| Hiya,
Always wanted to do a Bikesafe, now I've got my DAS I suppose I can sign up for one. Just wanted to ask if it would be more valuable to wait once I'd got my bigger bike?
I assume most of the skills would apply no matter what engine size you ride and I hear so many good things about the day that I wouldn't mind doing it twice if it came down to it.
Any thoughts? H |

| | I enjoyed and got a lot out of mine. I'd say do it twice if you can afford it. The course isn't too expensive and it can only help |

| When I had 125 I phoned up to ask about it and was advised to to the scootersafe, due to the similar powers of the bikes.
I waited till I had my licence and did the bikesafe.

I waited till I had my licence and did the bikesafe.Respect to the Bikesafe team, but I think they're telling you dud info there.We did bikesafe on 125 scooters, when we were on L plates, and it was excellent and we learnt lots from it. Scootersafe is, I'm sure, very valuable, but it's specific to city riding. If this is what you want to concentrate on, then maybe that's the one to go for. But you get lots of good general riding tips, and a blast round the lanes, if you do bikesafe. Unless you believe that you're going to use more road sens to ride a "big bike" (which I can't believe, since it implies you're currently riding your 125 like a konb on purpose), then why not do bikesafe ASAP?

| | I don't know guys and gals. When I did my Bikesafe out of the Ace we had a stint on the motorway and were doing 80-90MPH so again depends who you ride with but not sure how a 125 is going to keep up. It is a progressive ride. |

| | You can do Bikesafe on a 125. There was a guy doing it when I went. He got a policeman all to himself. They just pair people up by experience and bike size. It was a great and very useful day out. You should definitely book one. |

Personal experience of this was beneficial - different traffic conditions and different instructors, wider experience, nothing to lose.
