[Liokaiser]

Right, im hoping to pass my CBT Thursday, so on the day i want you lot to keep your fingers and toes crossed for me!

Im booked on a CG 125, this time should be a breeze! Any tips are welcome!

[Lateshift]

What do you mean "pass your CBT"??

Its not quite an attendance course but its by no means anything to worry about :)

I am sure you will be fine :)

[STEALTH52]

Thats what i thought, not really a test so to speak just a general control & use your head type of thing....good luck anyway!

[Gixxer-TeZ]

A thorn in my side right now! I know its an assesment, but i still have to pass it so to speak!

[v8-powered]

I thought you only had to ride round the block to get a bike licence?

[slydog]

[NinjaMad]

I thought you only had to ride round the block to get a bike licence?


Nah mate round a playground then the block :laugh1

[sniffer dagenham]

Come on mate. its not that hard really. it took me two times. first time i was ****ting a brick. just relax and pay full attention to what your doing.

we are all behindyou on this. have to get this done for that full liecence later in the year.

[Liokaiser]

Heh, first time i was fine on the bike, took to it quite quick. The 2nd time i went on the road, and couldnt put 2 and 2 together.....doing 40 downa 30 road probably didnt help lol ).

Me thinks ill be fine this time. Ive gained much more knowledge about bikes from various people on here, and specially Danjaman, so i shouldnt have any probs this time.

[TALLTONE]

I remember my grandad telling me that.
Good luck with your CBT fella as someone else said just listen and concentrate. youll ssip it.

[SradChris46]

how people end up failing a cbt is beyond me

[slydog]

well i suppose if your nervous i mean there are people that do it that cant ride at all . i mean to learn from scratch gears clutch the whole lot for a youngster must be a lot to take in .

[benjyman]

how people end up failing a cbt is beyond me

on a twist and go i agree but i did mine on thursday and as a car driver i found it more challenging than i thought it would be. forgot to cancel my indicators a few times which could have been thought to be dangerous i suppose. if someone without a car license tried on a geared bike i could understand it taking 2 days.

on a different note SradChris46, you didn't ride down Goldcrest Dr. off Greens Farm Lane today did you?

[bayonet]

You don't really fail a CBT. A pass certificate is based on the instructor's opinion of whether you'd be safe to ride off home on your own and arrive in one piece.

I've been riding since you could start out on a 250cc bike with no training whatsoever, just left to your own devices, CBT is definitely a better idea than that. I can remember either stalling or wheelying with no real control when trying to pull away. 5 minutes on a CBT would've sorted that out.

My personal opinion is that car drivers should do a CBT as well. I think new car drivers should learn the basics of pulling away and gear changing away from the public highway, so that when they finally get onto it they can concentrate all their energies on reading the road etc. It's fairer on the learner driver and the people already on the road too.

[SradChris46]

on a different note SradChris46, you didn't ride down Goldcrest Dr. off Greens Farm Lane today did you?
it is possible, i was out and about today

why do you say that?

Recognise the bike? should do really lol its the only loud srad in billers

[benjyman]

Yeah heard it then looked out the window, remembered because don't get many riders in full leathers down my road and billers in general, and the lack of rear seat (what is that thing called that you put on the rear seat?)

haha my mate lives down there, used to have an rs125 but now has a sv650. We've been making all the noise recently with his new exhaust system lol

Seat hump or solo seat that things called lol

YOu live near those minis? theres a house that has like 2 of them?

[DoGbOt]

should do really lol its the only loud srad in billers

Lmao! i hope you can back up those claims....... Aren't interested in a full S/S micron race system are ya? it'd deffo be louder & I'm considering selling it........ It's the BETA system all held together with spring clip fittings & has slip on can...Its that loud i'm tempted not to put on my 750 track bike but its for both models 600 & 750?.... pm if your interested..

[Liokaiser]

well i suppose if your nervous i mean there are people that do it that cant ride at all . i mean to learn from scratch gears clutch the whole lot for a youngster must be a lot to take in .

Well, im not really a youngster, but you were right...the gears got me, the first time riding a bike on me own was quite daunting. I was thinking it would be easy peasy, but when you find out about things you have never hheard of, and then have to time the clutch and throttle etc etc, things get kinda confusing....for me anyways!

Anyhow, im confident enough now, so i cannot wait for thursday! I just hope the weather holds up!

[slydog]

youll be fine m8

[SradChris46]

[S Boy]

Best of luck mate, have fun !!!!

[madbadnblond]

Bit late but I was thinking of ya .....honest


So how did it go?

[Liokaiser]

I bodged it.

[NinjaMad]

well done fella ah!!!!

[sniffer dagenham]

I bodged it.

yOU MEAN YOU ****ED UP????????????????

[Bones2007]

Where is it going wrong?

What are you doing to mess up the CBT 3 times?

[stu600cc]

I think he means bodged it as in he got it done

Thats what im thinking?

[Liokaiser]

Nope, i messed up. I stopped in a 'keep clear'.....not so bad, and i confused a mini round about with a big one.

I did better than last time! :jumping2

In all seriousness, i let myself down. I think i went in to the CBT ( look im not saying test! ) a bit over confident. My own fault. I guess i was a bit nervous too of other vehicles after a ped user shunted me in the test ground, poor sod.

Im going back in 2 weeks, and im bloody getting this thing done.

Thaks for the support guys and girls.

[slydog]

oh m8 come on lets see it happen . are u really that nervous .

[Liokaiser]

Dunno what it is, its bugging the hell out of me though.

[fall off]

your'll get there in the end mate try not let it get to you , rome wasn't built in a day .

[The Guvnor]

i confused a mini round about with a big one.

.

What you do take it wide and ride on the pavement !!!:grin2

Mate, it might not be a test but it still needs to be passed, some peeps find it hard to deal with the pressure of being observed, but it will come soon and you will look back and wonder why you were bothered at all.

WHEN you pass the next time it will be a distant memory !

Dont let it get to you, and if you need help just ask :rockon

[STEALTH52]

Where you doing your CBT??? You must have one fussy instructor....

You'll get there...

[Liokaiser]

Cheers Guv. I think what may be an issue that i have, and ive only just thought about it because you mentioned being observed, is that im too used to teaching people things myself, not the other way around....if that makes sense.

Im alright now, kicked myself a bit when i got home, but hey, theres always next time!

[Liokaiser]

Where you doing your CBT??? You must have one fussy instructor....

You'll get there...

Im at Academy. To be honest, and i mean no disrespect to anyone, but it doesnt matter how fussy or strict the instructor is in my opinion....if your not safe on the road, then they will not pass you, which im glad, as the last thing i want is to injure omeone whilst riding. My two cock ups cost me, but its something i have learned for the future.

[madbadnblond]

Blimey thought you'd do it.


Sorry mate!:(
Next time

[NinjaMad]

sorry tohear it m8 thought ya cracked it

[Liokaiser]

Nope, fraid not. Ive re-booked for the 16th, so will see what happens then.

In the mean time i have a bike to practice on, and a few places i know i can ride about on without getting into trouble.
