Perhaps the previous rider managed to do very tight figure of eights while scraping the pegs. [/quote]

Unhelpful post is unhelpful. I apologise for the virtual kittens that were murdered as a result of my actions.

Just do as they say, get on a twist and go.

When he mentioned villa, he was probably looking for a bit of banter back, not a heppy about how sh1tty his chinky 125's are.

Cbt's are gay. Just jump on an automatic and concentrate on your road craft, instead of worrying about your clutch control.

Clutches don't save your life, roadcraft does.*



*unless your engine decides to seize for a giggle, obviously....

Are you paying for these re-sits?

if you're not paying then turn up as cheerful as ever, they're the ones loosing money on it.

you could just accept a CBT on a T&GO as it would let you on the road on any 125cc that's learner legal and you're away

go elsewhere and pass with people who give a crap.

but there again....unticked BBC,but options to the left still say they are on...Permanently?


Wonko TS,now that I didnt know [I payed 'guaranteed pass',so yea,I see your point,I should be lappin it up!)...maybe thats why he mentioned T&GO it and wasnt taking the P?!
I'm just far too para to see any good in situations....maybe why I end up with so much pointless aggro all the time!

Fk!...I thought that meant condemned to T&G use only,didnt realize you can use a geared bike,passing on a T&G....

then at least i can practice somewhere safe (legally) for the full test with my own bike...
But i think I'd rather the 'thumbs up' from them on a 'geared' bike for sure, maybe just knuckle down and accept their opinion of my capabilities however long it takes....Sure,I could do better,just impatience I suppose,but not in a foolish way,I'm not the big 'I-AM' Man,just confident that I'm not gonna do anything daft out there,and I dont really want to cause them any bother with complaints (I'm not really into that kind of biz anyway) but would at least like to think that if I had probs with the bike,at least it would be sorted for next time round, and in fairness,he did suggest that I could use my own bike,but as all my trusted Biker mates are either dead or dying,I cant get it to&from and transporting it is just out the question.Besides,that's not very advisable is it,for obvious reasons.
So there you go,another pointless post from me and answering my own bldy question's again...!
It really is good to talk tho at least I've learn something today

[andym]

I thought the CBT only lasted for a day.... unless of course you are a danger to yourself and others on the road

Good morning Rogerborg,No,I didnt,was meaning to but damn phone was out of juice!
i didnt sign anything either if i remember rightly, and I had to pay half by card and the rest in cash on the day of the lesson.

Stupid really,ive just found a place just down the road and £30,00 cheaper for so called 'guaranteed' pass!

[Rogerborg]

Urgh, I've just realised that this is a continuation of last month's drama.

It does sound as though you'll be as well going elsewhere, but do please consider that biking isn't for everyone.

You can't fail a CBT... You can only 'not attain the correct standard for the road'. Either the training school in question is completely dire, or you have no aptitude for biking.

Did they charge you for the second day?

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

Biking isnt for everyone?
I'm not 'everyone' and i intend on getting full access within 2 years of the L plates...
I ve always wanted to do this,but never had a chance to do it all those years ago due to being locked up for most of my 'childhood',so now I am a tad wiser,i'm going for it mate,all out,and needs to be done before i die or before altzeimer shows up! Bad enough with the sciatica and I'll be 45 this year..

Assuming everything you say is accurate the school sounds a bit shit.

I'd just do it on the twist and go. You can still ride a geared 125 after. It's the quickest easiest, least stress route for you to take.

[pdg]

You said you'd been back twice after the initial CBT, so you've done THREE days training now?

To be honest, I'm not surprised they are trying to stick you on a T&G, they're trying to get rid of you now. How was the attitude on your first day? Your second? Did it go downhill after you failed to complete the training on the first day?

If it has indeed taken 3 days to not complete a CBT there is something fundamentally wrong - either the 'instruction', the pupil (both of these include personality clashes between the two parties) or - at the outside - the equipment. If the footpegs are indeed bent then yes, that should be repaired. It matters not if the instructor could 'cope with it', it's not him being trained.

This is where you have to look afresh - how many other pupils at this particular school take as long to complete the training? Do they do it on the same bike with the same instructor?

As an 'introduction to the world of biking' this is quite a poor example, but it does seem to be happening more often - there are 3 possible reasons that spring to mind........

Instructors have got shorter tempers these days.

Pupils are much harder to train these days because teenagers want everything done for them.

The internet makes it easier for people to spread their malcontent.



Have a think, assess the situation properly and if it comes to it take the hit and go with a different instructor/school - complain if it makes you feel better but don't expect a gold plated refund with written apology.
