Hi all,i'm new to the biking world.
I'm 32 & today did my CBT Very Happy

.Wow it was a bit different to what i was expecting.Well anyway 9am this morn i hadnt riden before & at 5pm i was flying around A & B roads.
I think i will get a 125 for a while to get some basic skills & hopefully move onto my Direct Access.
Does anyone have any tips on riding skills or the like??
I was told to maybe find a quiet carpark to practice U turns & Emergency stops.

Cheers for reading

buy a cheap 125cc like honda cg125 and ride!and ride some more! then when you think you riding is ok go for your DAS and then sell the cg125 when you pass, prob wont lose much on its value, unless you crashed it.lol, good luck with it all. got my test soon so know what your feeling about being good enough or not
