Hey
First time EVER driving something with an engine (apart from works go-karts)
Got there + geared up, straight onto the bike
Had me doing some straights up and down first, bit shaky - not looking up enough and I was "jerky" and not keeping revs consistent. But was great fun and loved it when I got used to that bit
Then it was slow manouveres around some cones, bit nervy at first but then I was doing well and taking them tight/wide and at a higher speed...
Got asked to do a slalom but didn't do all too well
Stalled the bike several times but oh well
Also did gear changes from 1>2, gets some getting used to but it was good
A good hour on the bike I had, was fun, DIDN'T FALL OFF! didn't drop it either, came close but kept hold of it
Used a CBF125
Cbt is next  |

Did my Get On session today as well mate. Pretty much the same as yours. I also had a CBF125.
Great fun, I highly recommend these sessions to anyone sitting on the fence as to whether or not they take up biking or not.
I could tell the instructor had had a busy day out and about with other bikers giving lessons etc, but fair play to him, he was very good with a newbie like me, so much so that my confidence grew very quickly in a very short space of time.
I was soon taking corners, changing up and down and starting and stopping pretty well, so he said.
CBT asap.  |
