Hello all

Well went on me cbt course at roadriders in Audenshaw, Droylsden in Manchester today and passed Smile

I'm chuffed to bits Smile

I got tought by a guy called Alex really good ionstructor i recommend anyone from the Manchester area to go to these on you're das course or cbt Smile

So after all them years wanting a motorbike i can now finnally get one Razz

Now i need as much info as possible of everyone to recomend me what to get gear wise aswell as is it really worth getting an Aprilia rs 125cc as my 1st bike?
So as much help as possible to get me in the right direction would be great Smile

Thanks again all I'm chuffed to bits Smile

Well done on getting through the CBT. Smile

Really good fun day, first time i had been on a bike and it was really interesting. Can see it being a bit "meh" if u have been biking for a while or are just going after 2 years for a new cert

Bike depends what you want it for.

if it is just a stop gap till you get a bigger bike just get a cheap 125 to practise on
No point spending all your money on a 125, to sell it a few months later and lose half the value of it Smile

if you are going to use it for a long time maybe spend a bit more on one to get a newer / better one for reliability

Gear seems to be along the lines of the best you can afford
Helmet, gloves, jacket, trousers and boots

Bearing in mind warmth as well, waterproof trousers for rain and to stop wind too
Balaclava for under the helmet for warmth
winter gloves and summer gloves.hands freeze in winter in summer gloves, they boil in summer with winter gloves

You can do biking on a shoe string, or you can throw as much money as you like at it. Both ways can be just as safe. You probably dont want to be riding around like the red power ranger on a 125, but that is your choice of course. Smile
