CBT - and why you should do it over a normal licence test

[GTRMAN]

Too many posts to quote them all.

This training should be mandatory, but shouldn't shorten the licence restriction times.

Yes, I am better than average with bike control and understanding of road rules. Happy to prove it, be that egotistical or not.

Fancy coming on an assessment and put your money where your mouth is?

It's ok Drew - I think you can leave the ruler at home for this one.

Sure, except the money part.

The only problem is, most people think that. Mathematically, it's not possible.

Whether or not you are (theoretical you), only someone qualified could comment. However, as long as anyone goes into training with an open mind and receptive to feedback, then it's all good.

I don't disagree with that. Was just tagging it onto my post, because someone said it was a common opinion of bikers who aren't right.

No charge, is a free assessment.

Cool. Where and when?

Actually, I might as well pay and graduate to my full licence at the same time.

Sounds like a great idea

What CBT (Cock n Ball Torture)

has to do with riding a motorcycle??


Or is that when you either brake too hard, or crash on a sprotbike and crush the jewels against the fuel tank?

great to see yet another thread that started out being quite good being turned into a pissing contest
KB living up to its rep again

I think the standard license system is stupid
ride around a carpark then get yourself a up to 600cc bike & go for it so long as you have the magic L plate on
no training required
awsum

much better to have some sort of training involved

I left behind my tester noob with clipboard when going from R to F, cracked me up, just heard "return to base" in ear as he got caught in traffic. lol

Just a point of Clarification - you don't get to ride a full power 600 CC bike, its up to 650cc, but they have to meet a power to weight ratio - I have ridden a couple of LAMS bikes, and although spritelier than my 250 - the limiter kicks in at that point when you just start to really have fun (and possibly twat yourself)

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.

Seriously.

Cock and Ball Torture

Woo relevance! (Also, no need to go into exactly how or why I know that... )

BUMP

So an update on this - went for the CBT2 today, again riding with Dawn at Rider Training - My riding was much improved and although the weather was meh, was still a good ride.

Once again - Highly highly recommend Dawn and Rider Training as an option for doing your CBT with.

Now all I gotta do is wait till April to apply for my Full licence - then its Thou time

It will piss a lot of people off if they do though as most people think they're crash hot and won't pay for training to make themselves better.

Like Cassina maybe?
