Re: numpty passed his CBT?
Wow, how can someone possibly be that bad after 3 days with an instructor?
I'm not sure who it says more about- him on the person who "taught" him. We had this stuff clear in our minds before we even sat on the bike.. |

CBT for some schools is just a route to get you onto DAS, one lad that was on my first day of DAS plainly couldnt ride and nearly rode into car, he shouldnt have been on the road IMHO

Re: numpty passed his CBT?
i was abit wobbly at first, but my instrcutors were pretty good, one was abit sternly scary, but he was still tuned-in
i dont see how 3 days with an instructor can teach you nothing, if its the instructor then what did these 3 days consist of without knowing about starting bike, gears etc, and if its the lad i dont see how someone cannot learn one single thing from 3 days perhaps he was very nervous and the instructor wasn't the most empathetic you work in a bike place then hovis? |

its not just the wobbly thing, hes not the sharpest knife in the draw, but he was just looking at the bike wishing it to start, he did not have a clue as to the petrol being on, choke,nuetral, i dont think he even knew he could kick start it, he said the shop did not show him |
