Hi All

Does anyone know of anywhere in mancehster id be able to rent a 125 for or a day.
My missus did her CBT about a month ago and hasnt ridden a bike since. She went down to local bike training school for an asessment to see if shes gonna be ok to go out on the road to start lessons, however because of the whole month off thing, she was really unconfident and was a bit unsteady on the bike.
Their opinion was that she would be fine if she had another crack round a carpark for a few hours just to get used to the bike again and build up a bit of confidence.
They basically said that they wernt happy with taking her out on the road untill she got a bit more confidence back and reccomended that she try and get a little bit of practise offroad or redo her CBT - eitherway both options were a minimum of 100 quid if she did it with the school because thed have to book a carpark etc.
Instead of forking out for another CBT, i was wondering if it gonna be possible for me to rent a 125 (ive got my full license but only have my 600 now) and take her on the carpark myself at weekend - hopefully saving a bit of cash.
Anyone got any ideas where i can rent one from?

Cheers

Gaz.

Going by the other thread about bike hire a week ago its going to be around the same price.
One advantage of redoing the CBT is that its their bike should she fall off and damage it, well thats their problem. Do that on a hire bike and you will get well and truely stuffed on the ins front.

A quick google only brought up one place in manchester and that was only tourers/superbikes...
Maybe ask at some local dealers if they do it as a sideline. If not just get her a cheap 125 to ride, and you then have a back up in case of problems Thumbs Up
