This afternoon Shane bravely agreed to let me have a practice ride on his bike around an area of private land.
After a run through of the basics and what buttons and levers did what I took my first tentative steps on a motorbike…..at least I would have done if I had not stalled it the first few times 
.
After a few laps of the area I had a much better idea of how things worked and I think I was slowly getting the hang of the basics which should hopefully prove very useful next week during the CBT.
We also had a go at the theory test that Dave brought earlier and between us managed to score a respectable 45 / 50 so with a bit of reading up and a practice exam or two I might even get round to booking the theory test at some point.
Having a go before your CBT is definitely the way to go, you should find the CBT a piece of cake now. On the theory test front, I’d advise you to take it as soon as possible after you’ve done the CBT, I believe they’re going to be adding a new section to it some time around easter which means more questions to potentially get wrong.
I agree with Aidy… I am planning to book my theory test in the nxt week or 2! Anyone want to join me?!?
No, I don’t think I’ll join you. Doing it once is enough for me!
Actually Aidy, I was hoping you would give me a hand with it… we could always try out our new comm system!?!
