Just booked in for the DAS course starting Sunday and put a deposit down on an old CG125.

This biking thing is happening!

If you're doing DAS why buy a CG?

It was very inexpensive and I can use it to practice on, I can sell it on easily enough when done, might make a small loss which is worth it for the extra on bike time to me.

Plus I can commute on it as soon as I get it on my CBT and use it over winter as a cheap hack before buying something more powerful/nicer.

I also managed to pick up some Spada leathers for half price in my local shop this afternoon. Productive day!

Makes sense. Why have 1 bike when you can have 2? Very Happy

Oh I don't know, I'd much rather get my cheap 125 dirty, wet and possibly dropped during winter than something that is shiny and nice.

Thanks for the positive comments people!
