CBR650F Mod2 in 2 weeks...

[doozer]

Hi all, male 54, only just decided this year to finally do my bike test... should have done it years ago but would probably have died early 🙄
So, mod1 in the bag, no faults.. mod 2 in just over a week...
and I've bought the bike.... cbr650F - AH 2018, absolutely mint condition, full service history, akrapovic exhaust, oxford heated grips..
I cannot wait to get on and ride the absolute wheels off it... very carefully of course... still getting used to riding in general but havent managed to scare the instructors yet 🤣
Been trying to drive the van like I ride a bike, not ride a bike like I drive the van...
Any and all tips welcome..
Cheers. Chris 🥳

Welcome aboard! Best of luck with your Mod 2 — you’re nearly there now. My biggest bit of advice (for the test and for your early riding) is that safety is everything. Treat the bike as if it’s the width of a car and don’t put yourself into any gap you wouldn’t drive a car through.

If you do make a mistake, don’t let it rattle you. If it’s done safely, the examiner will usually let it slide. Turn the page, carry on, and show them you’re in control.

Get to the test rested, fed and hydrated, and honestly… a banana beforehand has never let me down. Little boost, no nerves on the stomach.

You’ve absolutely got this — hope to see you out on the road soon!

Oh, and as macRoadster says, Pics Please! ;-)
