Taking myself off to bed with book the instructor gave me today after I booked tests, I have lots of reading to do. :)
welcome to WB!
good luck with the test
Hi Jac welcome to Wiltshire Bikers. Goodluck with the test.
Welcome! good luck with passing :)
welcome and good luck! [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
Hello Jacde
Welcome to WB Good Luck with your test [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
Ah welcome to WB mate [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
Hey
Best of luck passing everything :D
Top tip is to relax on everything. No-ones out to do you in for no reason!
Id defiantly book each test at different times (or get your training centre to reserve but not pay)
Cheers mate
Nathan
Welcome Jacde! I would buy a bike to do your test on - that way when you pass you can whip the L plates off and get on with it! That's what I did!! :) Good to have you on WB!
Thanks for the warm welcome so far, currently you will find me mostly reading thru the technicalhelp/riding tips :D
As for my own bike, well I'm really not beholden to any particular make, but I'm only 5' 1" so whatever I get it's got to be small enough for me to get my leg over!! ;)
hi and welcome to the wb good luck with the test hope to see you soon
hi and welcome to the wb good luck with the test hope to see you soon

Hi and welcome and best of luck with the tests [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
8 days and counting to my CBT is anyone else on here a complete novice like me?
Really looking forward to meeting tons of new friends :D
and being tail end Charlie on any ride outs! :)
You'll defo make loads of friends and everyone can ride at their own pace - it's important you do as a learner too. Best of luck for your CBT [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
Hi and Welcome - hope the cbt goes well - don't forget to relax and enjoy it as thats what biking is all about. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
Hello & welcome. Good luck and enjoy your test
Not that I'm counting but I start my CBT in 21 hours!
;D
Good luck chuck! [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
Try not to let it be a pressure situation, just say to yourself "I'm going to see what I can learn from this and enjoy myself as much as I can" 8-) :)
Hi, welcome to WB, and good luck for 2morrow [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
Yellow and welcome
Hiya Jac, good luck for tomorrow, see you soon on 2 wheels x

As for the bikes, get whatever you fancy, don't let your height restrict you, I'm a shortie and have had both my bikes lowered. [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]
Get yourself a snotter CG125 off Ebay and ride it everywhere up to your DAS, guarenteed you'll get the money back on it, when it comes time to buy your first Busa.
Well? :-?Quote:

Well I was terrified and excited at the same time, at one point I really did think I wouldn't ever ride a bike and then I had a bit of an eureka moment [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
The instructor, John, has the patience of a saint and is so encouraging and I can't wait to go back.
I've had the advice from you all running through my rather fluffy brain on a continuous loop today, and it helped enormously, so thank you all so very much.
Can't believe how shattered I am tho, so I'm not jumping on the bike tomorrow (as much as I would love to) but going back next week, instructor thinks the experience from today will mean that next week I'll get through the CBT, I did managed to get as far as figure of 8's and I only had 1 big wobble where I dropped the bike, but otherwise I'm loving every minute of it.
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
See, told you.... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
Well done for getting aboard, take your time, do it at your own pace, take a deep breath and enjoy..... 8-)

Im quite new myself,
hopefully i will join u at the tail end of a rideout [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
That's great news, [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]
Don't worry about dropping the bike - we have all done it - one experienced rider I know did it u turning only last week! ;D
Keep us posted how you get on next week. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

It's a deal V1per [smiley=thumbsup.gif] however I think it'll be a while yet before I'm unleashed on the great unsuspecting public :o
Why on earth did I not find biking years ago? ;D
Right I'm shattered, so I'm off to bed, but once again, thanks so much for the encouragement folks, you're fab :)
Oh, no cbt today then? Did you do that thing with, oh, what are they called? The ones by the greyhound racing ground, Abbey something? They let you have a go on their 125 but you're not actually doing any tests?
Hi Morticia, yep it was the start of my CBT yesterday, going to take a few days I reckon as the only thing with 2 wheels I've ever ridden is a cycle, but both instructor and myself were happy with the progress I made yesterday so thumbs up all round [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
I'm using ABC training in Swindon, do Abbey do taster sessions then?
Welcome and well done on the start of your CBT. As for only being 5' 1", I consider that tall! I'm only 4' 11.5"
kj
Hi Bikermouse, out of curiosity what do you ride? I'm 5' 1.5" ;D the half makes all the difference doesn't it!
