CBT done :D

[Rexy]

wooo :D proper chuffed, i know its only BASIC stuff, but considering the only time ive ever been on a bike was on daves little chicken chaser across a tiny carpark :D

I've just got back and my god what an experience yeah it was only a little 125cc Geared bike thing which only did 60 but meh... it felt awesome, miles more feeling etc than a car. im sticking with the DAS route and getting a 600cc CBR as even on my CBT the little 125 was just urm slow.

I soooooo cant wait now, but i need to boook my theory test now and then onto the DAS :D

[bmw156]

i remember doing my CBT and it is an immense feeling the first time you ride a bike,

the CBR's are rapid, take it easy lol.

there is alot more feeling, alot more of a sense of speed. and just alot more going on.

im holding back alot to not buy another bike.

must resist.

[Rickardo]

I've posted on your fb page.. Any advice you need just give me a shout.

Get a aprillia RS 125 the older model...
They are very quick

[Rickardo]

Gaz, my first bike was a Gsxr 750..

I was on it 10 minutes after passing my test.. Awesome.

Any 600cc bike will be a good bike.

Before you go and spunk shed loads of cash on one. Just think about how often your going to use it.

No good having £3-4K of bike lying about doing nothing.

Mine was my only form of transport, so i got the usage out of it.

[craig green]

CBT is that cock & ball torture?

[edit] btw when it comes to bikes I'd have a retro yamaha TZR or RD. YPVS just kicked in Y0.

[Spudly]

Oh god i soooo wanted a TZR or RD, we used to call them LC's round here (RD125LC) they were silly fast, especially when played with as umm, one or two fo them were lol

[MattBrown]

Kinda agree, not on the quickness, or reliability though lol.

Rebuilt 5+ of them, ****ty rotax pices of poolol

[Annie]

well done :)

I have my cbt on friday, Just bought a peugeot v-clic 50cc (35mph) for work lol

[Rickardo]

Annie, do you have your car licence??

[brainsnova]

the cbt was £80 when i was a boy, how much is it now?

[Rexy]

Spud, i can ride a Geared 125 lol not just a ped... :P

Loads of people keep saying ouhhhh your gona kill yourself if your first bike is a 600cc...

Its how you ride it, I know it may have the power etc but at first i want to get used to a big bike so i will gradually open it up more and more as i feel more confident.

Im not that nutty, I've had the "safety" side of things drummed into my head lol and driving cars for the last 10 years has given me some good road sense :D

I need to stop covering my brake as I would do on the MTB lol, I got shouted at loads for that, i kept putting three fingers on the brake leaver and leaving one wrapped around the throttle.

Oh and cheers Rick, No doubt i'll be asking for Proper Riding advice once passed. I cant wait to book my first track day on the thing... :thumb:

[Rexy]

£80 Brian.

[brainsnova]

cool i might do mine and get my vespa on the road.

[Fester]

Do a wheelie and post pics

[Graeme]

Oh god i soooo wanted a TZR or RD, we used to call them LC's round here (RD125LC) they were silly fast, especially when played with as umm, one or two fo them were lol

Serious cult following for them now my mate has spent a fortune on his

[NathanPrince]

My brother has an original Bellgarda import TZR125 (malboro edition) stupidly quick and a very nice looking bike

[Annie]

Annie, do you have your car licence??

yep 4years now.

[grooge]

well done mate, need to get round to doin this sometime.
just got maself a kmx200 for some offroad after getting jealous of my mate riding about on my old dt125. thing feels like an animal offroad but then again i've not ridden all winter n a only had the 125 last year.
is it just me that thinks bikes feel really slow on the road?? 30mph feels as if you're going at walking pace?? maybe because I'm used to riding offroad?

[craig green]

£80 isnt bad. I must do my CBT really. My Dad is a complete biker nutt.
If I was into bikes I would get so much help & probably free loans off him bor bike related stuff. When it comes to cars he doesnt get them at all.

I so want an RD 350LC to restore. Keep googling them & looking at them on the bay, typical that they cost fook loads now.

[Riggy]

Nice one mate , still cant imagine you on a bike though , but the skin tight leather is another thing x x x

[Danny s-p]

Lmfao youre now qualified to ride a ped with L plates, what a guy loli wood wear l plates any day to ride one these all day.

biker boi off hear had one. when i did my cbt he let me cruse around on it one night and it had a tigra 1.4 pan's down from a standing start . it was way faster than my baby blade (cbr 125 replica ) . and i think if you really tride it wood get a xe nova off the line. well class bike for a 125

[Rexy]

Ive been offered on of them, 2007 plate from a mate, but i dont want it... Im heading for a CBR 600 doing my DAS as soon as poss.

Theory test has been booked for 26th may :D pass that and onto my DAS

[Spudly]

baby blade (cbr 125 replica )




Pft, thats not a baby blade, thats just a ped, a baby blade is a CBR 400 :p

[Danny s-p]

Pft, thats not a baby blade, thats just a ped, a baby blade is a CBR 400 :pthat wat my tutor called it and he really in to bikes. and it not a ped it had gear's :p

[Spudly]

Mate most of my mates ride bikes and a lot of them refer to them as peds haha, even an R1 is a 'ped' due to this lol


Trust me a CBR 400 is a baby blade, a 125 is a raleigh shopper in comparison :p

[Asa-James]

can see you covering brakes here...
http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k155/asa_037/png/IMGP2729.jpg

iirc you were only in 1st...

[NovaLad]

Where are the stabilizers lol

[Danny s-p]

look how small the front drum brake is

[Rexy]

Lmfbo, Old moutain biker... covering the brakes is force of habit on anything with two wheels lol.

[sulphur]

What you using to revise rexy? Lookin' to get mine done soon.

Where you goin' for your DAS?

[Rexy]

I did my CBT with a couple of old dogs up at horwich, they will be doing my DAS as well.

I've got the highway code book and a copy of "how to ride" by the DSA.

Tells you about well everything really, driving for ten years gives you a good idea on certain things as well. If i fail i will really have to laugh at myself.

http://www.mercurymotorcycletraining.co.uk/html/home.htm

[sulphur]

Ah you using mercury? How much they doing the DAS for?

Edit: Just looked at prices, how many days you doing?

[Rexy]

the guy said I'd do it in three days, i think IIRC he said £425 with tests included.

[Rexy]

Get it done lad, Can get out on'th bikes then :D

[sulphur]

West pennine are cheaper pal. £399 for 3days, including test fees and CBT(although you've done that, might be even cheaper..)

Got a wedding to pay for first pal, but me and a few lads are aiming to each get it done. Can't wait tbh!

[Rexy]

TBH they may be cheaper, but ive got a bit of a rappal with them now. they are pretty good and gave me confidence in myself with the riding etc.
