Whats the best thing to wear when im doing my CBT/DAS

In this weather, helmet (can be supplied if you have a death wish), jacket (should be supplied), trousers (at least waterproofs, might be supplied but they're only a tenner) and gloves (probably not supplied, £20 minimum).

Hi

Are you intending to buy some bike gear first?

Basically a decent sturdy jacket and boots which cover your ankles. Tough trousers (decent jeans maybe, not light weight fashionable items). And wrap up warm.

Check with where you are doing your cbt. See what they supply. While your own helmet is a good idea (and gloves) from my understanding part of the CBT is a bit of a talk about these items so it might be best to hear them out first.

All the best

Edit: Also a helmet as it's a legal requirement! Razz

just get the best kit that you can afford, dont matter what you going to be riding falling of a moped will hurt just as much as a fireblade, untill the speeds start getting illegal.

If you dont have anything they should supply most things, wear jeans just in case.

If you're planning on buying a bike (or riding someone else's) after the test, you may as well get the helmet / jacket / gloves now. I can't really see the point in waiting another couple of weeks when you'll need them anyway.

I agree with what's being said. If you're thinking of going into biking straight away after passing, you may as well buy the stuff now.
It actually seemed to impress my instructer when I turned up in full gear. Worth a thought, if he unsure about something you did, you wanna be on his good side.

What the guys above have said basically.

When i did my CBT they would only offer me a helmet because it was the only legal requirement for riding a bike on the roads. Well, that and having your dignity covered Wink
