My age doesn't come into it. I've had a car licence since Pontius was a pilot Nuff' said.
The reason I ask is this. I'm doing a DAS 4 day course at the end of the month and it occurred to me that if I passed Mod 1 and failed Mod 2, I could possibly resit Mod 2 on my own 125 at a later date if that was allowed. It would just be simpler, since I could practice to cure any faults without having to go to the expense and bother of hiring a bigger bike and instructor.
The 33bhp restriction wouldn't bother me too much, I left the need for silly speeds or status behind many moons ago and only want to ride safely on a bike which can cope with modern traffic flows.
Of course all this is, as I said theoretical because I intend to pass .........but maybe, just in case like, I'd like to know  |

Then save the cost of a DAS course and do Mod 1 & 2 on your 125?
Mod 1's only £15..... so no great saving not having to repeat it.
4-Day das is like what? £600?
You could get same amount of actual 'training' and a damn site more practice time, not paying an instructor for the legal requirement to watch over your shoulder while on a 'big bike' with L's, from perhaps four two hour lessons, and practice on your 125 in your own time. and save maybe £400 or more. ____________________ My Webby'Tef's-tQ, loads of stuff about my bikes, my Land-Rovers, and the stuff I do with them!

It's not down to simple economics though Mike. The DAS course is a father/son 'holiday' thing and I'm happy to spend the money on it. I was just looking at possible outcomes
So, it's definite then, if you pass Mod 1 on a big bike but fail Mod 2 you couldn't 'keep' your Mod 1 pass and do Mod 2 on a 125? Doesn't make sense to me if that's the case. I can see it the other way round but where's the logic in it? And what if you passed it on a 'big' bike and failed on your 125? How sick would that be  |

You'll have to ask the DSA. Ask them three times, get three different answers, pick the one you want. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.
