• Passed my CBT and Theory now, DAS in time for September is basically impossible so I've come to the conclusion I'll buy a second hand 125 for the time being and maybe buy something else next year before summer.

  • It's a good way to get bike handling skills dialled in.
    I did ~5 months commuting on a 125, pending a big boy test.
    Made me much more confident on the road.

    Also got me to the point where I didn't need to think about what I was doing (initially i was talking through the actions "clutch in, throttle off, change gear, throttle on and clutch out" "indicator is on on on on, off" etc.)
    (actually the indicator one is very handy on your test, don't want to fail on something petty like an indicator being left on)

  • Yeah definitely need to work on that indicator thing 😂 there was a few times yesterday when I consciously thought “I will cancel my indicator after this turn” then I fucked something up and distracted myself using the clutch or something.

    Now just need to decide what to buy and find it.
