Cbt

[Morris]

Woop just booked my CBT today, its in 3 weeks time and I cant wait. Finally getting this ball rolling. Because of lack of funds ill be looking at getting a nice little, old cheap motor lol. But I don't mind as long as im riding! thats all that matters to me.

[becky]

Nice one. Good luck with the CBT :grin2

[STEALTH52]

Good on ya matey, Go for it, Good luck

[Morris]

:D Thanks guys, I reckon ill pass it nice and easy. Something just comes naturally to me with bikes.

[SDM]

Good Luck, have fun...............but you won't fail because it ain't a test, they only give you the certificate when they think you can ride a bike competently

[MICKTLS]

exactly what SDM has said its on overall assesment of your ability to ride safely unsupervised and the ability to use the systems that are taught to help you out on the road

If the instructor believes you can make it home on a bike without ending up in hospital or the morgue then a certificate is issued. Well that's how I used to do it anyway.:grin2

Man im getting so excited its sad!!When you do your 2 hours on the road they may get you to do a u-turn. They'll make you do it twice so you'll be facing the same way as the instructor again. This is a cunning instructor trick so they don't have to do a u-turn as well, just in case they wobble or cock it up altogether.

Heeey Today was the day of my CBT and what a day it has been. I wont bore you with all the details... the practice riding was nice and straight forward, took me a while to get used to pulling away but after a ton of tries I was getting it nicely... did I apply this on the road!? oh no... I stopped at the lights shifted to the necessary gear started to pull away got carried away and let go of the clutch too fast.. stalled haha. did this a few times till I got it and rushed off ahead.

The day was super hot... but a really nice day to be riding we went through Canvey then over to Benfleet for a little ride around there and I loved it.. after a bad start to the ride and some very scary moments for me I started to get it all under wraps. We separated into 2 riders and one instructor and I was behind them in the traffic... so I had a nice ride to myself just following the traffic.

Instructors were great blokes my one helped me out loads. I think I did really well and picked things up fast, at the end he said I was leaning like a goodun and looked like I was trying to get my knee down haha but im certain I wasn't! just a comfortable way to ride.

Thanks for reading.
