I'm going to get back on track with passing my bike test soon, I completed my CBT about 6 months ago and then passed my motorcycle theory the week later...then I kind of ran out of money.
I'm hoping to start having bike lessons soon, I haven't got my own bike yet but I might just wait until I pass my test to buy one. When I did my CBT I was fairly competent at riding, the main thing I kept doing wrong was not turning my indicators off, but apart from that there were no real problems.
Just for a little bit of fun, how many lessons do you think I will need before I pass my bike test? I'm hoping for only 3, but considering I have completely forgotten how to ride a bike it could be a lot more.
Just for fun - how many lessons?
Re: Just for fun - how many lessons?
You never forget how to ride a bike you just think you do.
2-3 lessons is all it should take. Just remember your shoulder checks, mirrors, & your indicators.

Totally agree with Craigrevo.
My good lady passed her CBT a couple of years ago, left it about 10 months and went for 4 lessons and then took her test and passed. The only thing she seems to be missing at the moment is her own bike!

Just watch lots of YouTube clips of rider mounted cameras while practicing on imaginary controls. 
Should help get you mentally prepared until your lessons.
Just stick to the hazard perception style ones!

Hi Bryn, I did my cbt three years ago, I then did three days riding around blandford camp and dorchester, then i took my test. Stupidly riding up to the test centre in dorchester there is quite a lagre slope that you have to drive up to start your test there, on my last practice circuit i put my foot down on a manhole cover with slippery boots, ( The next picture is not preety as i was upside down like a turtle in the road ) 
And a very sore knee.
I went on to take my test that day and of course failed but two weeks later i was a fully fledged chick on a 600 diversion :woohoo: :woohoo:
