CBT done! :-)

[Mikado]

Just got home from my first ever experience on a geared bike! What an eye opener - cars really do not look! I was on a lovely little bike, a Yamaha Sr125

Got theory on Tuesday and then booking in for mod 1 training - so exciting!

Crikey, that thing must be round the clocks. And yes, cars don't see us. Ride well out in your lane and be ready to take evasive action, you'll soon get used to it.

And good job on getting on with it, 'tis definitely the season.

Well done, was certainly an eye opener for me recently too.

19,579 miles to be exact. Well, according to the M.O.T that was put through and passed on the second attempt just two days ago after failing for "Front position lamp does not illuminate immediately when switched on (1.1.3a)". Apart from failing on that exact same thing once the only other in its history are three advisories for;

"Wheel corroded but not significantly reducing the original strength (4.2.1a)
frame and rear swing are rusty
rear wheel has corroshion ay berring housinh"

..seems like the training school know how to look after a bike well. One of the better examples on paper I'd say, although can't say the example I came across was as good, or maybe that was the rider, or both.. yes both.

Smart choice ignoring the tiddler route and trapping yourself in a financial never-ending pitfall and going straight for a license. Keep updated.

dude congratulations! CBT is good learning experience and hopefully you'll pass your theory first time and get on with learning the big bike stuff. I've just passed my mod 2 test and loving every second being on a bigger bike.
good luck!

That’s really nice Mikado. You might have learned a whole lot of things.

Having just passed my test, I am kind of envious. I really enjoyed the lessons! Riding around on a bike outside of my budget (Suzuki 650cc Gladius,) having someone to guide me. The security was nice. Now I've done it all and haven't yet got my big bike, I'm a bit jealous. Stupid, I know, but enjoy it. The lessons were always a huge amount of fun for me.

NSL = National Speed Limit... A notional figure on the speedo where you should, maybe, roll off the throttle a bit.

Well done! I was amazed at how vulnerable you feel when you first get on the roads. Good luck for the future, ride safe.

Congrats to the OP

I used to have a battered old SR125. I loved it. Shame it had to die in the end. Proper old workhorse, though.
