Congratulations mate! - one bit of advice I got when I passed “ride your own ride”. Don’t get sucked into trying to keep up with people etc.. that’s how you land in the shit. Enjoy!!

@@stichupmanGeez I’m sorry that’s awful, that must of gutted your Uncle.

I have been riding for 53 years now and the one thing I have learned and would pass on to any new rider is. "When you get on your bike think that you are invisible to other road users" They will kill you and say "I didn't see him"

Thank you. I'm 70 and tomorrow I do my CBT closely followed like yourself by a Direct Access course. Sod the cost, whats the point when you're retired in sitting in a high backed chair listening to Classic FM. I want to meet my maker while hurtling down a German Autobahn or while driving down to the sunshine in the South of France. This video made me feel really good about it all, you were so upbeat and positive. People tell me that I'm not young anymore and its too dangerous. Sod them. Thank you again.

Did the CBT. No problems but I think its best to get fit if you are to follow up with a DAS course. I had serious cramp halfway through and the following day I could hardly walk. It doesn't help if you have heart failure and other co-morbidities. Next is DAS after I get a fitter, should take a few weeks.. My goal is to hurtle down to South of France, or Spain, or Germany. And if I don't make the return journey I'll be happy.

Enjoyed that pal, I’ve had my full license nearly 2 years now and I’m 39 this year. Everyone said I was stupid for doing it late but you’re never too old! I’ve almost lost interest in cars now, I’ve got a 500bhp S4 that I thought was fast, until I got my Tuono 1100 V4 factory 😬 Once your on a big superbike it’s like nothing you’ll have ever experienced on 4 wheels!

Whoever called you "stupid" for wanting to get your motorbike licence, they are the stupid ones (probably jealous too). Btw 39 is NOT old.

I did mine 2yr ago at 44. After years of jet ski's. CBT, theory, training, MOD1 MOD 2 in 27 days from start to finish ha. Bought a GSXR1000. Best thing ive ever done. Best of luck to you 👍. Ive now moved onto a ZX-10R. Just respect what you ride and ride your own ride and you will be fine.

You have really caught the essence of being a biker. Although the riding in itself is great, the biker community is the best. Welcome brother.

My motocross mad 13yr old godson persuaded me to get my first bike at 68. Rode the 125 for a few months then took my full test and passed first time. I was given a sign that says "if you've never owned one, youll never understand " and I think that sums it up completely. Love my 790 duke !

Congratulations buddy. Welcome to the world of two wheels. I did my test when I was 34. I'm 54 now and still love biking. Ride safe. 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Congratulations Lee 🎊 👏 looking forward to seeing more bike content.

Congratulations Lee, t's such a good feeling, i advise anyone to take there bike test , took mine two years ago it's the best thing I have ever done .

Well done bro! I started mine, but after passing the theory and completing the cbt, I got t-boned whilst driving and couldn't physically ride or manoeuvre the bike without being in pain to continue. Thankfully, that's healed now after a few years, but I need to start all over again. Although I've just started my adi tests to become a driving instructor, and after being made redundant, I think I'll complete my direct access soon. After having some free time.. Love the videos man and can't wait to see more. I'm glad you're mixing the car and bike content together.

Congratulations! I've been on bikes all my life, passed my road test 8 years ago and have stopped road riding now and stick to tracks. Be careful, don't feel pressured into pushing beyond your limits, and always remember that first feeling of proper speed you had! Although you may get used to it, the implications don't change! Please be careful lad, been a long-term viewer, but dont often comment. Watch out for plod and dash cams! Enjoy and I look forward to the upcoming videos 😊

Congratulations! Its nice ride a big bike on the road. Definitely a great community. Passed my test 33 years ago and it was a practical only then. Rode for 3 years and life happened. Got a new bike March 1st and loving the rides and the nods from people i will never know but the mutual respect is great. Glad you joined the club. Enjoy and stay safe.

Congratulations, you won’t regret doing it, worth every penny! Ride safe!! 🎉👍👌

Congratulations lee can't wait for more video of you out on the bike

Yeah boy! Congratulations mate, there's nothing like the feeling of having a bike, you can't explain it you just gotta do it get your licence and experience it to know.

Nice one enjoy your newfound freedom on two wheels you’ll love it Ride and stay safe my friend 👍

🎉🎉 well done look forward for some bike videos

Superb, congratulations. Myself and my brother are gonna go and do our bike licence together. Can't wait, your enthusiasm is contagious. Some lad, on yerself.

I was knocked off my bike a couple of years ago by a careless car driver. I was quite seriously injured with several broken bones. It was near a well known bikers spot so many bikers rode past while I waited for an ambulance. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM stopped to see if I was OK. It really helped keep my spirits up. It's like a family.

That’s brilliant , well done m8 Been riding bikes for 30 yrs and still love it , European adventures , track days , Bsb camping race weekends have fun stay safe 👍👍

Great video! Something I’ve wanted to see for ages - the process of getting a full licence. Thanks 👍🏻

fair play man! I decided I wanted to get onto a big bike back in 2022, did my theory, cbt and mod 1, but being an idiot, I took the bike out for a ride and crashed, never booked my mod 2 in the end, but I plan on doing it this year, it's a must 😅 can't go another summer without being on 2 wheels, congratulations btw

Congrats Lee! I unfortunately did 2 CBTS and 6 tests like you mentioned(A1, A2 & A). Cost a small fortune because I was too impatient to wait till I was 24 🤣

Congratulations to you and welcome to the club, stay safe and enjoy the ride oh yeah and remember that every day you get home is another day you can ride 👍🏻😉

Well done Lee, also one off your best videos yet.

brilliant m8 always looking forward to getting my bikes out😊

Thanks for this video Lee. Have been thinking about doing this for years and lately been really tempted to just go and do it. Nice to see the steps and that it seems fun and enjoyable rather then a torture ride. Also congratulations to you. 🎉🎉

Buzzing for you mate! You will never look back!!! 🏍

this was great to watch.. doing this all soon and was fantastic watching the process. well done dude

So happy for you lee. Riding a bike is the best feeling everrrrrrrr

Well done mate welcome to the club 🎉 The feeling of freedom and exhilaration you get from bikes is super addictive. When the weathers good, you’re on a good bike on a nice road it’s just epic. Oh and get yourself to the IOM TT 💨

Well done mate. Best of both worlds now. Enjoy and be safe.

Ride safe Lee. An congratulations 🙌🏻

Fantastic to see it back on the road :) congratulations on the test.

First video I've come across on your channel Lee! Congratulations on the pass and welcome to the community! Stay stay on the roads - Keep revvin' hustler 💎🏆

Super happy for you.. Congratulations

Congratulations Lee 🎊 🎉

Loved this video, done my cbt last week and got my theory and mod 1 for a couple of weeks. Cant wait to be on 2 wheels properly 👍🏻

Well done look to see the next video

Go on Lee! Well done mate! I've been riding bikes since I was 5 (31 now) but have just started circuit racing, I really recommend you do some track days to help you get used to your bike

congrats lad! its so daunting doing the test but once your on the road the relief youll feel is amazing not only for the reasons you stated but power of bikes compared to cars obviously ride your own ride dont compete but as a petrolhead who dont love the twist of a throttle! this isnt your normal but could be added to the repertoire but maybe do a few MotoVlogs just riding about talking through ideas and plans while also enjoying the bike and giving us something to look and listen to as you voice your ideas. regardless mate buzzing for you and would be happy if i catch you on a ride when i go between lowestoft and london

Awesome Lee lad, I did my bike theory 2 months ago, need to get my arse into gear and book cbt / rest of my test. Enjoy and stay safe 😎

Well done mate, I did mine 26 years ago and still love riding and building bikes, I started racing 4 years ago and love every minute

Great video, I looking to do my bike license soon and found this video really helpful, understanding the process. Safe riding.

Congratulations, Mate on your hard work well done

Congratulations bro , getting your full bike license . Welcome to the biking community , and happy biking 🤟🤟👍

Mad happy for u Lee!!! Another biker on the road is always a win. If you are ever up in Scotland on the bike gimme a shout

Congrats Lee can’t wait for some sick 2 wheel content 🙌

great news for you god look on your adventures mate

Yes lad congrats. Welcome to the bike life. I passed my bike test back in 2012 before I did my car test. Love it. Enjoy it be safe. I'll be waiting for the wheelie videos 😭🤣💪🏻💪🏻

Congrats Lee! Enjoy the bike, ZX6R's are pure fun

Congrats! 🎉 Ride safe!!

Congratulations mate welcome to the best thing ever . Enjoy and keep nodding and ride your own ride . 👍👍

Congrats mate. I really enjoyed watching your experience from start to finish. Mine was very similar but something called Covid came along between my Theory Test and Mod 1 and again between Mod 1 and Mod 2 so I took a bit longer!

just say where and when i will be there and welcome to the club pal you will have a hole new outlook on life riding bikes stay safe keep shinny side up

Awesome! Thanks for sharing your journey! I have my mod1 next week, and then the mod2 the week after - I hope I pass, riding is so much fun

Congratulations Lee plz stay safe 🙏 💙

Your a legend Lee, well in!!

Great video! I did mine last year, same situation as you, having never ridden. Best thing I ever did!

Fantastic video mate and congrats. Can't wait for mine! You did it well fast, I've always heard it takes months but it's good to know if I really paied myself I could get it done just as quick too

Mate, I loved this video. It was like taking my test all over again. 👍

Well done Lee, i passed my direct access back in 2005 & i remember my biggest fear was the U Turn. Even on the hour practice before test i would get one right, then put my foot down on the next one. Luckily i did it ok on test & passed first time 😊. I don't ride that often, & only on my third bike. Started with a 1996 Kawasaki ZX-6R, then had a Kawasaki ZX-7R for 15yrs, & now have a 2017 Triumph Daytona 675.

Well Done Lee! Enjoy, Ride safe!!

Congratulations Lee you deserve passing your bike licence proud of you

So happy to see you're having fun with 2 wheels! Couldn't click fast enough to view these videos! Brilliant! Be safe out there dude, wear proper gear. Get a proper suit when you can. Do a track day with MSV and/or go Mallory and be instructed by Taylor Mackenzie. Go Portugal with James Hillier! You'll learn so much! No matter how safe you are you can't plan for negligence of others. I know this all too well and had a lovely helicopter ride to a polytrauma Hospital and had a lengthy stay with an even longer recovery. Still riding and love every second of it! Meet some characters and have some great times!

Mate honestly well done! Great yo see mpre people doing there motorbike license

Fellow biker now Lee 🤟be safe out there man 🤙

Good on you bruv. Passing my test was the best decision I've ever made. It's great we have a new member in our community. Ride safe and I may see you on the roads.

I loved taking my L plates off before riding home. I did the cbt on my own bike and the full licence on my own bike so that saved me some money. For the cbt my dad rode the bike there and mum dropped me off in the car.

Congrats mate, more of a car guy myself but absolutely enjoyed the video and can’t wait to see more bike content now. Think your converting me lol 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Hey Lee, we did this about the same time! Did mine in Northampton after putting it off for 25 years! I passed too, did the CBT and DAS with Karmenz in Northampton and likewise they were nothing but helpful and informative, so if anyone is in my area, they are a great place to go. Am enjoying getting out and about, I went the Cruiser route with a 20 year old XVS-650. My partner was eager to jump on the back so we have been doing some very short trips with her on the back too, slowly building up ready to do something longer in the summer 😀 Look forward to seeing you out and about 😀

Congratulations buddy, I did my das with probike many years ago, they used to be in Billericay too but then they moved to Chelmsford, I don’t think bikes in motion were around when I did mine but being from the area I always see them around.

Nice one mate , maybe a bike meet and cruise somewhere with nice roads

Congratulations 🥳 brother 🎉🎉 welcome to the family Iv just purchased a brand-new bike 🏍️ it’s time to start enjoying life as much as we can, life is to short ❤ wish you all the best.

Well done 🤙🏼been on a bike is on an other level

Nice one. I had CBT's for 10 years before I finally did my tests in 2021. Its nice and simple really and then did my driving test last year and had a biker as my car tester so I think he went easy on me. I've stick with my trusty 125 until this week when I've gone and got a VFR1200. Glad to see you feel the biker community is more inclusive than the car guys because its something we don't talk about and most people don't realise until they get a bike 125's or big boy bikes you become part of a family (except maybe a few Harley and BMW riders that think there better than you still).

Congratulations Lee I done my training with bikes in motion back in 2011 brilliant training school Dave and Tracy the owners 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Funny thing with the insurance. I rode a 125cc scooter for two years on my CBT. Then I did my A. I didn't actually consider riding a big bike. I just didn't see the point of doing my A1, so I did my A. The moment plans changed was when I started practicing for the hazard avoidance. The moment I opened the throttle on the ER6, I was hooked. There is nothing like that feeling. So I passed my A and bought an 89 GPX750R. I thought the insurance would cost a fortune. I was advised to go for multi bike insurance as I still use the scooter as my commuter. Stuck the GPX on third party, my insurance got cheaper! It was cheaper to insure two than one. 🤷

Its crazy how long Ive been watching ive been watching for roughly 6yrs when you was working on the renault megane

This was a amazing video and clear explanation, I had a 125cc when I was 17 but wasn’t overly confident so a year later I ended up selling it and going down the car route which I was way more confident with but ever since building my confidence with my car which I’ve had for 2 years now I want to go for bikes again but I’m only 21 so I’m restricted by age on the big bikes which really sucks! Cause the age bit is always confusing to me.

been contemplating doing my CBT for a few months now.. this is defo a sign to fucking do it! congrats mate

Congrats! Finally a KZreadr who does cars and bikes!

Somthing I’ve always thought about doing getting my bike license just never done it!! This mite of inspired me to think about it again 😂😂. Great video as always 👍🏻

Awesome mate - it doesn’t stop there, keep riding gaining more experience and look at an advance course (it may help insurance come down). I would love to watch you do the advance riding course even if it’s just to see what you think. Ride say and rubber side down.

Passed mine last year and opted for a 300cc. Fast forward a year. im on a KTM 790 duke. Next step willl be track days. Well done brother. 🍻
