I PASSED MY CBT! WOO!

Recommended Posts

To be fair guys, calling Magnus perverted is a bit hypocritical. After all, it's your sick country that requires any bike or moped riders to go through CBT before getting on the road o_O

Has anyone ever told you that you look like Michael Underwood?

This guy!

Congrats on the CBT thought!

 

Michael Underwood? HAAAA! Never had that before in my life. To be fair, that's the first person that someone's compared me to that I can see a tiny bit of resemblance. A girl once told me I looked like one of the guys from JLS. Didn't know whether to take it as an insult or not but I think I look nothing like him whatsoever...

The one on the far right. I look nothing like him though, she needs to go to Specsavers because I'm CLEARLY better-looking! haha.

 

Well that makes sense haha

 

Right, I may miss something out but this should be most everything.

 

Module 1 -

 

Get on bike, don't hit cones. (or put you're feet down while moving I guess, or drop the bike or etc :p)

 

First things first is walking the bike out of a parking bay and into another/ This can be surprising difficult if you park in the wrong bay and have to compete with the bike trying to fall away from you while turning. Also, if you kick a cone here you're out which catches some people out.

 

Then onto the slow speed manouevers. Which iirc, includes slalom directly into figure of 8. u-turn. slow speed ride. coming to a stop (even though this is possibly the simplest thing I nearly failed here because I over thought [ieverything[/i] and put my foot down slightly too early).

 

Then there is the two highspeed manouevers. Both start off by accelerating through the curve then really gun it just before straightening out. You need to be at 60km/h I think it was, and on a 125cc it can be hard accelerating to the right speed in the distance they give (obv if you do direct access and are doing this on a 500 reaching the required speed shouldn't be a problem).

 

Emergency Stop - guy puts his hand up you emergency stop. If you stall it doesn't matter just remember your mirror checks. for emergency stopping you want to mostly use your front brake for obvious reasons and just a little bit of back brake to squat the bike down.

 

Avoidance - You come out of the curve and then through a set of cones which look like this

......:

:...........:

 

e: hmm the formatting for this isn't showing up in the post :(

e:ignore the dots and pretend the semi colons are the cones

 

but not as exaggerated, when first trying this he cones look silly distance apart and you wonder how the hell are you meant to do this omg I'm gonna die. But you have to realise it's like 75cm and with countersteering this is eaaasy. Just don't target fixate on a cone and you'll be fine.

 

 

After this the guy will let you out of the compund and as long as you don't hit any cones on your way out you'll have passed. (I'll write what I remember of module 2 out after breakfast :) )

 

 

well shit, looks what I found

This is the right hand circuit for module 1. It seems apart from the order the only thing I forgot to mention was that you get two tries at the high speed manouevers to reach the correct speed.

 

Thanks for this! I have to be honest, I struggle trying to find the stand for the bike when I'm ON the bike. The bloke told me I had to get the footstand out whilst sitting on the bike, I sat there for a minute or so trying to find the damn thing!

 

Ride around in a circle without your feet touching the floor. Seriously.

 

Really? Is that it? Bloody hell' date=' where do you live? I'm coming over and doing my test there! What about driving a car? Just start the engine and hey presto, you have a driving license?

 

Magnus, obviously.

 

The guy who took me for mine once told me that he failed sombody because he told them to turn right at the roundabout, so they did, turn right, onto the roundabout.

 

LOOOOOL! No way! You must have laughed at that! I was nervous at the start because it was my first time on the road on a motorbike and I almost hit the curb through being nervous. However, luckily enough, I straightened myself up and just carried on, hoping he didn't see it, lmao.

 

That fact that I didn't know this makes me realise how perverted you are.

 

Congratulations Dazzmachine.

 

Wait, you didn't know what that meant either?.....but....it's you, ReZ.....:confused:

 

To be fair guys, calling Magnus perverted is a bit hypocritical. After all, it's your sick country that requires any bike or moped riders to go through CBT before getting on the road o_O

 

To be fair, if you were there when the other guy almost went into a Land Rover, you'll know why we have CBTs, hahaha. He should have been staying in the playground longer. The thing is, though, we did brilliantly at that. Both of us got the hang of it very fast. On the road, at first, I was very nervous but after a few minutes, I was okay. Seems like he wasn't.

 

I felt bad for the guy though. The examiner told us together and told me I passed and said to him "I think you know your verdict, right?" and he laughed and said "Yeah" and he turned to me, shook my hand and congratulated me and I felt bad for the guy. I said "Thanks" and I apologised and told him he'll nail the test next time.

 

All I need to do now is find a motorbike theory test book and CD-ROM and get practising!

Well, at least the other guy was a good sport about almost killing himself (and the instructor?).

Or it's proof of how innocent you are!

 

You're as pure as the driven snow. Smitten.gif

Nah, it was just him. I sat there staring at him in literal horror...like, I'm not joking, I thought he was going to get squashed and I'd have to watch it but luckily enough, he didn't and even more luckier (and this will sound messed up), the Land Rover never beeped his horn! Whenever horns were beeping, I noticed that the dude wobbled a little so I don't know whether that was nerves or not. Felt bad for him though.

 

Also ReZ...innocent?....do me a favour!...but then again, he didn't know that whole CBT thing. ReZ, your standards are rising, this can't happen! :p

Direct.gov.uk:

 

All learner motorcycle and moped riders must complete a compulsory basic training course (CBT, short for cock and ball torture) before riding on the road.

(I'll write what I remember of module 2 out after breakfast :) )

 

Right breakfast finished.

 

Module 2 was just a ~45min road ride (which includes town riding, b-roads and dual carriageways maybe?) most of which you get 'take the next left', 'turn right at the junction' etc in your ear. But for ~10mins of it, you'll be told follow the signs to town centre say, and you have to show you can read road signs while not falling over or something. Just ride like you've been instructed and you should be fine. I failed my first attempt for a silly mistake, but I think in general they're fairly relaxed.
