Hi there!
First of all, hello! My name's Ash. Im 17, and a bit of an ICT nerd. I sent off for my provisional yesterday, and when it arrives im going to book my CBT.
I have rode a 125 before, bt that was at a moto cross event, which my local youth centre organised. The 125's had gears, but some weird gearbox, which allowed me to change gear, by releasing the throttle, and changing as normal, but without the use of the clutch.
I am kind of nervous for what will come up in my CBT. I have heard different things from various other people.
Is there any advice you motorbike masters can give me, in order to make me feel more confident when taking the CBT. Just little tips, for things such as the slalom, or the figure of 8, because i think that'll get me o.O
Thanks in advance!

Listen to what the instructor tells you.. Don't flap when you don't get the hang of it straight away.... Enjoy yourself..
It's not that hard, there's people on here who couldn't find their arse with both hands that can still ride a bike...  ____________________ "I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me." Hunter S Thompson
