If it's any encouragement, I found the road part of the CBT easier than the machine control bit that went before. It all seemed to come more easily when I was concentrating on other things like traffic and road signs.  All the best for your next session :-)

I think it's like riding a pushbike, a little faster than you think you should go makes it a lot more stable and easier to control.

Having the confidence to that however, is a different matter.

 

Good luck with it.

One thing I wasn't expecting, my left hand / wrist is hurting today! We spent a lot of time on slow control,  getting that clutch feel, keeping the revs even and using that rear brake,  harder than it looks!

Using muscles and tendons a lot, also the bars and controls aren't really setup for an individual, something you can sort when you get your own bike.

Cheers fella - I think that might help, I noticed when I didn't think to much about the mechanics of changing gear,  finding hitting point etc, it worked better for me.  I also know the roads round that area really well so I have a feeling this will be borne out.

Competed my CBT! Just 30 mins on the paddock,  followed by 2 hours on road, slow control etc done previously.   Steep learning curve but felt much more comfortable by the end. Left with good feedback to carry on learning on my own,  super happy! And got up to 60+ on dual carriageway! Still need to work on clutch control, gear changes sometimes a bit wooden, but it's getting there fast. Time to find a bike!

Well done!

You'll be belting around the local roads like a looney before you know it.
