Good morning all, a long time absent and straight in with a question...

I did my CBT back in December and am rocking around on a CG125 as my commuting weapon from Gosport to Portsmouth. I am going to have to travel further afield soon and i really need access to motorways and a bigger bike.

Everywhere I've phoned, DAS courses seem to come in around the 700 mark and unfortunately I don't have a mate with anything smaller than a 1300 that I could borrow for the tests (I know, man up and do it on a GSX).

I reckon a days instruction on the finer points of each module (and to get used to a bigger bike) should cover it, so what would be the cheapest route?

I did ride year round on an RS125 for 4 years before, so I don't just have 1 month of experience wink

Not sure if he hires bikes but have a word with Barney http://barneysuperbikes.co.uk/ in Fort Fareham.

Wow, even if he doesn't, I need to MOT the CG next month and have been looking for somewhere that looked like they knew what they were doing. AND it's on my way to work as well!

Try phoenix training.

They have bike hire and will just do the hours you need rather than block book you for a week. So with him you would probably get a morning practice and test later.

works out cheaper.
