dirtydog 0 Posted April 17, 2011 passed my cbt today without to many errors but thats not saying it wasnt "interesting" first of all me and my mate arrived on site to find our instructor was being spot checked by the DSA meaning the course had to be exactly as the book says no cutting corners then after doing the off road part my mates bike picked up a brake light fault so we had to return the unit to make that good next thing to go wrong was half way round our compulsary 2hr ride was the instructors bike got a puncture so he took 1 of our 125s to flirt back to the unit to collect a man with a portable compressor which was followed by a slow ride back to the unit where we hung about for half hour whilst they repaired the puncture then finaly we got back out on the road and completed the cbt in what must a record time of 9.5 hours Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
