Awww this was a trip down memory lane. I remember my CBT. I had never ridden a motorcycle a day in my life before my CBT. I had been driving 5 years though. Even so, I remember how much I shit myself. After a few hours of basic maneuvers in a playground (on a suzuki gn125) they put us on the road. I remember how vulnerable and how small I felt on the bike, and how crap the school helmets were. It rained and I couldn't see shit. Rode in the rain with the visor up. Even fell off the bike while doing a u-turn (the instructor was laughing her ass off over the radio). Once I got my CBT certificate I bought a decent helmet and a little while later a YZF R125 to practice on. This was 10 years ago. For those who're doing their CBT, don't worry about being nervous I know I was. Don't worry about messing up. Just enjoy it, and learn all that you can. You'll hopefully come back with a certificate and a story to tell. One last thing. At the time they did mention that the only time they didn't pass a student was because they didn't know the Highway code and were at risk to themselves on the road. So make sure you know the highway code!

Hey man, I'm due to do my CBT in the next two weeks. I'm buying my bike this Sunday and preparing. I had a 140cc pit bike however there are so many factors that are different. For example a it's a different style bike, it's small, it's not fast nor powerful really BUT what it has helped me with is my understanding of riding a bike with an engine and my basic knowledge of maintenance so that's handy however I am VERY nervous about the road laws etc and actually being on the road.its easy to drive a bike in a private field it's the road that's worrying me.

I'm 43 and I have ridden bikes since I was 19, it might be a slightly more difficult route for you if you've got your car license first, you'll fall into car driving habits if you lose concentration. Which is bad. You need a heck of a lot more concentration while riding, I've driven a car hundreds of miles in a day and been fine but a couple of hundred miles on a bike and you can be exhausted, physically and mentally. I'm not trying to put you off, i love riding, and I don't see myself stopping any time soon and the CBT isn't exactly hard so long as you can ride a bicycle, you can ride a 125cc bike. A word of caution though, yes you WILL fall off at some point and yes it WILL hurt. Again, it's not MIGHT fall off, it's WILL fall off. I've not met any biker who's never binned their bike. Now, if you still want to go for it, it's an amazing experience and it's well worth doing, just be aware it doesn't come without a price in bruises and lost skin.

I'm in the USA, so in order to ride a 125cc scooter, I have to take a knowledge test about motorcycles and pass it to obtain a motorcycle permit then take a riders course and pass it, then I'll be awarded my motorcycle license. Anything over 50cc is classified as a motorcycle in my state, so it's a requirement to do those steps. We call it Basic Rider Course(BRC) here. I'm interested in getting a scooter so I'm watching this video, I am learning alot even though the video is based in the UK.

Tdil: no you mug, you have to do it 17 yr old who thinks he’s road: “well yes but actually no”

Dont be nervous, just enjoy it and you will be fine

I was lucky that when I did my cbt about a month ago now I was the only one that showed up and passed first time because he spent more time on me

thinking of going for my CBT after watching this video. never been on a bike before but love them. would love to start going to all these bike meets and meet new people.

You have to go for it. I have only been riding for 2 years and I'm 50 now and although it's scary as hell it's also very exciting. Me and the other half go on rides together and we've had so much fun. My advice - take the bull by the horns and give the CBT a go. You've got nothing to lose and a whole lifetime of meeting new people who love riding and love to help their fellow rider. Good luck!

@@TheDonInLondon It's great to see new riders on the road. I ride a Fazer FZS600 at the moment and although I think it could be a little bit long for me, I'm loving the 'nod' bikers do to each other. Every day is a learning experience when out on the bike and I've never looked back. I will ride until my bones finally give in. Happy riding everyone!

You have a lot of experience being on the road, which will definitely help you! Nothing to be worried about, it is a fun day out. Geared bikes just take longer to get to grips with but worth doing if you want to get your full bike licence. Good luck!!!

I give my CBT and I was scared. But I aced it on the car park and on my drive the first road was 30 and I didn’t know first person pulled out and I was waiting at traffic and then when clear I flow out and race to caugh up and I was doing 50mph and then the guy doing the test shouted speed speed speed it’s 30 30 30. Slow down I look down I saw my speed and I was doing 56mph and I started to break for the speed camera. I all so kept leaving my singles on all the time after turn and I still passed. So it’s right hard to fail. I would off personally failed some one doing that but I passed lol so I’m not in the road and fully insured for once!

Thanks you buddy! I think if you pass your cbt I think you should be able to drive a quad instead of a full car license

Totally new to all of this and I've never even considered it but with starting university soon I'm thinking it would be a handy way to get there and back without having to rely on the dreaded buses. I'm 27 and already have a full UK car licence so have previously been on roads and stuff. I'm nervous about dealing with traffic and possibly falling off. I'm quite a nervous person (especially with new things) but I like to be careful and cautious. Does anyone know if riding would be for me? Also can anyone recommend any good UK-based sites that will help me read up on things like road etiquette for bikes/scooters and things to be aware of?

No one will really be able to tell you if riding is for you. Doing the CBT will be a good start to see if you enjoy it or not. To begin with I was nervous and for the first week of riding, I struggled as many do. Having said this it is a great way to get around. Watch my other videos, check the playlists to look for the specific videos to help. Good luck and keep me posted how you get on!

I love cycling but today I booked my Cbt for next month at the ripe old age of 52. I want to enjoy motorbike on an automatic. Which would you all recommend for my 1st scooter? Very nervous for the test so please wish me luck. Thank you all and great vlog to calm the nerves a bit.

Sweet! You will be fine the day is a lot of fun. I would recommend getting a 125 or something like the honda vision 110 like they were riding in this video. They are all very similar and not enough difference other than looks really. Good luck! Let me know how you get on and welcome to the channel!

Hey there, great video. If you've not had a driving licence or taken any sort of tests before, can you still ride on the road without taking a theory test having only passed CBT?

I'm gonna have to do mine again next year in march......hopefully I'll ace it fast after 2 years riding. And I'll be able to use my own bike this time which I've gotten so comfortable riding it should be such a piece of piss

AYE MAKE SURE YOU DON'T DIE

I would say at 17yrs get a 125cc and do test for A1 so you don't have to repeat CBT. Wait until your 24yrs and do Direct Access A License. But 7yrs is a long time to wait, I'd probably do my A2 at 19yrs with restricted power 46.6 bhp for 5yrs and then do my A License. I think that is probably the best route, you'd have a powerful bike, but lacking at top end, with loads of bottom end. It's not really about how fast you can go, but more about how fast you can get there. But I totally agree with what you say.

@@TheDonInLondon If you want it that much you will do it. I'd always wanted a full bike license for years. I hated the fact of only riding a poxy 125cc with L plates at my age. I done my direct access A License at 51yrs old, best thing I'd ever done. My only regret is that I'd wish I'd done it a lot earlier in life, but I got it in the end. I'll be 60yrs old in a few weeks, but I still have that buzz for a bit of speed and excitement. Just want to say your never too old while you have breath in your body.

Totes agree, I had my manual driving license and was cycling in London for 4+ years before I did my CBT without the experience I think it would've taken a lot more fails before getting my license. Shoulder checks was already second nature to me from cycling. My mate took his CBT 3 weeks ago he only has his auto driving license and was baffled by the manual controls, he ended up not getting the certificate.
