Just introducing myself... My names Jim, I'm 26 and I live in Derby. Decided randomly to do my CBT last month with a view to taking my full test at some point. I've bought a Gilera Runner ST 125 for the time being to get road experience under my belt. Predominantly used for the 5 mile commute to work and nipping around running errands. I'm loving the bike and I literally find any excuse to ride it.
Nice to meet you Jim. I'm wanting to progress and get rid of the L Plates within the next month or so.
Never had cbt,or lessons- Straight to the test,2hrs.later an world was my oyster, That was back incidentally when they did things 'properly',not this nightmare they have now .
They seem to go round the houses a little. But I suppose they have to before we progress onto the roads. I just hope it's straight forward when I move up to Mod1 and Mod2.
Provisional's were essentially indefinate back then, you sent off for it in the post,got it about a week or so later an then you were legally otr,subject to t+t.insurance., taught yourself how to ride,or family members advised (mine was 60+ yr old Grandad,once i'd managed to prise him off the bike.!.)., Did 4 yrs on my provisional before I took my test.
