Noobie, thinking of DAS

[hybrid]

Hey, i am thinking of doing DAS, but i have no biking experience, not even BCT.

Would i be best of taking some lessons before the DAS or just doing it in the week?

I do have a car license so know highway code etc.

Just interested in your opinions.

You mean CBT i take it?. Do that first, and see how you get on..also see if you even like biking. I did a crazy thing of buying my 125 before i did my CBT..without ever riding a bike.

DAS is cool...although im more of a fan of the 'step up' route, for example..you can theoretically do your CBT, have 2 lessons, pass your DAS then get an R1 and be at high risk of death! (most people on here would disagree no doubt).

The best way i suggest is get your CBT and theory done, then have a few lessons and see what kind of standard you are at, then you can do your DAS and maybe look at getting a bandit, hornet etc...nothing too relentless.

I was in a similar situation too.

I'd had some years on the road on four wheels, so I was familiar with the Highway Code, and had a fair amount of road experience...

but until the day of the CBT I'd never even sat on a motorbike!!

Did the CBT, then two days of lessons on 125's, and an extra day on the 125 where I hired a bike at my own choice. Then two days on 500's, then the test.... and passed first time
