epidemic Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 I am a 46 year old male going in for his CBT on Nov 9th I have never had a car or bike in my life. If at all possible what advice can this old man get, it will be for a 125cc geared bike for now till i get some experience. 1.what would be a good bike for a guy like me? 2.what type of PPE would you recommend? 3.should i start to revise for theory and so on now or wait a little ? Any advice welcome 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Second hand jap bike in good condition, you will get what you paid for it when time comes to move up. Safety, what budget? as you can spend over the odds easy but you don't necessarily have to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spongefinger Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 1) What kind of bikes do you like ! 2) I posted elsewhere the cost of my gear. Although I wouldn't recommend getting a second hand helmet unless you know it's history. Helmet - £50 from friend Jacket - RST from XLmoto reduced to clear £59 Gloves - £25 ARMR Moto Ikedo from the sportsbikeshop Trousers - £55 Spada Milan-Tex from the sportsbikeshop Boots - Course Shorties £44 half price sale XLmoto And have great fun at your CBT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
