 Thing is, dont try and take to much in just yet. Just practise the basics, otherwise you'll just be on complete informaiton overload and you'll never take it all in.

Re: CBT in the rain....proper rain.
I know. Luckily, I have always made a point as a pillion of looking where I am going, so didn't find myself looking down or focusing on anything today, no need to keep that up. It's amazing to feel for yourself how non scary it is going over bumps and dips in the road.
I just need to remember to keep my clutch IN when I stop...lol |

Re: CBT in the rain....proper rain.
Fan - bloody - tastic. Well done!!!
The 500 is much easier, even though it feels hude when you first get on after the 125. But then you pass your test and get your own bike, quite possibly an SV650. Trust me, when you then go back to the 500 it will feel tiny, and you'll wonder why you ever thought it was big. Go girls!!! |

Re: CBT in the rain....proper rain.
Thanks Sally. Won't be getting an SV (oh, the shame
 but mostly because I have a gorgeous little CBR400RR in the garage waiting for me. Well, when Dan has got it sorted and MOT'd...lol.

Re: CBT in the rain....proper rain.
Well Done
I remember doing a lesson in the pouring rain and could not see a thing Remember how great i felt when I finished and instructor said I handled it really well I did mine lessons and test on a 125 as did not manage with the 500cc because my first instructor was terrible. Kept pushing me to do menouvers I was not ready for and I dropped the bike and hurt myself As long as you have a good instructor who allows you to develop your skills and learn within your ability you will be fine
