hey! this is about the best mod 2 video i have ever seen! it puts you right in the heat of the test!,the camera is in the perfect position also allowing us to see the examiner in the mirrors,i passed my mod 2 about 2 and a half years ago and watching this puts me right back there! thanks for the great video,congrats!

You know what's really great, I watched this vid about 10 times, rode the route about 3 times. On mod2 day, we drive towards the exit and he goes 'turn right..' Ended up going through Port wood, up new Zealand road, turncroft lane, Marple road, up otterspool, back through bredbury green, back to center. Still passed though on a cg125 so would like to say cheers again!😂

Well done! And thanks for another useful video for us on L plates!

What a soothing voice. Well done.

Thanks to this video of the test route, I passed my mod 2 today. It gave me a great insight into the test route. Thanks!

nice video RAR keep up with the good work

Great video, smooth commentary, going to take A1 this summer

Well done and a great video showing what it's actually like on the test, I've got my first scooter (like you a brand new rider) but having to wait till later this month for CBT, there was over 2 month waiting list ! Can't wait to get out, your videos are very inspirational, keep them coming :-)

Well done and thanks for the video. I have mine next week and feeling the nerves already but this has helped

For someone who's only just passed and without any training, this is an excellent and informative video😉

Actualy watching you do that test has set me at ease.

Brilliant video Thankyou for all your input Helped a great deal 💯

Thanks for uploading. Very handy.

This helped me massively to see the full uncensored version of the actual test no mock ups so thanks.was nice to see Manchester again on a nice sunny day too i haven't been in ages. Subscribed 😁

Brilliant vid mate 👌👌

Got my mod2 at bredbury centre tomorrow. This is really helpfull. Thank you

Hey , a massive thank you. I passed my A1 MOD2 :-). Thank you for your Vids

I was biting my nails and my heart rate increased just watching your drive to the driving centre!

Brilliant,very informative and helpful. Thanks

Congrats!!!! I've got my DAS over the next couple of weeks and cannot wait to be rid of the L's after 3yrs 😊😊 Thanks for the video, I might be on the same or similar routes because I'm local to their so will be good to memorize the route 👍

Did my mod 1 yday and I'm going to do mod 2 next week. Thanks for the vid mate

Great video I look forward to seeing more. I passed my test 40 years ago and I love to see motorcycle safety being promoted. Congratulations on passing your test 👍

Well done and congratulations mate 👍🛵🇬🇧

Hi! Passed my mod 2 test today, using the same route. Thanks a lot for the video.

Well done great job !

Well done. Did mine.on lml star few years back. Great feeling !

25:52 I thought I got a notification on my phone you got me good! Excellent riding and its great to see a full mod 2 test online.

CONGRATS MUST HAVE BEEN A GOOD FEELING

Well done bud.. Got my Mod 2 coming up in September..

Great videos I've noticed that no one dose the 125 motorcycle test but all the information is spot on so keep up with the good work 👍☺️

Well done pleased for you mate ....ride safe 👍

Great video with honest comments. Just about to take mine on July 9th. Thank you

Thanks for this! Got my MOD 2 coming up in 2 weeks. Hopefully my nerves won't get the better of me.

Congrats ,well done

Well done fella.... Frome what I saw you road very well... especially when you had a few numpties to contend with on the roads like the guy with whatever it was he was carrying on his shoulder on his bike lol... can't wait to get the L plates off mine ...

that little suspense bit where they read out all your faults before they tell you you have passed effected me so deeply, for two days i actually felt like i’d failed. almost ruined the feeling. ha ha. great video. cheers

Good on you buddy, Whenever I am sat in traffic and I hear and then see a bike riding past I say "That's the way to travel."

Hi matey 👍 well done for passing your motorcycle test and be safe and keep looking left and right when coming up to side roads just incase there is a car or whatever speeds out in front of you. And try and stay out of the green cycle box and bus lanes there is time were your not to ride in them because they are for the buses only. But take good care of yourself and stay safe etc etc 👍👍👍👍 thanks from mark and i enjoyed watching you on your motorcycle exam test and you passed 👍👍👍

Very helpful thank you 👍

Congratulations ! Guy on bike with 10’ pole is a dangerous legend !!!!

Great video thanks for sharing 👍.

23.52 looks like the wide left turn. This is a great video, super useful!

Well done!

Got my mod 2 in a couple hours, thanks for the upload!

Brilliant vid and congrats for passing I’ll be going there in two days to do same 👍

Loving the bike nice with the blue & white beautiful machine.

Good video - thanks. Think your "left hand turn" issue was the merge point that the car undertook you on the way back and definitely keep out of the cycle box!!

loved the video well presented congrats on the pass got my mod 2 aug 3rd

guy on the bike - LEGEND hahaha !!! Thank you for your video!

Thank you sir I so nervous about doing my CBT even though I have rode small bikes before

Congratulations! Great content, thanks for sharing 👍 That first kerb stop at 8:30, I’m surprised no one has mentioned you pulled in opposite a junction - I would have thought you might have received a minor for that? But hey, what do I know, my M2 training and test isn’t until next week, I’ll keep my gob shut until after I’ve passed! Happy days!

It's a far cry from when I passed mine in 1982 under the ancient system, where the examiner stood at the kerb and observed you riding past, sticking his clipboard up in the air to test your emergency stop.. 🤪

Nice video. I did the same DIY test as you (Honda Forza 125) with 2 minors. Had my first "Can you pull up on the left when safe" as soon as I left the test centre, followed by "So you can remove your keys from the top box". Bloody keyless systems. Also, nice examineer, said over the radio as I was pulling in at the end of the test at the center "congratulations, you have passed" no waiting at all.

Great video thanks. Re your cycle box question, it is clear cut - motor vehicles including motorbikes must stop at the first stop line and not enter the box. The occasions when you are permitted to be in the box will be very few and far between and only in the circumstances you said i.e. where you are already over the first line when the lights change - this will be rare. Thanks for the vid - really helpful.

well done mate

been putting off my practical test for almost two years now. have until September 2022 to get it booked before the theory runs out. too nervous. even watching this vid has me feeling physically ill. hah but otherwise, this is a very informative video. Thanks, man- calmed my nerves a little👍

I am glad I did my test in the olden days when after passing g the test on a 125 you could ride anything

Congratulations chap! Nice one! After doing my back to work assessment in my lorry yesterday l can empathise with the constant self analysis and nerves! Best place for ‘ L’ plates is in the bin lol 👍

Great video where two lanes one goes off to motorway I was always told stay in left hand lane unless stated otherwise but this is great video for mod 2

I'm doing my A1 on my lexmoto Milano. I've completed my MOD 1, just waiting to do the MOD 2 at the end of September. Looking at changing my scooter for a GT 125CC. I've been watching your KZfaq videos and really like the look of the royalloy scooter.

This is such a helpful video; I passed my Mod 2 in August 2020 but I love watching other people's experiences 👍

Congratulations, wow, so brave not to have training for your test. Contemplating doing the A1 on my 125 cc scooter, you weren’t a bit stressed. Well done.

I do sympathise with you riding comfortably below the speed limit. And tbh with the RA speedo in kph I'd find it difficult to stick to a constant 30mph etc in built up areas. One to work on for my own attempt at A1 soon.. cheers again, great vids!

Very good interesting video I did my test there back in the 80s then the road part in reddish they did not even ride after you back then we'll done on passing

Crackin video m8 im 32 hopefully the last time but i done my cbt last august got myself a lexmoto michigan 125cc great bike will have for another couple of years trying to save up for my direct access for when my cbt runs out then trade in against a bigger bike cool scooter by the way i used to scoot about on a 50cc sym and my m8 had a union jack vespa had a few shots had to pressure him into it mind u miss the scooter days 30 mph just rollin

Fantastic!! Well done for showing us anxious pre testers what it's like! Question :When you pull in and there's a pavement, is it OK to put left foot on kerb?

Good for you mate , ye get rid of them plates, stay safe 👍👏✊

Nerve wracking to watch. “Make good progress” was my instructors advice i.e. ride to the speed limit. I lost a point for not overtaking a car with a trailer on a hill, thought it would be a bit boy racer on my test! Examiner asked me what action I could have taken “ I could have overtaken” - “no should have overtaken” he said! Shoulder checks a must and watch out for the dithering pedestrian at a zebra crossing that will f**k up your test. Personally I wouldn’t go into the green cyclist box. Great ride and well done for the the pass.

Congrats mate well done. With regards to the green box. It’s called an ASL (Advanced stop line) and it’s specifically for cyclists. It’s purpose is to allow cyclists to sit at the front of traffic so that they can be seen. (Well that’s the theory anyway). Crossing either of the lines in a motorised vehicle on a red light actually carries a fine for both lines. Other than that, looked like a top ride pal. 👍

Passed my mod 1 on Tuesday and booked this for TODAY, your video has helped me calm down a lot about it so thank you 🙏

Mod 1 done, onto Mod 2 at the end of this month. Watching this vid again to get some tips

Hi great video I am on the same route next week and your video was excellent as I don’t know the area I thing where you went wide was as you went around and turned left just after the one way street

5:22 - you're fully in his blind spot in the red car, he'd never see you if he changed his mind and turned left without signal. The guy on the bicycle with a pole!! Mad hahah. As for green cycle boxes - they are for bicycles only, we shouldn't stop unless absolutely necessary, and should not filter into them. If you think your scooters throttle is sensitive, you'd be shocked about big bikes (750 plus) hah - blip it and you're doing 50. Throttle control is a learnt skill holding speed. And yes, you should indicate at the last turn in. Well done though! Enjoy and keep learning.

Thanks for taking us on the ride... Can I ask though, how come you did A1 and not DAS?

Bizarre... I am literally going tomorrow for my mod2 at the same place. What a cool video to find.

You got a massive lucky break from your examiner. The last traffic lights before the test centre when you were behind the learner you stopped again in the cycle part and then followed the learner car through a red light.

Well done mate i failed my first test for leaving the indicator on too long was gutted because i was in two minds weather i had to indicate turns out i didnt which made it worse and not used to them riding my lammies.

Ah sorry just got to the end of it. Well done for passing nice scooter

This is pure gold! Luckily I grew up round here and know it well. Brilliant! 👍😎Subbed, ps im sure they pay the lunatics to come out when you're on your test!

Sweet, really enjoyed that, and great work on passing :-)

I am 84 with, A. licence. I wear all brown leathers from head to toe. just love the colour. Passed test in 1954 on 750cc Royal Enfield. UK.

Did my mod1 there only recently,mod 2 test coming up.

I reckon the left handed turn is the one at 18:45, just before you said you were looking for it. I think you should be a bit nearer the kerb as it's a blind corner and the traffic coming down the hill could cut their corner off, which would place them over the line and extremely close to you. That's my thinking, anyway. Great video.

Just watched your video and apologies for being late to the party but one question I have always had, is why anyone would go for the A1 licence and not the straight 'A' licence as it restricts you to the size of bike you can ride? I appreciate you say you had only been riding for 3 months and self taught up to this point. I also understand that for the A licence you do have to take the test on a bigger machine - so have to hire one from a training school and of course, it helps if you have a lesson or two on that machine so you get used to and comfortable with it. Again, costs a bit more but if you were taking a car test you would probably take 10 lessons or more first, so to me it makes sense to factor that in. Final question, after passing your test a year ago, are you still riding the same size bike or did you hanker for something a little bigger/sportier? And if so, did you take the full A licence yet?

Very helpful video, thanks a lot!!! I have 2 questions if you don't mind. What is the helmet camera and would you recommend it? And also why did you even bother with A1 and just didn't go for DAS and get a proper license. Thanks again :)

I did an A1, many don't bother. Recently went from A1 to A2. I did this because I didn't want to have to do the theory test again. The bike i want needs to be economical and not too tall, so 500 cc seems about right for me. Since 2016 ive riden over 80,000 miles on my A1 license. I had two faults, one was for being around 2 mph over the limit, but he said he prefered that, than being under.

Congrats on dropping off the L plates, thanks for posting.

good video,you dont mention anything about indicating ,when pulling out from stoppod position?

Very nice ride. Well done. Can't for the life of me work out where the lefthand turn was where you picked up a minor. I'm surprised that stopping in that cycle box at the lights didn't get you a fail, to be honest. I thought that was considered pretty serious. Also, the right turn at the end when you lost him looked a little dicey from a test point of view. That's exactly how you should drive normally but you're basically turning on red (or, at least, that's what it looks like in the video), which I would have thought would spell trouble in a test. That said, I'm not an experienced motorcyclist so maybe I'm wrong, but I definitely would have waited behind the cycle box (and therefore would have had to wait. Anyone know what the correct procedure is here, please?

I got a major for stopping in a cyclist box in the same situation as you ,he stated I was not anticipating the light change , gave me a major for not going round a roundabout at 30MPH I proceeded at 15MPH. Gave me a major for missing a turn on the independent ride and a major for going too slow in a 30mph zone which I thought was a twenty .

Hi. Thanks for this video. Very clean ride, well done. Is there a huge difference between A1 & A2 license? As me & my partner want to do our A2 license because we're getting the Royal Alloy gp 300 s scooters over this next year & we'll need A2 license to be able to ride them. Cheers.

So whats different with the next test then to ride bigger? I was gonna buy a 125 and do my test, then i thought maybe just borrow one, do test and get a Royal Alloy 300 which is what i want? Enjoyed the video cheers....

Just watched your video today and firstly you did a great job the video was very well done but I will point out how lucky you were committing a major fault and passing. I want to bring to your attention your final right turn at 39 mins. You were waiting at the second white line within the cyclist zone with the learner driver ahead that was waiting in the yellow box look at the lights change to red while you were still stationary. You went through a red light. Pause it at 39:08 I can see your instructor in your mirror i have no idea what he was looking at.

Nice video, very helpful.... what camera do you use?

You went through a red light right at the end mate 😬 ya lucky he didn’t have you for that one in my opinion

Great video...silly question did you do your cbt on a automatic or geared bike.many thanks

Passed my mod1 at Bredbury :D this week

if you get stuck in a cycle box just to leave room for cycles on the near side but try and keep out

Im from stockport and know exactly where that is! Never knew a test centre was there though! I now ownca yamaha mt125 and looking to do my a1 i now know where to go
