First bike and CBT

[Mommasoph]

Just brought my first bike Honda shadow and got my CBT booked next week. Can anyone give me any tips ? Thanks Sophia

Enjoy it, the instructor will do the rest

Enjoy! Listen to the instructor and keep your head up. Tempting as it is, don't look at the ground/front wheel.

Thanks in a bit anxious about the road bit lol . But I have been driving for 8 years . It’s juat going to be listening and doing to controls which I may struggle with ! I’m confident t I’ll be ok on road positions and distance between vehicles motto check and life saver that should be fine ! Obv I’m nervous ! I’ll keep you posted !!!

Practice and patience, it's like learning to drive, once your hands and feet know what they are doing you can concentrate on the riding.

After cbt just find a quiet place and practice starting stopping and junctions, industrial estate on an evening is usually a good place.

Don't worry if things don't go as well as you expect it's a steep learning curve but one to enjoy.

Good luck

Thank you, im hoping my car experience will come into play, I had a taster session before booking and was riding round the pad after 10 mins, so think Ill be ok on the day.!
