I just passed my CBT and rode home. OMG, WHAT A FEELING!!!!!!!

The instructor said that I was the best CBT student she has ever seen (and I've had no motorbike experience before). Couple of problems, including the fact that my bikes turning circle was just too wide for a proper U turn (the instructor tried it). Also half way through the ride we stopped and noticed that my coolant was leaking out (bottle way empty by that time, cue half a litre of Abbey Well going into it - any idea what caused it?(new bike)) and the instructor also noticed that my radiator isnt screwed on at all and is just hanging there.

Anyway, I'm totally chuffed and totally pissed off that the bike has some things going wrong with it as I'm not sure if I want to go out on it tonight if something might blow up/go wrong.

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Nice one

I wish I had learnt to ride sooner - did DAS at 29 (3 years ago)

Funky little bike - is it geared or auto/scoot?

Safe riding!

:SHOUT:FASTEN YOUR CHINSTRAP!!!


Congrats on the first step. Get the bike run in then sort out getting it derestricted, it'll be safer when you can accelerate away from trouble.
