good luck [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
Fingers crossed for you Nicky :)
Right here is the update. I failed mod 1 today :(
BUT
I didnt fail on something bad. I didnt get any faults at all, and did both the speed tests at the right speed first time, but
the examiner said that I did not stop fast enough on the emergency stop.
Granted, I was so so happy that i was home free and that all the rest of the manouvers had gone right, that I know i must have let my guard down a bit and could have breaked harder.
Anyway, I had a bit of a cry and realised that everything happens for a reason. Mark has been brilliant!! Will be redoing the test next week some time I hope.
Hope is not yet lost.

Sorry to hear that Nicky you have been trying so hard, still now you know you can do it all so next week you should sail through.
Congrats for getting everything else so right - that is a real achievement. I know you'll be just fine next time. I will be thinking of you and wishing you well! [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
Never in biking can you let your guard down as that's when things can go wrong - but there is no better time to learn this than right at the very start - will hopefully hold you in good stead as a great rider! Which will be very soon! [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Mike and I were very disappointed for you. The build up to test had all been about pushing the bike around, and the slow manoeuvres. I have to say Nicky was brilliant during the practise. She actually did all the exercises perfectly first time! In fact, three times in a row! I know she'll get it next time. All she's got to do is squeeze the brake a little harder and the jobs done.
Look out for the dog poop! And keep practising the E-stops... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Dam Shame. Nail it next time [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
Hey Nicky well done for demonstrating good bike control, sorry to hear the e stop wasn't as quick as it should be. Do you get 2 goes at it like you would if you were too slow through the speed trap?
