DAS / Crashes

[Bendy]

As an offshoot from the new licence/training 'debate' going on in that thread over there...

I want to know how many people did DAS, and out of those people, how many crashed within the first 6 months. Feel free to point out that you've gone longer without crashing

Please don't vote if you didn't do DAS.

Hi

Trouble is that even if a DASer is twice as likely to crash in style then that is probably 20% crashing rather than 10% crashing.

Suspect a far larger sample size is required.

All the best

Bendy,
Arent there only one or two people on here who has done a DAS?

Plus how can we see the results if we can't vote?

I just clicked on "no I didn't", but I did my CBT, then rode for a year on the Planet, then did my DAS in a few days to get my license. Do I count or were you just looking for people who went from nowt to big bike license?

Hi

But how many people on here have passed their tests and stacked a 33hp+ bike within a couple of years?

Hint, clicking the "Users" link will supply the names .

All the best

So, in summary, it's all bollocks.

Some people will crash. Others won't. Sometimes it'll be their fault, sometimes it won't be.

Hi

Pretty much, yes. Some people will crash, most will not. But some may crash avoidably and would be very well advised to gain more experience on a more user friendly bike (the way you did with the CB500).

Even forgetting the engine power, a large sports bike has a fair amount of weight, sharp brakes and quick steering which will all catch out the inexperienced.

Personally I would think that the experience is the most important thing. I would be far more likely to give someone a go on one of my bikes who had just got a the restricted licence after 3 years on a 125 than virtually any person who had just done DAS and bought an R6.

All the best

Is DAS a different test to the 33bhp one? or purely done on a bigger bike?
After passing my test i rode for another 2 months on my NSR before buying my CBR and haven't yet crashed but i think thats more to do with luck!

And i agree with the fact that there should be more training too because even a 33bhp bike is fast enough to kill you, but at the same time when i first got my NSR the only reason i had enough road sense was from my driving (IMO) because the cbt wasn't much use to asses how "safe" i was!

Sorta off topic

If you pass your test (Not DAS) and are restricted for two years to a 33bhp bike, can you still use the 125cc for two years anyway and then move up after too bigger bikes +33bhp (Ie Use a 125cc instead of say 250/400cc ) ?
Thanks
