Thanks! It must be a blanket thing across the whole DVSA, rather than a common sense thing why moto tests have been cancelled.
I’ll have refresher lesson(s) before the test to beat out the bad habits from months of riding 125 during lockdown.
Was quite glad for all the slippery green laning though; I was on the 125 in the rain earlier and tapped the rear brake on a bit of diesel I guess. Only about 35mph or so, but wet and potholed as hell bit of service road near the mechanics. Little bit too much brake pressure on the worst crack in the road. Bike absolutely crapped out underneath me as the back end fishtailed like crazy bouncing about. Sounded like the engine wanted to stall, but managed to keep it upright and get the revs back up as I smoothed everything out. Really felt like losing traction on glass, near identical feeling to the road tyres on wet trails.
Don’t fancy having that experience on the road ever again.

good luck for the Mod2, its mad that you cant do it now, not like you are in a tin can with someone else, you are totally independent!
Not hard to wipe down the headset between tests either.
If you are confident on the 125, do regular lifesavers and turn your indicators off, you'll be fine on the big bike test.
