thing is ITS YOUR LIFE ON THE LINE , not the CBT instructors so if you think its ok to risk it then do it , else don't.

I'm not a chav it's just i'm fed up with riding in the gutter on a 50cc and in my opinion theres no point in a car before going to university because i won't have it for long enough to make the vast amounts of money worthwhile.

I can't find any 125's in my area that havn't been de-restricted. Do many people ride de-restricted illegally? Does it really matter? Does it make a huge difference?

I thought you had to take a seperate cbt for a manual bike.

When i had my cbt it had like a box to say if it was a manual cbt i took.

Yeh. I did my CBT on a manual bike and on the certificate there is a box titled 'Category Restrictions', but it's been left blank. Perhaps you are s'posed to do another CBT if your going from auto to gears, but they just dont bother with it?

I did my CBT on a Yamaha YQ100 (automatic scooter)

Never toutched a geared bike in my life before that. A year later. my mate bought a 125 geared bike. I had 2 or 3 goes up and down the street and that was it, mainly getting used to the clutch after several stalls.

3 weeks later I bought the CBR. Rode home! Not a problem

Did a CBT on a ped when i was 16 (few months before my birthday) just to get it out of the way, got a 125 shortly after my birthday and had taught myself to use gears (albeit with a few bad habits that were picked up by my instructor for my test) safely within a few hours.

Woo for abandoned carparks and no witnesses
