well im just being honest and its only my story… 😉
18 months before my daughter was born we needed to save cash so we sold the second car, i bought a 125 and did my CBT so i could commute to work.
i did it up until a week before the baby was born and to be honest i was glad to sell the bike and see the back of the thing.
you are invisible, you can be the biggest and best rider in the world with all the right gear, perfect working bike but it means jack sh*t when some idiot doesnt see you and well, the rest could be history.
my brother only last week ended up in intensive care, a seasoned rider out on a sunday blast, came off a main rondabout, round a bend and was faced with a car on the wrong side of the road after it swerved out too far after doing a u-turn.
8 broken ribs, collapsed lung, broken wrist and collar bone…
the CBT was a joke to be honest, i was crap at the u-turn a sod to get right, they made me come back a week later and i passed. looking back it is mental you can just have 8 hours of training then be let out onto the roads.
again just my thoughts…. not to put you off or wind up any biker son here 😉
just read the othe rpost above
However, I’ve been know to invite people back for additional training before signing them off
to be fair my instructor did this and he did make sure i wasnt a total kn*B
