  1. Thanks a lot everyone for taking the time to explain your own experiences; really useful stuff. I'm getting a better idea now for what I want to do and looking forward to doing the CBT before then either heading straight for DAS or otherwise buying a second hand 125 for a bit (having seen a dealer today with fairly flexible trade back deals). Cheers all
  2. Getting ahead of myself as haven't even done my CBT yet! But had always intended that after I pass my test I'd then do a Bikesafe run. Looking at the web they don't seem to run in Scotland any more; does anyone know an equivalent? There's the"round the corner" campaign from the police but that just seems to offer good advice as opposed to any safety courses or Bikesafe. Thanks
  3. Hi all - just signed up as pleased to be finally doing my CBT this weekend, aged 37, to begin life on 2 wheels apologies if this comes up as a common question; but with just starting out, how many hours of real riding time do you think you need to become decent enough to ride well/pass a test confidently? I don't want to do a direct access, fluke the test, buy a fancy machine and then write myself off a week later.... I remember taking 4 months to learn to drive a car on weekly lessons so think I want to build a bit of riding time before being let loose on anything with many CCs. So, tell me if you think it daft to buy a 125 after a few initial lessons (can only do weekly and not a block), build up say a years experience before then taking more lessons on a bigger bike and then trading in the 125 for something more. Or should I not buy a bike at all and just take longer to learn through lessons on a larger machine? Don't want to sound overly cautious here but part of the justification to my partner and family is that ill promise to go about this sensibly! I'm not slating the quick DAS courses but just don't think they'd work for me. Cheers
