Had my first 'Big Bike' lesson today!

Post by PaulW »

Had my 2nd DAS Lesson, first time on a 500cc, and OH MY GOD!!

Really can't explain how bloody awesome it felt! The bike was still a little too small for me I felt, and got cramp in my thigh muscles a few times due to my legs being bent back further than I'm used too, but it certainly felt a million times better than riding the 125! It actually felt lighter when riding at speed compared to the 125, but certainly noticed the difference in weight when doing the bay parking bit on the CBT course before we set out!

Not sure if I broke it too... the Oil and Coolant warning lights were flickering half way through, and on constantly on the run back to the instructors centre :oops:

So yeah, part 1 test on Wednesday morning now! Fingers crossed!!

And as long as I pass this one (which my instructors said I should do fine with), then have my 2nd 'On-Road' test on the 4th of June...

As Penfold would say to DM... Cripes!!!

did my CBT on a 125 ybr last year. was great fun, so much better than driving a car. think im deffinatly going to get a bike eventually. only 17 so only allowed a 125. do you know if its legal to buy a bigger bike like a 250 and then put a restrictor on it to limit it. would that be legal lol. dont wanna have to buy a 125 and then another bike after :meh:
