Decided to try biking a while ago. Today sat on a bike for the 1st time, had a few hours for a pre-cbt session.

I wasn't great but then it was my first go, really tense and of course not looking where i want to go so getting fixed on the wrong target. Leaning feels so wrong but i was starting to get the hang of it.

Instructor said i was doing well for a total newbie.

Got a CBT booked for early august, got a bit carried away with the whole thing and stuck a deposit down on a Honda CBR125 r-5 Repsol colours.

Hopefully the CBT will be fine and I'll be on the road soon. Doesn't look like I'll be able to get a DAS course in before the change over but I'll get that done and be on a 600 before i know it... well that's the plan anyway.

CBT's a day, DAS can be as short as 3 days if you like - perhaps hiring a 125 from the school post-CBT and booking your DAS & test ASAP would speed things up? I'm hiring a 125 tomorrow and start my DAS a week Saturday and I'm a complete newbie too! biggrin

I don't think you'd need any pre-CBT training if you do the whole day session...
