What do I need to bring with me for my CBT?

You are more than welcome to use motorcycling clothing of your own.
We will provide hot and cold drinks - you will need to bring something to eat.
What kind of bike would I use? The bike you use will dependend on prior experience and your own preference. For instance for CBT (Compulsory Basic Training) you would typically learn on a 50cc moped or a 125cc geared bike. How many lessons will I need before my practical test? This depends on how quickly you reach the level required . This can vary between our pupils but our expert instructors are usually able to advise. |
