IBT

Bluefoam

Just finished my IBT for Cat A in Kinnegad... Feckin' excellent setup they have.

I booked in with Dalton Motorcycle Training and did the road part today with Tony and Brian from Motorcycle Safety Ireland...

Cant say enough about how good it was. I'm shattered, but happy as a pig in sh1te. It was great craic too...

Genuinely, I can't imagine a better environment to do the course. There was enough instructors that everything you did was observed and you got the right advice to improve... Good gang of learners there too.

Now I need to find a bike... Had planned to wait a while, but feeling like I need to practice properly now....

Well done. Great to hear I'm about to start the IBT (although in Dublin) and looking forward to it!

Enjoy it. It was an eye opener for me... I had bikes in the past, but the skills part of the training was great, taught me allot.

Don't have the funds right now. But a Moto Guzzi V7 if I can persuade the insurance company...

The won't quote me on the MG which is relatively low powered, but I can get insurance on a 1200 once it's a popular bike...

Unfortunately, I know the feeling of having to wait, but don't worry it will be worth it in the end, I hope you can convince the insurance company so you can get the bike that you want. I remember recently someone posted a beautiful picture on Reddit. It was the V7 with the Wicklow mountains in the background.

he got that just after doing his IBT, a pricey first bike alright. I thought I was mad getting a secondhand BMW as my first.
