Failed CBT TWICE! Opinions please?

[Untitled1995]

Honestly im not to sure what to make of all this right now.

First CBT - I was told that i could not go onto the road as a got to close to the wall a few times during the offroad yard training.

Second CBT - Today completed all the yard training perfectly. Was allowed out onto the road part of the training. Once on the road i got a little anxious and stalled the bike a few times at junctions. I was pretty anxious and for some reason this just impaired my clutch control. Within about 15 minutes of starting the road exercise we returned to the school and i was told to rebook a 3rd CBT as i needed more yard training.

Imo this really is a load of shit. Im perfectly fine on the yard and can complete all the training without problems. Clutch control is also excellent on the yard.

Im the sort of guy who feels uncomfortable for 10-20 minutes then gets confident and is fine. Just as i was getting confident on the road they basically pulled me off and said book another CBT. And its not like i made any absolutely reckless mistakes i just stalled the bike a few times. I was told basically to rebook, pay another £135 totaling £410 and to stop being anxious and just calm down. It does not work like that lol. Who does not feel anxious the first time on a bike on open roads?

At £135 per CBT it seems pointless. Because im paying just to redo what i already feel comfortable doing! And then when we get to the roads its just going to be the same thing over... It will take me 10 or so minutes to feel confident then im gonna be failed again before i can even gain enough confidence to not impair my clutch control.

Opinions please fellas?

I can't see the problem with them pulling you from the road, clutch control is basically the number one way you control a bike and if you're fucking that up on the road constantly you're dangerous.

It sounds like you need to find a way to overcome your nerves.

Do it on a twist and go, get it out of the way, then practice the clutch when you're not being scrutinised.

Do CBT on a twist & go. Then get a geared bike (if that's what you want) and get the hang of it at your own pace.

i crashed the ped into a fence (offroad bit) on my cbt and still 'passed'! haha. Tho tbh my road riding was near enough perfect.

Have you tried doing it on a twist n go? i dont know the rules around this but i did a cbt on a ped and was riding round on my 125 geared practising.

edit: andy and shaggy beat me to it by miliseconds :p

Are they making you pay for a whole new CBT each time? If so I'd go somewhere else, sounds dodgy to me.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

£410, lul what? You could have majority of DAS done for that.

You're being taken for a ride. Go find a different school.

I was under the impression with you only get unleashed onto the roads when they deem your not going to dead yourself or someone else?

A guy dropped his bike (er5) on our roadride, I was ok on my Bandit, but we both still "passed"

I didnt know you could fail a CBT?!

[Jayy]

I was told when I did my CBT some 16 years ago that the only way they weren't passing me is if I crashed on the road through lack of control.

They're rinsing you out money here
