Bikers on here

[Nibble]

I need to learn the basics of Motorbike riding, don't need to pass the test. Is there anywhere you can get a one off lesson to just teach you the very basics of riding? Cheers.

Place in Haywards Heath near the station lets you hire 125cc bikes by the hour and they give you a crash course on how to ride it.

Excellent that sounds like the ticket. Thanks Bristol.

Or is that a course on how to crash it?

I would suggest doing the CBT (compulsory Basic Training) i did mine on a saturday, its a day course costing about £75-£100 dependent where you do it. i started with a bit of playground riding in the late morning and then in afternoon spent a couple of hours on main roads. Been riding now just over two years and I love it (except snowy weather isn't much fun!!). The main test has changed since I sat mine but at least the CBT will give you an idea whether you want to proceed to the main test. I believe you need the CBT to ride on roads anyway on a 125cc with L-Plates, and the certificate lasts for two years, which at the end you either do another CBT or hopefully will have passed the main test by that time.

Well at the moment I just need to look fairly competent on a bike, however if you can do CBT in one day, may as well do that while i'm there. Cheers.

Are you shooting 'The Great Escape' remake?

No, think I'd need more than a cbt for that!

 

[Easy 10]

Are they doing a British version of CHiPs ? Are you the new PONCH ?

Good luck with it once you get the bug you will wonder why you never did it before.

You haven't got to get a race machine to enjoy it either i have one of these babies.

You have to take and pass the CBT to get on the road (legally).

True but get one anyway and its even more fun!

I have to disagree you can't go through the woods with a race bike.

Been trying to figure out what that bike is?

Great Woose. I took the stabilisers off my bike when I was three.

Just sussed its an XT500 (late 70's model?). Always did fancy one of those, and a shame they dont make em any more.
