    Seriously, to anyone worried about their cbt, as long as your head is screwed on and you know your road rules ect, you won't have a problem, the instructors won't put you up to anything you can't do, if you're unsure about anything just ask, don't forget they are riders too, they want you to pass :)

    • @MrRiingo
      @MrRiingo 7 років тому +8

      Yeah, I'd never ever ridden a bike before, but did my CBT recently, on a manual bike in the rain, it was fairly easy, I made some mistakes but still managed to get my CBT. It's pretty hard to not get your certificate i think.

    • @alexthomas6227

  • @angrykidplays1587
    @angrykidplays1587 5 років тому +18

    I absolutely agree with always wearing gear. I was 15 and riding my moped here in Finland and ended up coming off when a car sideswiped my rear wheel. I was wearing 3 layers on my top and some thick trousers and going only 30km/h, I ended up skidding over 5m on the asphalt. Thankfully it was brand new and smooth, so my leg didn't suffer but I ended up with a very large cut on my elbow through 3 layers of clothing (long shirt, jumper, jacket and a paper thin windbreaker). That just goes to show that coming off even at low speed can be extremely bad. ALWAYS WEAR GEAR

      Definitely. When I did my CBT I was nervous and such, but after a while it felt like I was sort of on holiday and at one point I forgot that I paid £100 for it. Probably won't be the same the next time I do a CBT but heyho.

    • @EinkOLED
      @EinkOLED 7 років тому +10

      Nah, the DAS on a 600 + cc is more fun. (except on exam days). When you've done the CBT 4 times it is boring, like a phd student going back to year 7 primary school.

    • @2010morra
      @2010morra 7 років тому +2

      MeesterDash I did mine in November. In very heavy rain. We resorted to using the instructors bandit 600 as a hand warmer. But hey that's the joys of riding.

    Thank you Spicy, I'm about to take my CBT, even though I used to ride big bikes many years ago. 50 in fact. I never did take my full licence test because I couldn't afford. But this CBT was worrying me because I thought it was a `test` rather than a teaching process. Great to watch your calm and precise instruction.

    Wow, Spicy. This vid has got to be one of the best ever on "Learning to Ride" Clear, concise and practical. Hope you continue the "Series". Back "in the day" (UK) I, bought a ¨bike from the shop - "Have you ridden before?" was asked. If answer was no -"Well jump on back - once round the block to show the controls" and away you went.

    Great video Spicy. Felt like I was back on my CBT. Think doing the video on a 125 was perfect, as it showed them what the 125 will do.
    The one thing that I had to get use to was the slow control. The looking where you want to go was the big thing I had to figure out.

    Thanks for the information, really helpful stuff in there, at the end talking about always wearing gear, even though i am not a rider i can confirm normal jeans arent gonna be helpful, playing sports on all weather in jeans and sliding to hit base can easily shred the jeans at the knees so i wouldn’t expect them to put up much of a fight in a situation where you come off the bike but great video and really like the visual demonstrations instead of just the average do’s and do not’s

    Nice video man, I remember when I started the hardest thing to get in my head was the order in what you do things when you're changing gear. But once you get it, you never forget it until it becomes second nature, like everything.
    The instructors will sort you out, they want you to pass after all, if you get an instructor that doesn't want to answer questions they you've got a bad one unfortunately, but ask everything you want and they should be happy to help.
    What would you say about Kevlar Jeans, recommended if someone wants them or not?

    Regarding the engine braking: I ride a 2004 Honda Varadero 125, which has a V2, and that bike has MASSIVE engine braking! I don't even need to use my brakes at all most of the time. That's convenient, as you don't wear out your brake pads as much, and it is actually good fun. For whatever reason, but I love having the most control over my bike :D 125's are awesome when it comes to that!

    @CRDFRider 7 років тому +14

    I started my CBT on an automatic, never even sat on a bike before, but firstly to just get an idea of the roads and riding in general, after awhile I felt more comfortable to try and get on a manual, again, never been on a manual bike before, but sold my automatic and bought the MSX, so basically pushed myself right into it... watched some UA-cam videos about the whole biting points and changing gears and so on, managed to ride to the nearer car park at night and practised on my own there for a bit, and now i'm really comfortable on a manual and hoping to get my full test done within these 2 years as i've just redone my CBT again :-)

      Alan Austin The type and size of bike that you will be permitted to ride after completing the CBT will depend on your age.
      Age Bike
      16 years old 50cc moped only
      17+ years old Any 125cc motorcycle
      The certificate allows you to ride either automatic or manual machines, regardless of the type of bike that you used on your training.

    Great tutorial mate...
    clear and with examples, spot on.
    There's a couple of questions i have tho...
    is breaking on a cruiser 125 is still same even tho the weight distribution is a bit different?
    And secondly is engine breaking as effective when you're going down a steeper hill coming to junction let's say?
    Any response is appreciated.. Thanks and ride safe!

    Alright Spicy. just a quick message to say thanks for making this series of videos. i have referred to them so many times. Got my first ever 125cc motorbike last Saturday. Thanks to your video i was able to set out on it with ease. I completed my CBT last August, so it had been a while since i had operated a motorbike. Gained more experience my using it to commute to work. Any tips on commuting with confidence in the rain? thanks again.

    funny how you are doing this, CalmBiker has just started something similar using Full Control but this is a good precursor so go hand in hand :)

    At the ripe old age of midlife crisis I am seriously thinking about learning to ride. This vid has confirmed that I going to book my CBT. Awesome vid, great explanations...even thickos like me can understand. Thank you.

      Best of luck and indeed it's never too late, the oldest chap to jump on a bike for the first time from my videos was nearly 80 and he's loving it. Haha

      Considering Ukraine is winning the war, what Putin wants is irrelevant. Hilarious that Ruskis think they are winning. Jesus, just look at the losses.

    Another great vid Spicy, but as a Newbie complete novice- am I clicking the gears up and down or click down for 1st, then lifting the gear pedal for the rest ?

    I passed my cbt yesterday and the slow control stuff you've posted and the tips for figure of 8 and u turning made those sections of the day an absolute breeze, so thank you so much!
    I have a pretty rudimentary question about breaking though. When I'm bringing the bike down in speed to either stop, approach a roundabout, or turn off to a new road I think I am I meant to (ignoring mirror, signal, lifesaver, position etc) 1) close the throttle, 2) begin breaking using the front then rear brake 3) shift into first and keep the clutch in until I can see if I'm stopping or going 4) carry on or stop. Is that right? Which break should I be applying first? I tended to favour feathering the rear break on my cbt to reduce my speed (with engine breaking) because I totally messed up on my ride and basically dropped the bike at low speed, turning off a major to minor road on a right turn and although I recovered composure and finished the ride well, it did scare me and made me very hesitant to use the front break.
    Edit - actually, watching this again I think I messed up my engine breaking and then when the bike lurched/skidded, I applied the front way too hard.
