Mod 1 pre test passed 3 times in a row - no over revs, just the 2k req'd. Just need to not fluff something tomorrow or forget an observation.

Cheers Gents I've done all the practice .... Just luck left.

75bhp on 210kg = fun. ABS is a hoot.

I'm never using the 125 again :-)

Use more than 2k revs!! I did exactly what you did and 2k wasn't enough. Those extra revs will come in handy because you'll have nerves and if the bike starts to drop, you release the clutch and boom - you trade revs for stability.

Wait until you try a sports bike. My Blade is putting out 182bhp and weighs 167kgs. The acceleration is insane.

Best of luck with the DAS.

Mod 1 passed with no minors ( 2k rpm) so that's one down and mod 2 to go!

100 pretty damp miles done after that ... One more full day out tomorrow and hopefully nice weather for Friday.

Just glad thats cones and stuff out of the way
