So back ground
31 Year old been driving since 18 no accidents, careful, confident driver.
For Christmas got a CBT voucher and Friday decided to use it, Weather wasn't great but was looking forward to it, even though I have never rode a geared bike before. But it went down hill.
The bike was a Jap copy of a Honda CBF I think, with an electric starter that didn't work so when I stalled it, and a did a few times I had to kick start it. This got worse when sat at the lights and it just died, battery wasn't giving it enough juice to tick over with the lights on having to kick start a bike at the lights is horrible, was getting attitude from the instructor saying if I didn't keep stalling it the battery wouldn't be getting flat.
Even with all this I still passed, but just not feeling to special about going out on a bike again, been reading the forum like mad and watching bike reviews to try and make me feel better but still unsure.
