CBT in the rain....proper rain.
AND I PASSED!!!
Normally I think I'd have been really happy, but the instructor stopped a few times in the second hour of the on road assessment and almost stopped it due to the amount of water sitting on the roads and it being my first day riding, so getting a pass in those conditions has made me literally jump with joy...lol Obviously I've done many miles pillion, but I was so happy at how quickly you can get comfortable on a bike. I stalled a few times on the road.....not keeping the clutch held in) but soon sorted myself out on that one and he said each time I stalled I didn't panic, did all the right things and got moving nice and quickly, so happy with that. The best bit of all though....doing the slalom, figure of 8 and u turn....I LOVE THAT STUFF! It felt amazing leaning the bike over a bit and counter steering at such slow speeds. I thought it would take me ages to do that but it was my favourite bit. Anyway....enough excitement for me. They are putting me up to the 500 at 10.30 tomorrow because I did so well today, so you watch me go back tomorrow and stuff it all up...lol

Congratulations.
Good luck with the 500s. They're much more fun than the little 125s once you've got used to them. |

Re: CBT in the rain....proper rain.
Thanks guys. My only concern is not gettiing overconfident. The instructor said that very often people are a bit too quick on car tests, but he said he's never seen someone on their first day of riding get on the roads and just go like that....lol. I think being pillion for so long helped a lot with that!
Bring on the 500's, I can't wait now....although I am shattered and have done my shoulder in by sleeping on it funny last night. At least it doesn't hurt in the riding position
