Been for my 1st lesson today
I have been told that i did really well,
emergency stop = spot on
U-turn = i did do it in the end
Gear changing = It only had 5, i was looking for the 6th
Slowing/stopping = I got the hang off it now

I had told the instructor, before we set off,
"Dont make me go fast!"
When i did my cbt, he kept telling me to open
the throttle, but i was too nervous, so i didn't.

I was in front for most of the way, which i was fine with,
but told to slow down and wait for the other guy,
who was behind the instructor.
Then i had to go behind!
I dont like been behind, i was leaving to big of a gap,
so the instructor said to me, " catch up speedy, give it some throttle"

He said to me when we got back,
"what is it with you girls, you speed off when in front,
but slow down when behind".

I dont know what it is, i just dont like been behind!!

Anyways, i right enjoyed myself, i was nervous at first,
but once i got going, i was off

Well done glad to see you enjoyed it so much. I am the other way round after having my instructor follow me for 3 days and then the examiner i would rather follow than lead.

The lessons are great fun!

What bike are you riding on the lessons at the moment?

If you enjoy it..(and you abviously have) you will learn loads and take it up like a sponge..

All power to your elbow & many more years riding..

Take care

Its a vanvan

Glad you are enjoying it so much, are you booking lessons per week? when do you do your test?

Lessons to start with, then DAS, fingers crossed i will move onto the 500 in 2 week.

Excelent! will keep my fingers crossed for you hun!

Thanks hun

Funky little things those. Great to learn on and (once you get the hang of it) it's REALLY easy to perform the Uturns on it.

My instructor said they are easy because it has such a low centre of gravity
That's what my instructor said anyway- I've been riding mine for nearly 2years before then though, so I just knew exactly what MY machine could do:D.

He didn't like the way I could balance it at a standstill (motoX style)

good that you enjoyed it.....

I think I was realy lucky as I had my instructor all to myself, he only ever had one pupil at a time and I was very glad I found him, we are still friends now.

Sounds like you had a great day - keep it up and keep enjoying it.

I do that on my DRZ at traffic lights

All sounds like it went pretty well. Well done.

Fast to get to the bargins when shopping - then slow down to let someone else pay for them

dont know why, i find that funny

good luck with your test and have fun.

Well done Jo! Glad it's going so well Keep us posted on how you're getting on. Sounds like you'll have no problems at all moving on to the 500. Don't worry - they're easier than the 125s. They have more balance and the controls are smoother. Glad you're enjoying it

I have a 125 lesson this sat, and then they will decide if im ready for the 500.
As soon as im on the 500, i plan to get about 3 lessons a week in.

Had another good lesson today,
only got told off once for speeding
Managed my U-Turns
Next week i have a 2 hour lesson on the 125,
then another 2 hours on the 500
Then, if need be, i might have another 2 hours after that,
it all depends on how it goes
I know 6 hours sounds a lot in one day,
but if thats what its going to take to do it, i will

Sounds like yer enjoying yerself girl - good for you
I loved my lessons, but I preferrred going behind the instructor (enough of the smut already you boys ) so he couldn't see any mistakes I made

have you booked your theory & test?

its all very well doing lesson after lesson, but if you have to wait for a test you might go "off the boil" as it were.
also 6 hours in 1 day is a LOT of learning-you might burn yourself out.
obviously you know best how you deal with stuff, but from my not inconsiderable experience, even with a break in between lessons a lot of people end up doing worse by the last session & go away feeling less than upbeat about the whole experience. which means starting again next session, usually.

my advice would be to work out a schedule for your test & do a lesson a week leading up to it.
we probably have a different set up to the school you are with, it can take up to 6 weeks to get a test here sometimes, so we might take a slower pace than yourself, we also usually only do 4 2 hour sessions with full car licence holders, obviously that isnt a hard & fast rule, but us Geordies dont mess about & are almost as tight with money as yorkshire folk

however you do it, you are obviously enjoying it, so good luck with the rest of the training.

Theory, been an passed that already.
Test, yes its booked.
