Guys, I'm searching for a little advice, so if you could help that'd be great
I'm 24 and ever since I can remember have loved motorbikes. I've had ups and downs about getting things done in regards to my tests, but now I finally feel confident enough to take control of the situation. I could keep going, just dreaming about it. But if I don't take a stand, my dream will never become true
.
So I'm completely new to everything. I've never ridden a motorbike before nor do I drive a car so everything to me is completely new. I have years ago rode a bicycle but never got to the stage of going on it enough and that was so long ago I was still a kid. I'm going to concentrate now on reading the highway code and a new book for motorcyclists (I've had these a few years). I will also be doing mock tests using the DVD.
1. Moved house around a year back and my provisional licence still contains my old address. I'm going to send off to fix this tomorrow. Do I need to get this corrected first before I can take anything? CBT, Theory?
2. Is this possible and have you done the same route? Ok I've decided I'm not going to jump straight into my DAS. My idea for this is that I would like to have the opportunity to do things a little easier with gaining experience first, like car learners do.
Before taking the CBT, do places allow you to take lessons beforehand to get used to the bike and handling before they feel you are ready for the CBT? I would then get a bike and ride a few months before hopefully moving on up with my tests. I know this route could potentially cost more but it would be worth it I think.
3. I haven't had an eye test for ages (last time I visited I was told my eyes was fine). Do you recommend getting these checked again before doing any tests?
I already own everything I need, from boots to the jacket, pants and even a helmet. All purchased maybe when I was around 21 (24 now). Never worn or used other than dressing myself up in my bedroom
Any help is greatly appreciated
