Shit weather for the weekend - time to zip up the man suit!

[Robster]

Mentioned to my work pals I booked a CBT for Sunday morning, took great pleasure in informing me that the weather's supposed to be cack down here over the weekend with Sunday being the worst day... Suggesting I rent a jet ski, arm bands etc...

Not scared of a bit of water but hope the instructor doesn't cancel!

Anyone else do their CBT in poopoo weather?

[CaNsA]

we live in Britain......

[petechett]

Where abouts are you? I'm in the Bournemouth area and am going to go & pick up my new bike today, just hope the weather doesn't go to shit.

I don't think the CBT will matter if it's abit wet. Don't worry anyway I think you'd have to do something pretty special to fail a CBT.

[Slugerrz]

Done my CBT in the pissing rain/sleet like 3 months ago, you will be fine mate

[Robster]

aye live in Ensbury Park at the mo off Boundary rd, just thought for once it might not fuck it down with rain on a weekend when i'm free

i'll take me watter pruffs

Layer up as well, and a thick neck tube or scarf can make the difference between cosy and misery.

Done my CBT last January when it was snowing here, not too bad though cause the roads were mostly clear.

Done mine in the horrendous wind and floods over xmas. Instructor even said "i didnt bother bringing my own bike as didnt wanna bin it in this" filled me full of confidence!!

Did my renewal cbt in torrential rain. Had a bit of riding experience admittedly by then but you'll be fine. Id get down your local primark or similar and get a pair of thin thermal gloves if you havent got any/your own winter gloves you trust.

Cbt centre gloves can be pretty knackered and shitty sometimes. Last thing you want is a day or cold hands

[Nobby the Bastard]

Didn't do my CBT in shit weather but I have come down the M5 on my FZ when I would have been better off in a boat...

My Mod 2 came close to being cancelled due to standing water. I actually think it was helpful in a sense, since you can be a bit more careful without worrying that it's 'hesitating'.

[metalangel]

Did my CBT in cold October rain. If anything it'll help convince you to get decent waterproof gear, because after the end of the thing I went home in miserable cold wet clammy clothing and just wanted to stay in the shower forever warming myself up.

[Robster]

All very useful stuff fellas thanks very much. So neckwarmer, thermal gloves, and ill stick me helly hansen ski thermals on

[Dave70]

Had mine in January too. Freezing temperature and constant rain, except when it started to hail.

Most of my gear held out pretty well, except the gloves. It was like riding with my hands in two freezing cold soggy sponges. Oh, and my examiner was a cnut too.

Still passed though.

I did my CBT in the rain in the middle of summer

You'll be fine.

[TomReilly]

Did mine in absolute piss rain and was soaked to the crotch, should be kk[/list]
