When you are putting the bike on the centre stand, press down really really hard with your foot. Your other foot might have to leave the ground!

Don't yank on the front brake while the handlebars are turned.

You forgot RED LIGHT MEANS STOP


*This is especially important when sitting at said lights with traffic approaching from your left - eh Gavin. :D

Re: MrsT CBT
 

Riding a bike is a skill and it takes practice, so don't expect yourself to be perfect right away. Have a lot of fun and listen to your instructor, if they are any good they will have trained a thousand just like you before. If you don't make it through first time, so what? What matters is that you are confident, you enjoy learning how to ride and you look where you are going.

The CBT is there to ensure that you have a safe minimum level of training before you hit the road, so be positive and ride it like you stole it! Finally, remember to use your rear brake for slow control, it makes it so much easier to do. I had an instructor who tried to tell me that you don't use the brakes, but he was just a tight git who did not want to buy brake pads for training bikes!

Good luck XXX

Re: MrsT CBT
 

Kerry....this is such good news...lol.

I'd say:-

Relax
Look up and where you want to go...the bike will follow
Relax and...


RELAX....you can't fail your CBT hun, you can just take longer than one day to do it in....doesn't mean you can't do it, just means your instructor doesn't want to push you too quickly, so go with the flow, relax and enjoy it and you'll be fine...and have a massive grin on your face :-)

Re: MrsT CBT
 

Been a CBT Instructor for 11 years and this is great advice, just have fun and leave the worrying to the instructor, if he believes your safe enough you'll go out on the road, if he wants you to have more time he'll get you back in. Typically I have found women tend to over-analyse whilst men don't always 'think' enough, so just be aware of that, don't look for perfection in everything you do on the day! HAVE FUN!:)
