Stalling shame

So I am a newbie and riding a 1998 Marauder 125, yesterday I could not stop stalling after filling up on petrol. It was in front of a skatepark so I was feeling self conscious and it took me about 45 mins to get going properly again. I wanted to give up but did some deep breathing and had a snacknand a drink and eventually got on my way....but it really threw me!

I find the shifting process still quite tricky and am trying to practice when I can, apart from that though I absolutely love being on 2 wheels!

CBT next week

I've got the road section of my CBT next week, kast time it was cancelled due to a bad storm.

I am confident riding a bicycle on the road as well as a car so hopefully it all goes ok.

I only have about 4 hours experience on a geared bike so the school said I can use a twist and go if I want.

Not sure which option to take yet... guess I'll see how I am on the day??

Dentists

Really wish there were NHS dentist spaces in Cornwall...the only option right now is private. I spent a small fortune on 2 fillings earlier in the year and had to go private. Does anyone know if it's better in Devon? Many thanks

Buying advice

Hello folks,

I have not even passed my CBT yet, but just looking ahead as to where people buy their 1st 125s?

I keep looking on Marketplace and local dealerships etc but would like to gain some advice about what to ask and look out for.

Many thanks!

A very happy Middle aged lady x

1st fail today

I failed my 1st test today....I was doing ok then had a panic at a double roundabout. All of a sudden I was like OMG I'M DOING REALLY WELL AND I'M ABOUT TO MESS IT UP and the nerves hit me

I will be back practicing again tomorrow and hopefully I can get another test in a few weeks or so.

Good luck to everyone who has tests coming up
