So... after a few years riding pillion I have finally started on the solo biker status, took the theory yesterday and passed.. CBT next weekend 


Beware all North Lincs way on muhaha the roads will not be safe hehe. Seriously though, found a top guy to learn with so we shall see how I get on.

Oh, and have a ZX600 (1999) green of course, sat waiting for me when I get that test done, my eye is on the prize.

Gonna tart it up whilst learning. Any advice/encouragement greatly received

Good on you!
was the best thing I ever did (2 year anniversary of 1st bike is this sunday!)

I'm on the verge of north lincs if ya need a bimble buddy lol

Ooh are you? We go to Willingham quite regular and the wed. bike nights. Think the hubby is going to Matlock this week, we'll have to give you a should whn we go out.

So, had you any experience on a bike before you had 1st lesson?

Good for you, the CBT will be a breeze. By the end of that 6 hours or whatever it is you'll be well on your way. Keep us posted on progress   And good luck for the big bike test.

Well if you're ever near George Petchs in Grimsby I'll be found in the Suzuki side from the 4th Aug

me and other half sharing a bike at the mo, I'm the one with the hot pink knee sliders lol I have a hangover planned for
this sunday tho!

I rode a 49cc ped when I was 16.... so no no experiance before hand really
I did my CBT on a CB125 and then bought a CBR125, 6 weeks later I'd done my theory and booked a test
did it on my 125 and passed (I was amazed as I'd had no training bar my cbt!) so was restricted to 33bhp
re took test after a refresher training last year and dropped the restriction early.

Just relax, the yard work is a pig at 1st but chill it will come!!

Thanks! I ll have to keep you updated on here... learning diary haha. Hubby said his CBT (all those years ago) was through the cones, stay upright.. there you go, pass 

Mine is next weekend, and 6hrs... think its good that its all day though, gives you a feel for it straight away.

you starting a new job there? shall I ask for fluffy? colleague of mine just had his bike fixed there after a car hit him and knocked him off at mini roundabout  ouch!

I thought I was a rookie compared to everyone else on here. Passed my test 2 years ago by doing a 2 day intensive course. Passed my theory test, just... did my CBT 2 weeks later... then took my test the following week. There's no better feeling in the world than when they say "I'm pleased to tell you that you've passed". Hope it all goes well. Just remember to take a breath and enjoy the experience. You only get that first ride on a big bike once in your life.
