Are you just doing your CBT or going the full hog with a Direct Access?

Pick my first bike up tomorrow and I can't bloody wait.

I would like to do the whole hog mate. What bike are you going for?

Avoid the one at Stockton like the plague, can never get hold of them and not the most helpful bunch!

Gonna do mine next year once I can afford to do it all properly.

New place of residence and car has put a halt on it for now!

Enjoy it though! All the best

Honda Varadero 125. I'll give it 6 months to build up a bit of confidence then probably go for the full or restricted test.

Don't buy a CCM. They have the worst build quality of anything I have ever purchased. Went from showroom to scrapyard in 3 years and 15,000 miles.

I did my CBT with Ace Motorcycle Training in Durham, just round the corner from the Arnison Centre. Couldn't fault them really, and they charged about the same as everywhere else at the time (2008).
