Well, if you have MSN I am sure you know by now im doing my Compulsory Basic Training on Saturday! If you dont then im telling you now 
For those who dont know, the Compulsory Basic Training, is a 1 day training session on a motorbike which will, when passed, give you entitlement to ride a motorbike of up to 125cc on public roads for 2 years. The day starts at 10am and finishes at 5pm, for £95, that includes equipment and bike hire.
I have never ridden a motorbike so its gonna be a tough start to the day, but hopefully it should be good and fingers crossed I will be passed
.
Really looking forward to it though, dont know the roads where im doing it (Slough) but I think thats a mental benefit. I plan on doing my full bike test within 6 months of passing my CBT so I can progress onto something bigger than a 125 but lets get the CBT out of the way and get myself a 125, hopefully a Honda CG.
EDIT:
I have passed my CBT! The day went very well, and although riding on the roads was nerve racking at first I quickly grew to love it, nothing like the feeling of doing 60 with the wind in your face, no traffic and the sound of your motorbike. speaking of which, it was one of these: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HONDA-CG-125-...oryZ9806QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Very nice ride and pretty nice acceleration.
So now I just need to purchase a bike and im off
