Well, CBT out of the way, glad its over cause I found it quite stressful. I haven't even sat on a bike before so it was ALOT to take in. I did it on a manual bike and am feeling very proud of myself. I wasn't shore they were going to let me on the road because my control of the bike was a bit dodgy at times but out I went for 2 very tense hours and at the end I got my certificate...wooo hoo!!

I kept leaving my indicators on and some of my observations were a bit slack but all that was due to me concentrating on gear changes. Cant wait to get my bike now and get out on the road and practise. Still thinking about the Sinnis trackstar/ retrostar or a 2nd hand yamaha tw 125, the problem with the 2nd hand choice is that none are coming up local to me so I may be in for a wait.

Big decision......I like the idea of getting a brand new bike as long as it lasts, Im right on the coast here in Brighton so sea air and rust may be problem.......I believe some people coat the bikes in a spray to protect it??

cheers for listening
