CBT to Direct Access Assessment & Training - Familiarisation on a larger motorcycle from 125cc

This video shows extracts from a training session where four riders who only have experience on a 125cc motorcycle are taking their first steps at riding a larger motorcycle in preparation for their direct access intensive courses.
The session is designed to assess their existing abilities and to ensure that they have enough confidence with the bigger bike before committing to an intensive training course.

Got my CBT in a few hours. That was some of the best training and instruction I’ve observed on YouTube.

I hope my training is a good as this.

Great video, mate 👍 brought back old memories 🤣🤣🏍

I have been absolutely humbled, I have passed my CBT and have clicked up roughly 800 miles. These students are faaaar better than me at slow riding / manoeuvring. Bravo team. You have all set the bar very high. Teaching was treeeemendous as well.

Ah, the joys of learning slow speed control. Brings back memories, a few not good. That figure of eight...🙄

Looking up was prompted to me a lot on my recent CBT. My take away from that and this excellent video into my MOD 1 and 2 is keep my head up and look where I want the bike to go and not the deck. Many thanks for posting this video.

Gives me goosebumps watching this and I’ve driven cars and vans and towed some serious stuff for 30 years. I really fancy having a crack at the cbt/das

[ransomedavis]

im 50 and want to do my DAS next year, watching this i am so looking forward to it now, great video thankyou.

We have a new rider in our group, been sharing your beginner vids on to her, have been helping her with bike control at slow speed, but im no trainer, so watching the vids and my input has made great progress, she passed cbt few months ago but only recently bought her first bike, so was not confident getting on the bike, great vid and thankyou for sharing

[NathanWallbank]

You seem like a really good instructor. Giving them confidence that they can get it wrong and still continue. Good stuff.

This guy is AMAZING I’m going to be doing my das very soon and the way this guy is training is putting my anxiety at ease so much ! Il be highly considering you as an option!

[davecarrera]

My assessment is book for next Thursday and looking forward to it. This video is of great help to calm any nerves.

Great instructor - couldn't be better.

Brings me back to my training. Haven't ridden a bike since I passed my A-license in August, sadly. This kinda gives me that slow speed maneuvering feel back, I like it. As soon as I get a chance I'll go out there and train on my own!

Good old DAS. Passed 31/12/22
Just before the new year literally perfect timing.
So as you can Imagine i had a great start to 2023
Also due to the timing i did all lessons and test in wet conditions and passed everything 1st time.
The only thing i did do was booked a extra mod1 session.

good instructor. and happily reminds me of mr Brittas..nice!

[WhippyWhip]

i'm booking a cbt soon, i've never ridden a motorbike but have driven a car for 20 years and a lot of mountain biking so i'm hoping i will be able to pick it up ok

I have my CBT booked for the 10.02.24 and I have been really concerned about the slow control movements, I’ll be in a manual 125cc as I have bought a MT125 22 plate. I understand this was to get these lads ready for the DAC, however this really has given me an insight into some of the expectations required for the CBT, and has calmed my nerves, I think I’ll be fine out on the road having been driving on the roads for 13 years. Thanks a lot and keep up the content!

[SmokingOnMyExPack]

This time tomorrow I am doing my 125 manual test and I’m sh**** it I’m confident in myself but know my nerves could throw a spanner in the works fingers crossed 🤞🏼

Could’ve done with this 2 weeks ago haha - but I’m sure others will find it useful!
