Hi, I'm Molly.
« on: July 04, 2011, 10:24:25 AM »
I'm proper new! Doing my CBT next month. I live in Builth and watch bikes cruise past my front door every sunny weekend, dozens yesterday! Living here it seems criminal not to be on two wheels. Fell for a beautiful dragstar at the last no bull, had no idea 125's could look like that! Realised all my excuses had run out and booked my test!

Welcome Molly.

Take some time to read through some of the guides and tips people have posted on the forum when it's time for your tests, they helped me a lot!

Have fun!

Thank you! … I will!
When I'm on four wheels I try really hard not to be an idiot but I don't think I've ever read any advice written by a biker on how to be a considerate car driver, apart from the obvious don't pull out without looking!!
I had a biker rest his boot on my bumper last year and I was doing 50!! Which was a bit unnerving! 
 I will continue to do a constant speed, keep left and leave space in front as well as being as vigilant as possible but any other advice is welcome.

Welcome to a brave new world, Molly, great to have new girls on the team.

If I was going to give any advice, if allowed, I'd repeat what was told to me when I started in 1997.  'Dominate your lane.'  Don't let anyone squeeze you into the verge and make car drivers treat you like another car. And enjoy!

Good luck in your test.
