hey there as for DAS i have two kids and just cant warrant spending 600 quid on it. Also im in no rush for a bigger bike i know what the nsr is like unrestricted and that should do me just fine for the restriction and with 2 years experience im sure it will help when getting on a bigger bike. Thanks for the comment on the bike.

yeh seems the best route for me. Although i still dont understand why i have to take another theory test when i have been driving for 9 years, especially when there are only i think 2 bike specific questions. I suppose the government has to make money somehow lol

i'm in the same boat - one kid, and another on the way.. seems like the most cost effective way to save money whilst getting a full licence.

And i completely agree with you on the theory test score, i've been driving 7/8 years and cannot understand the need to re-take a pretty much identical test !!

Anyhoo - good luck, and i'm sure you'l find most of the BCF folk friendly enough.. !

Olly.

whats the price difference between DAS and A2?

how much is it to de-restrict your current bike? or to restrict a bigger bike?

just save a month or 2 longer and do the DAS, seems pointless to restrict yourself un-necessarily

but anyway, welcome dude Thumbs Up

600 quid for das or 10 quid for module 1 and 70 quid for module 2 bit of a difference and i wouldnt need to restrict a bike as i would stick with my nsr just have it unrestricted although the nsr wont change gear at the mo so trying to get that sorted Sad

Taz, I was in a similar situation as you - kids and not much money. So I did the A2 and still fart about on the same 125, even after over a year after passing. It all depends how patient you can be really. Welcome aboard. Thumbs Up

Just did my theory. When I did my driving theory I didn't have to do the hazard awareness so I suggest you practice that as much as you can mate. Its a pain in the ass. And as for the theory questions, they seem to have a lot more about first aid and the obvious inclusion of bike related questions.

If you want a theory disk I'm happy to send you my old one, I have no use for it now.

Nice bike by the way.

I did A2 a half a year ago.. I'm in no rush to jump on a bigger bike.. wife, 1 kid.. make my budget tight anyway.. I need a bigger car first.

I want a second bigger bike for longer trips, but there are other priorities at the moment.. Christmas is coming lol
