My 3 day course analysis.

[JonB]

Good morning, leaving to start my 3 day course on a 125. Can't wait. I will use this thread to report back at the end of the day what I had done, so people in the same situation as me know what to expect etc.

I'm well excited! It's sunny as well!

Woot, almost there.

What a fantastic day!

Was meant to be out practicing gears there for an hour...after 15 minutes was out on the road. Instructor said I was best rider he has had for ages and thoroughly enjoyed the rideout.

We were on brand new 125s 0 miles on the clock. Scrubbing in tyres. I had the smallest chicken strips at the end.

Can't wait for tomorrow!

The training isn't about bragging about chicken strips, save it for after your test, because you'll be gutted if you fail on something whilst being this confident during training.

Nice to hear your doing well you lucky b*stard. Another 4 months still til I turn 17, seems so far away

Gears are easy to do, shouldn't really take an hour unless you really don't know what your doing. You did it in 15 mins, got it quicker than my 20 mins of learning in the back lane!

Well i'm glad that you're having fun - best tip for the test is to be confident, but not overly confident. Aren't gears fun! After a while - you'll start to get used to the feeling and then u'll be clutchless upshifting it everywhere with your Bandit + sublime gearbox (so i'm lead to believe)

Well today after a late start we decided that a blast down to West Bay was in order and so we went down there and had a cuppa. Then we headed along the coast road to Weymouth where the fog had descended so we decided to head back to Yeovil on the A37 and I had to overtake a car, so fun!

Then we went to Millies for some food, yum yum and then off to V&J for the afternoon so the instrucotr could complain about his broken down bike. Then we did a spot of minger hunting in Yeovil town centre and then did some U turns and Emergency stops which eventually I managed to do well.

Went over to Weymouth meself today. As you say pretty foggy was'nt it? Also found that there was lots of bank holiday traffic which was a pain as I was stuck in the car What 125 do they use for your course?

[Josh|RD125LC]

I'm hoping to take my test in August now. My mum wants me to take extra lessons before I jump on either of the RD or the RG. So I thought, instead of having advanced lessons, why not just take the A2? So I can take pillions for a start, but also not have those lame 'L' plates on. Me thinks its a good idea.

Glad to see your enjoying your course.

Jonny, what's the score? Jonny, Jonny, what's the score?

[Gazdaman]

I think this must be the most anticipated test on BCF so far.

All bar the guy with that mint RVF. I forget the name.
