I did mine a few years back mate its common sense, as long as youre not a plum you aint got a problem, its not a pass/fail thing anyways and if you dont manage it they bring you back and let you do it again (usually)

You'll be fine dave!
Its a piece of pish!
The 2 parts are off road, as in on the car park, then on the road for an hour ride!
Just need to learn signs and stopping distances!
Also, DO NOT BUY A SCOOTER THERE FOR GAY BOYS:thumb:
I did mine many years ago.
My bike broke down and i finished the rest of the day on the back of the instructers bike.
I still passed.
done mine about 6months ago was good fun, they say random stuff down the earphone, like ohh watch out for this tw*t in the audi hes going to pull out infront of you and that, but yeah really easy i slipped on gravel when doing my emergency brake, and he only said dont brake that hard next time

^TS50? lol you say its not resticted..whats it had done? CBT is a piece of piss. Its almost like cycling proficiency, but for scooters. Its not a pass or fail thing. Good luck with it.

illegal then ? :wtf:
illegal then ? :wtf:
no :p
the only reason its been bored out is because when the bikes are 50cc, the pulling off speed is utter appauling, probabley be considered dangerous, wouldnt like to be on a roundabout and pull off thats all id say
only bored otu so it pulls off from a stop quicker, wont be going faster on it than its meant to, not going to risk my licence :thumb:

i would seriously rather run the risk of getting caught than run the risk of being killed because its too slow
the amount of teenagers out there with de-restricted 50cc bikes is unbelievable, stop victimising me bax lol

As an ex motorcycle instructor, all you have to do is listen,try and do what is asked of you, and you'll be fine. There is NO such thing as failing a C.B.T..But, if the instructor think's you need to come back for more instruction, you won't be getting your ticket there and then. It's usually free to come back and do it again.. All school's are different..
I had to teach plenty of Plank's to ride a bike.. If they got on my T*T's. i just brought them back the week after for annoying me.. lol
Good Luck.. You'll enjoy it...:thumb:

If they teach you right, you will do LOAD'S of lifesaver's on site.. IE: School Yard, where ever they are teaching you..
So when you get out on the road you should be doing them as well. Alot of people do them but at the wrong time's.. No good doing a lifesaver when your approaching a roundabout, i'd be more concerned about what is in front of me, not what is behind me..
The instructor won't fail you for not doing them, if it was me i would be telling you when and where to do them.
Usually you follow the instructor when you first go out for your 2 Hour ride, so when they do it, you do it as well. You'll get the idea when to do them and when not to do them..
I know the word "Lifesaver" sound's a bit Ghey.. But it will do exactly what it say's on the tin.. Save your Life.. :thumb:
