Apologies for potentially another 'what first bike' thread, but i'm looking for some sound advice.
I just hit the grand old age of 24 and can now do my bike test without worrying about silly restrictions and DAS nonsense. Unfortunately, i'm still a student for another year (millennials eh?).
I imagine i would need quite extensive tuition prior to a full bike test and this appears to be the best part of a grand, so i'm looking for the best way to increase my experience and skills so i'm slightly more confident come the day of the big test at some point in the next 18-24 months.
Previously i've ridden trials with my old man since my teens but haven't hopped on a bike for a good 3/4 years so the question is; Am i better off trying to get back into trials and hoping to refresh some 'transferable skills' that way? Or would it be best to do my CBT and ride around on a more affordable 125 which could hopefully hold its resale value until i upgraded?
Ultimately, what would be the best way to improve as a rider whilst i bide my time waiting to do the full test?
