125learner

Congrats on having the balls to walk, I hope everything works out for you, life's to short to be miserable

How can I get one? I spend a fortune at halfords as everything seems to break when the motor factors is closed

Thanks for the welcomes guys, what a nice friendly site

Falkirk, but been practicing in Grangemouth this week on my 125, was grinning like a Cheshire Cat when I got my first nod on Tuesday

I have also gone for this helmet with the drop down visor, I tried at least & different brands and sizes on and this just felt right, I love the vents and although it's not been sunny enough for the visor it's a good addition to the helmet. The pinlock is great and has kept the visor fog free.

Hi, I'm new on here and joined to read up on the cbt part of the training etc. I booked my training for last Monday (28th April) and passed it fine. Previous to that on the Saturday I had the free 1 hour "get on" session which had been my first experience of a bike. The get on session is a great idea as it gave me confidence of the clutch and brakes etc and getting the feel for getting the bike before jumping straight in with the cbt. Got positive feedback from the instructor who advised he would be more than happy for me to go straight onto mod1 which I was very happy about. I didn't like the training in the yard too much due it feeling a bit cramped but I managed it but when I got out on to the road it felt like everything just clicked. I've been driving a car for over 10 years and done some advance driving with work which I think helps with observations etc. I bought myself a little suzuki gn125, it feels slower compared to the yamaha I had on the cbt but I love it anyway and have been out most nights it's dry to build my confidence up. Think I will do my theory test next, how long does the theory certificate last as I don't want to rush doing mod1 and 2. Thanks
