What to wear for CBT

Hi guys, I'm going to be doing the CBT in a few weeks and when I called
up the centre they told me to wear "boots, a jacket, and some jeans".
Could anyone clarify exactly what will work? I'm assuming my wellies
and anorak are out of the question? How about Doc Martins? I'm not
100% sure I'm a bike person so I don't want to spend loads of money on
specific gear that I might not use. Thanks

 

You should only attend the CBT in full one-piece or zip-together
leathers. Graham at GLF leathers is, apparently, your friend.

hi
dont worry too much theres no strict dress code, however it helps to
wear suitable clothes......such as......
any kind of boots, they are better than trainers, as when you change
gear your toes wont hurt as much!
jeans are fine, if you start riding a lot you might want proper
motorbike trousers with padding on the knees etc
check the weather before you go, in case you need waterproofs
wear a jacket that will keep you warm as it can be quite cold if its a
windy day
enjoy your cbt, its good fun and you will learn a lot and meet new
people too

**** that. Just wear some flip-flops and shorts. They're testing your
riding ability, not your fashion sense and for God's sake, don't forget
your shades!

 

I did mine in jeans, trainers and a parka, plus a lid and gloves. I'd
advise against a parka (you want a fairly tight-fitting jacket or you'll
spend all day getting tangled or with the wind up your sleeves) but
other than that it really doesn't matter. DMs are fine.

 

Jeans
Sterdy boots (Doc Martins will do nicely)
A warm sweater
Sterdy jacket (if you have something leather that would be good for a
CBT)
Warm gloves (even if it's really warm and sunny)

If your CBT will feature water in rain formation then I would suggest
getting rid of the leather jacket and just wear something waterproof.

My riding school provided waterproof leggings, gloves and an armoured
jacket - mine was a very good school - not many of them provide much
more than a stinky helmet.

 

Did mine in a pair of Caterpillar boots jeans and a cheap FT[1]jacket that I
bought. I think I bought a helmet and gloves as well, but I was prety sure
that I wanted to learn to ride.

[1} Help up OK when I dropped it on Lea Bridge road a few months lated.

Bollocks. I spent the first 6 or 7 years on bikes wearing nowt but
trainers, including a couple of trips abroad. I never hurt my toes
changing gear.

 

Jeans, Cat. boots and a cheap leather jacket from the market for me.

Apparently this weeks UKRM wisdom is that black jeans are "Gay", so you
should wear blue ones, for boots I'd say standard hiking boots, or
something that laces up would be the way forward, as they'll afford more
ankle protection, where as pointy toed pixie boots will make you look a
twat.

Think "If I was sliding on tarmac at 20MPH, would this rip?" and so long
as the answer is no, it's probably as sturdy as you'll need for CBT. [1]

[1] Unless you crash at 50, thrashing the tits of a knackered 125. Then
you should be proud of your scars anyway.

 

Have you been drinking?

 

The Clint Eastwood look is always going to be gay, never mind this week.

 

Nice even suntan?

Maybe at this point I should mention to all that I am a lady...
