    Hello all,
    just passed my CBT on Sunday with http://www.ablemotorcycletraining.co.uk/index.html and am wondering what to do next.
    Do I pass my test on a 125 and stay restricted for 2 years or do DSA? I'm a skint student so cost is obviously a factor - I also realise I could buy a bigger bike that's been restricted to 33bhp.
    I have no idea where to start as I'm a complete bike virgin.
    HELP!

    Hi Paul - cheers, I'm sorely tempted but I'd probably have to sell a kidney ;D

    Hi There and welcome from one Tina to another hehe

    I did my MOD 1 + 2 on my 125 and am restricted for 2 years.

    Can't say Im complaining and I wouldnt have done it any other way lol....mainly 'cos Im rather short and didnt have the confidence on a 500......but that is what I have now and I love it (it had to be lowered tho)

    It did work out cheaper to do it on my own bike obviously and I was really happy doing it on a bike I felt comfortable with.

    Whatever you choose good luck and fingers crossed
