*** How to obtain a bike license ***

[AlphariusOmegan]

congrats, and the CBR650 is a very good bike imo, i have one i decided on that one as my first bike because its the same power to weight ratio as my car

Picking up a Honda CB125R on Sunday and more nervous to ride it out the showroom than I was before the test lol.

I'm sure it will be fine once I get on it.

Just remember that everyone else on the road is out to kill you and you won’t go far wrong.

Had my first proper ride out today to my parents and back which is about 20miles each way on deristricted roads and stuff.

Found out 50mph feels a lot quicker on a bike! Got overtaken a few times on my way there but much better on the way back. Good journey that I'm sat here analysing now.

Keeping my speed through bends and being confident through them at pace needs work. Gonna have a read and speak to friends and stuff.

Youtube is your friend, absolutely tons of helpful vids on there.

Welcome to the club, best thing you'll ever do

Will be looking to get my license early next year with a full DAS course. Been wanting and planning on it for a while now so excited to starting booking things.

At 6ft2 I’m guessing I may be a little more restricted on good fitting bikes but I’m sure I’ll find something.

You done your CBT? Theory?

 

[Itchytrigg]

You done your CBT? Theory?

Nope! Local bike trainers have full access courses which include them so was aiming to knock it all out fairly quickly. I did do a couple tester theory test which I passed quite easily so wasn’t worried about that side.

Try and do your theory as soon as you can, you can’t do your Mod1 without it.

True. The course I looked at included it but no issues getting it dealt with before hand of course.

 

[McGray]

Mod 1 passed today! Yes!

Convinced myself I was gonna fail all weekend and got too nervous but I got it.

Cheers! Booked for April 11th so a bit of a wait but I'm fine with that as works for me.

 

[Diddums]

Congrats dude, and good luck with the new one!

 

[Malt_Vinegar]

That's the easy bit done, now to the proper test! (Usually everyone disagrees with me on this, so I am probably wrong )
