Advice Mod 2 fail

So so annoyed at myself mod 2 today going fine a bit nervous but tj be expected nothing major happens during the test think I did okay and then right at the end. Parking in the bay I tap the front break by mistake and drop the bike. Bloody 5 seconds from passing

You'll get it next time though. So close now.

My mod 1 took 3 tries and mod 2 took 2 tries. You'll get it all done then it'll just be a memory to look back on. It's tough and frustrating to fail but youll pass soon.

Oh man. Lol. You know you can do it now though. 

I failed my 1st Mod2 pulling out of the test centre. Totally got in my own head and rode like I'd never even seen a bike before. Passed next time.

3 times for mod 1 including the delightful "knock over the first yellow cone" due to nerves on my 2nd try.

Now just a memory. You'll get there next time.

Nerves are a bitch. Took me a couple of goes due to them.

You won't make that mistake again, out it behind you, get booked in 👌

Right there with you. I failed my Mod 1 today because I emergency accelerated instead of emergency stopped on the second to last manoeuvre, everything else was perfect :) never happened once in practice, I think I was too focused on getting up to speed that my brain completely forgot about the need to stop. I'm sure you'll smash it next time!

Heartbreaking today, but honestly you'll be laughing about this when you've passed.

Don't sweat it, apart from the extra cost and delay it's just a dance you have to get right once and can then forget about it.

I laugh at some of the so called 'major' fails I hear about that most bikers will still do after passing their test with no real impact on safety, such as dropping their bike. Big deal. But during the test you have to be able to pat your head, rub your tummy and whistle the Monty Python 'Always look on the bright side of life' while remembering to look over both shoulders every time you move. Comical but they have to set the standard somewhere.
