MotoEcosse woo ha!
Nailed it , thanks again for the video it made all the difference,
Once Wales is out of lockdown I will be heading North to enjoy the sublime roads of Scotland 🏴✌️
That's fantastic man, congratulations. Great feeling huh? Some of the roads up here are amazing. We're planning on doing the NC 500 this year. Congrats once again man. Ride safe 🏍
@@MotoEcosse enjoy your tip man ,I did that route 2 years ago in a van that’s why I had to get the bike licence 😎
Great videos mate, really well explained. At first you seemed to be a bit repetitive but I quickly realised that's exactly what's needed to drill it in. I've been riding around on my 125 thinking about stuff you've said. Passed Mod1 first time but failed Mod2 sadly, just a stupid mistake incorrectly indicating on a 5+ junction roundabout (maybe a video including one would be good). I've been riding too much like a car driver! Just waiting for a new test date but feeling more confident after watching your videos.
Yeah when started riding I would also ride about as if I was in my car. I quickly realised just how different it is and you're absolutely spot on, that repetition is key when practicing, so much so that eventually it all becomes 2nd nature. That's hardlines about your first MOD 2. There are a few roundabout videos in the MOD 2 playlist. They cover the basic principles of your standard 4 exit roundabout, and they do cover when you should and shouldn't signal. Hopefully you'll find them useful. All the best for the next MOD 2. I'm sure you'll smash it. 🤜🤛
Loving this series. My much delayed das training is meant to be starting in december, I've watched loads of videos but yours have some great tips and info other do not....keep up the stella work !
Appreciate that man 👍. Best of luck when training starts again.
@@MotoEcosse Cheers 👍
Brilliant explanation mate, just having my Mod 2 very soon, and it does help me a lot!
Ride safe :)
Appreciate that, George. All the best for your mod 2. 🤜🤛
Thank you for the tips! Test tomorrow 🤞🏻
All the best for it, John. 🤜🤛

Hopefully it went well. 🤜🤛

All the best for it, Nathan. 🤜🤛
Thanks for your tip it really help me before I start my practice
Your welcome, Twana. 🤜🤛
This is so helpful, clear and simple explanations!
I've just passed my theory and will be booking my course in a couple of weeks! :O
Appreciate the comment. Congrats on nailing the theory. Getting that out the way is always a big weight off the shoulders. Roll on Mod 1 and 2. Best of luck with it.
Great video with all your info well executed , i've definitely learned something today. thank you for sharing👍
amazing video, love your accent
Doing my training just now
Great video thanks 😊
Another point connected to observation is -- speed. Don't go over the speed limit so that you've got time to do the observations needed. Road positioning starts at 8:52. What bike are you riding in this vid Écosse?
Yeah, you're absolutely right. You shouldn't really be going over the speed limit anyway. Especially on lessons or Mod 2
Riding a Suzuki sv650s with renthal handlebar conversion. 👍
@@MotoEcosse I thought it looked familiar. I've got a Bandit 650sa. Great Scottish accent you have there, makes the video nicer to watch/listen to. Cheers!
Ah nice, how is yours to ride? I trained on the bandit 600. Appreciate that bud. 🙂
@@MotoEcosse Yeah, mine goes well. Lovely bikes to ride in my opinion. Great first bikes for new license holders.
Brilliant video
Thanks for the video... I found it really informative and easy to digest...
You're welcome, appreciate it.
brilliant videos can't wait for my mod one now and then can book mod 2:)
Cheers, William. All the best for the Mods mate. 🤜🤛
Thank you very much for information
Fantastic video, really clear and concise. Really helped me see the things I’m doing right… I liked how you pointed out your own (minor) mistakes….... my issue is simply clutch control and the hitting pitting point especially when on a hill or at a tight angle……... I’m ok going forward and generally to the left but I’m really not confident going right!!!! Any help anyone??
I was the same when I was learning. Right turns just felt awkward. Where you look is massive help, I know seems simple but sometimes just looking in the wrong place can mess with you. Also learning to do the U-turn correctly made a huge difference, recently done a video on the U-turn you might find helpful. Going to right corners you're familiar with, preferably when quiet, and just going over it and over it, then try going out on the road and you'll start to notice you're right turns will naturally start to develop more. 🤜🤛
