WHAT DOES THE CBT ENTAIL? CBT is designed for people who have never ridden before, and it is NOT a test. | | | | WHAT IS EXPECTED OF ME? What we expect is that you reach a basic safety standard at the end of the session. If you do not, then we shall bring you back as often is necessary to get you there. | | | | WILL I HAVE TO STUDY? There is a small amount of theory involved with the CBT but most of it is hands on bike riding. | | | | WHAT IF I'VE NO OTHER EXPERIENCE? We start you at the very beginning and work in stages, and at the end of the time off road, if we feel you are up to it, we shall then take you out on the road , where you will be accompanied and assessed by an instructor who will have constant radio contact with you. | | | | | | | | WHAT SHOULD I WEAR? It is always advisable to have good clothing for your comfort, safety and protection. If you already have proper biking equipment, then all the better. Otherwise it is sensible to wear STURDY BOOTS, DENIMS, HEAVY JACKET, GLOVES, WARM CLOTHING AND WATERPROOFS. | | | | | | | | | | | | | HOW ELSE CAN I PREPARE? It is recommended that you read the following publications: -
THE HIGHWAY CODE -
Motorcycle Riding, the Essential Skills -
A GUIDE TO CBT FOR MOTORCYCLISTS -
Official Theory Test for Motorcyclists -
We now stock these publications, please ask for prices. | | | WHAT IF IM ALREADY CONFIDENT? We offer advanced courses to suit the needs of the rider who already holds their full licence. These courses can be taken either as half, 1 or 3 day sessions and accommodation is available. The 3 day course would make an ideal short break for the enthusiastic biker who wishes to brush up on their skills whilst enjoying the fabulous roads and scenery of the Highlands. If you wish to bring your partner, there is plenty in the Cowal area for a non biker, (or why not encourage them to learn to ride too?!) | | | | I DON'T LIVE LOCALLY? Accommodation is also on offer for customers who are undertaking an intensive course. This accommodation can be arranged through Trafalgar Motorcycles, and may be either hotels or guesthouses. Please ask for further details. | | | WHAT TYPE OF COURSES ARE OFFERED? We can offer individual lessons on a 125cc or big bike (over 46.6bhp). We also offer 3 or 5 day courses for both options. These are good value for money and offer the CBT plus 6 lessons before the test (3 day ) and CBT and 12 lessons before test (5 day). The days do not have to be taken consecutively, the time may be taken whenever suits you. Please ask for further details. | | | | |
