I've been riding for just over 3 years now.
Did my CBT and full licence at Kent Motorcycles training school at Manston.
CBT on a Honda CG125, I failed my first CBT, paniced at a junction, got my feet and hands all mixed up, cangerooed across the road, luckily up a dirt track and fell off, ripped my brand new bike trousers and jacket and felt a proper tit, thinking, F8ck me, I've just failed a CBT, the same test all those little scrotes on mopeds pass!
Almost gave up there and there, I was so fearful that every journey would be filled with danger and near misses.
Got back on the bike the next day and did my CBT in torrential rain and passed. Immediatly bought a CBF125 and spent the next year commuting the 17 miles to work, day in day out.
A year later took my Mod 1, failed it the first time, got a bit worried about the speed trap, gave it a handfull and went through the trap at 38 mph, clipped a cone with my left foot....gutted, if I hadn't have been riding "duck feet" I would have missed it and passed!
Took my 2nd Mod one (balls of feet firmly on the footpegs this time) and passed, no minors.
Couple of weeks later I took my Mod 2 and passed without a single minor
oooo get me!
Bought my FZS 600 about 2 weeks later and 2 years on I'm LOVING it!
