Completed my CBT yesterday, insured the DT125 and went out for a spin! Well what can i say!

Awesome. First time ove ever owned a bike and it was the first time id ridden one yesterday! Completed 100 miles to about £7's worth of fuel as well lol

Had some chav pull right out in front of me but no bother. Just got to be more alert. Gonna do my test after a few months and move onto something bigger. Wish id done it sooner now.

yep, get test done, you wont regret it, it teaches you a lot more safety riding techniques as well, (providing you get a good instructer) he will teach you to ride safe, not just to pass the test. Try to ride out with experienced riders also (ones who arent ****'s) I learnt a lot from my dad and uncle.

Expect everyone on the road to be a complete ****, if you are always prepared for people to do the stupidest things, you should be safe.
I know the feeling well mate, and everytime you upgrade the bike to something bigger, the smile will grow and grow.

I have had a permonent smile on my face for the last two weeks since picking up the beast the other sunday, before that I had a 400, before that an RS125 so I went up in nice intervals and it just gets more and more fun.

Great fun aren't they! Just ride safe and don't push yourself, and get your full test done!

Another one who has got the bug

I'd try and get your test sorted sooner rather than later because you can pick up some bad habits which are hard to shake off in training, I know I had some

annother good point, get it done mate, I had plenty of bad habits, rod my (restricted officer) RS125 round for 6 months before hand, kept getting shouted at for going to fast and being on the "racing line" on my 2 day course, passed with one minor though. That was over 2 years ago now.
Its great passing early though, some of the looks I get and the "how old are you?" comments are great when I take my lid off sitting on a nearly new R6
