Weeeelllllll i did my CBT about 7 or 8 months ago and the person that had it before me yanked to hard and went over the bars and broke there shoulder, this aint the reason why i was wondering, just thought it would be an interesting to see if it could be done.

Might ask at my local dealers (and give them a good laugh)

Did anyone else have there test done with the tester in a car and not on a bike? Was a little funnie i kept losing him when pulling away from round abouts.

Over the bars or did he just lose the front end by locking it up and going down that way. I would be very surprised if the front brake on a cg125 was powerful enough to do a full blown stoppie at playground speed

I've stoppied a cg at 30 odd mph, was interesting for sure.
I've seen scooters that seem to be light enough to flip you over the bars. Not something I've tried to do, I can't even master going round corners on a scooter.

On an SR125, which is one of the main CBT machines, you need to be sitting on the tank to stoppie it... Well, we had to find something to do on that long 2nd day of DAS

I'd agree that more likely they lost the front and ended up going over the front after it hit the ground- the bike can dig in and throw you that way.

The CG's got one of the worst front brakes still out there, it was drum till a couple of years ago wasn't it? Saw a review of the "new" one saying htat the new version with the front disc isn't powerful enough to lock the front up...

The drum brake was bloody awful, yeah.
I haven't seen anything of the new CG, I thought they weren't being officially imported because they don't have a chance in hell of meeting the emissions standards.
Some of the Kymco variants of a CG are supposed to be pretty good, though, they have discs front and back too.

The ridings school said not to worry if the examiner went out in his car, "....get a few cars between you and him and you can go mental."

I was out in really bad conditions where the examiner was genuinely surprised that we turned up.
She followed in the car and I had a whale of a time keeping well out of her reach.

Mine followed in a car too... He went a bit strange and had us drive down a perfectly straight 30mph road for about 5 minutes... Did the e-stop and u-turn, then rode back down the same 30mph road for 5 minutes! I was petrified, I was sure I was missing something or we'd lost radio contact or it was really a 40 or something

sorry i was a little misleading there i didnt mean cbt i ment on the test, but i did go out on the 500 honda thing straight after my cbt. As for the bloke breaking his shoulder no he didnt drop the bike he went right over the bars. And i cant remeber what the bike was that i did the cbt on but it wasnt a cg125 it was sodding horrible but i dont think it was one if them.
