I had my first ride on a motorbike the other day, It was scary but exciting at the same time. Really want to get my CBT & my own bike in the future (cdn.masto.host)

There is a course that is called a CBT (Compulsory basic training) in the UK. I won't be able to ride on the road until I have done it. Luckily it's just a 8 hour day course and the only two ways I can fail is if I quit or am that bad at driving the instructor thinks I'm a danger to myself or others on the road.

Oh that’s cool. I’m in the states and the California Highway Patrol course I took was optional, but did count as the driving portion of my license test.

They put me on a tiny little bike for the course though that was way too small for me haha. Probably wise from their perspective but it was still a long two days of riding.
