I passed my CBT yesterday. There was 4 of us in the waiting room, turned out 2 people waiting were there as they weren't of a good enough standard for the road ride on the 1st attempt. The 3rd guy would be the guy with me all day and it turned out he had already passed a CBT, ridden a bike for a year etc. I bought a YBR125 and literally got a quick once round my housing block the day before with my dad who has ridden for 40+ years. Felt like i was comparing myself to him a lot as he got everything perfect almost each time, although he did manage to slam the front brakes a few times mid corner which sent him all over the place. I managed not to stall once on my CBT, the instructor (personally) i felt didnt teach me enough about using the clutch at low speeds and also for cornering by not fully extending the clutch out as a few times i flung the bike wide at corners on the off road side (their track wasn't great, slight gradient and also very tight compared to the streets) I really fluffed the figure of 8. the other guy zoomed ahead did it in one. Instructor never told me really how best to do it and to this day i still haven't really got a clue, although i managed it eventually i think it was luck i got it. Road ride was really good, instructor was good and very precise over the radio and he made us feel comfortable. only twice did he need to tell us off, guy with me cut infront of someone at a roundabout and i was too far left on a roundabout going straight on. Both of us passed and i genuinely think we both did well, i have done 150 miles on my wee YBR since yesterday and loving it, although you sure as hell notice the bad drivers. Going to get some make shift cones and go to a car park and practice
