Done my CBT today with Phoenix in Maidstone. They were recommended to me by a friend of a friend. I was quite nervous after we done our theory bit on the way to the pad. Started off ok moving around on the bike and learning how too look after it (basics). Then although I done a bit on a free taster day a while ago, could I do a figure of 8 or u turn or basic clutch control, could I bollocks! So frustrated! And their lay the problem. Frustration is the worst way to be ive discovered. After a self kick up the arse and a few words I managed to get it done! BE CALM, TAKE A BREATH! Next we had lunch, went through the essentials of turning in to main and major roads, roundabouts etc. Got out onto the road, and the weirdest thing happened. I seemed take to it like a duck to water! I loved it! More relaxed, and confident but not too much! My hands kept on going a bit numb, I think it was me being too tense maybe! In all, I done it and very pleased! Ben the instructor was very good, Lagunas I really like, and Phoenix have been really helpful!
