Don't worry, motorcycling is fun, and the Streetwise team are committed to getting you on the road quickly and safely.Where do you start? Well if you have never ridden before - the first step is:CBT
What is CBT (Compulsory Basic Training)?"Normally"... Full one day course*Morning: Initially we spend some time in the classroom, where we discuss general clothing requirements and equipment which we feel will be suitable for your needs.We then move out of the classroom onto our own off road area, here we take you through the controls of your motorcycle or scooter, practicing putting the machine on its stand, showing you what to check on your bike on both a daily and weekly basis. We then commence instruction on how to pull away and stop safely, how to change gear (if applicable), we also put some cones out, for you to ride around, to help you obtain confidence and control when the bike is only moving slowly. Lastly in this session, we practice emergency stops, and show you the correct way to turn left and right.Break for Lunch at Streetbites our on site cafeAfternoon: Once again into the classroom, for a short discussion and recap on the mornings events, a quick overview of the highway code, and then a video is played showing you what to be aware of, and how to ride properly on the public road.Finally onto the road! For this whole period, you are under constant supervision, with our instructors communicating from their own machine, directly with you, via your helmet radio receiver. We ride for approximately 2 hours, practising real time what you learnt in the morning session, together with further training on how to approach other road hazards such as traffic lights, round abouts etc.
Lastly, a CBT (DL196) certificate is issued. This will validate your license for 2 years. This certificate will be your part one approval on taking your full test.
