Red Flag.....umm not quite....it was a Honda 50 step thro' Red and cream with tartan panniers.
Bought from Hammonds in Cirencester. I was 16 and so proud
My Mum got her Fz50 from there, in white and blue. I used to take it out whenever my DT broke down (or had no fuel)Originally Posted by Annie

Good luck, every new bike rider welcomed! Don't forget the CBT is training not a test and you get a 'certificate of completion' as long as you complete it a competent manner, as long as you're sensible you will be fine. My nephew didn't get a sign-off first time though as he actually went through a read light but then he is a dipstick!!!Well done and good luck on your DAS training! I have my CBT on friday so fingers crossed
A long. long time since I took my bike test and any advice I gave you about that probably wouldn't be worth taking any notice of, the same as a couple of others commented on here, examiner was on foot and as long as you were half competent then you would pass, bit like a CBT but on a 100mph 250cc bike and without the wobbling around cones bit!
Two years ago took my IAM Advanced Riding test and even though that was pretty straightforward there are a few tips from that may be useful;
i) always observe the speed limit, even on 'ped it's not impossible to find yourself exceeding 30mph
ii) make sure you exaggerate the mirror checks so that the trainer sees you making them, even think about positioning your mirrors so that you have to move your head slightly to see in them correctly
ii) be smooooooth, braking, accelerating (less so on a 'ped) and cornering all better in smooth action
bought my brand new Puch Sport from Pete Hammond a 'cough' few years ago
Helped me with scrambling stuff/info too
It isn't Hammonds that own it now but they retained the name
