Some great advice there thank you, sounds like DAS is worth a go. Will find a local school at get the CBT booked.

Hi, I have not had a 'bike' since a moped (Suzuki AP50) I had back in the eighties. Once I passed my car test I never got chance to get into bikes. I am now in my 50s and interested in starting riding. I think I have almost got my head around the various tests and training needed. But I was wondering what do most people do, go through the CBT and ride a 125 on L plates for a few months. Or work their way through the tests and then by their first bike. Some of the tests look like they may need quite a bit of experience to pass. So wondering if the 125 route is best. I am not looking to get a massive bike, just something to make a few trips on to make a change from using the car. What are your thoughts?
