So, I did my CBT last April and went and bought a Honda PCX 125 scooter. All has so far gone well and I have put a lot of miles on the clock commuting between Kidderminster and Wolverhampton about 3 days a week.
Whilst I don't intend getting a bigger bike, I do feel that maybe I should consider getting my full license in the near future.
Having looked around, the cost of doing it is huge! A 4 day course including all fees is about £800, so I may re-consider for the time being.
So my questions are...
- Is there any advantage in doing the DAS if I don't intend getting a bigger bike? £800 is a fair few CBT re-takes - in fact about 8 which would last me 16 years!
- Having got plenty of experience (albeit on an auto) how many days of training should I realistically expect to need?
- Would it be worth getting a cheap as chips 125 manual prior to doing the DAS and then selling it straight on?
What are peoples experience with this and can anyone recommend an instructor in the region (I was looking at Open Road).
