Thanks for your replies guys. Im 29 years old, been driving for 12 years. so have basic road sense. Never rode anything on two wheels before, apart from a push bike of course. So that is why i have decided to buy a 125cc after CBT just to get the feel of a bike and build my confidence etc. Im sure taking this route would only benefit me. I have booked my theory test for oct 12th. I am passing mock test with flying colours and have read the book cover to cover, just have to practise hazard perception next. Then i will be taking my CBT, and go from there.
