... Would decide to piss it down. Oh well, early start and first time on a bike so should be fun whatever.

Wish me luck fellas, hopefully don't repeat the chappy walking his bike across a roundabout that I merrily laughed at as I drove past in the week!

Hopefully it does rain, bring some waterproof's and let a proper instructor teach you the in's and out's of riding in the rain. I did my first CBT in the rain and haven't fell off once touch wood.

Smooth on the controls and brakes, and only brake in a straight line. Simples. The CBT is a walk in the park quite literally if you're doing it on a scooter or already learned gears. Just basic highway code known, give way markings and giveway to the right on mini-roundabouts and what lane to go into (or switching lane with good observations.)

You'd have to be a danger to yourself or other road users to fail a CBT. Thumbs Up

I did my first CBT in the rain some years ago. Was the first time I ever rode a bike too.....gears and everything. As the poster above says, relax and listen to your instructor. You'll be fine Smile

Good luck

took my CBT in the rain, had to wait an hour or so each morning of my DAS 'for the frost to melt' as it was during winter and snowing..

.. so don't worry about the weather, just do it Very Happy

Did it and passed. The girl who was also doing it got harassed by a chav in a clio and came off, knackering the bike, which was sad as she was doing well.

It's true what they say, you feel the speed more on a bike than a car, not quite sure which I prefer but i'll have both so we shall see once I pass the DAS and get a beast.
