[cbt is inadequate]

I did a DAS cousre in march this year (passed first time yeah ) honestly never been on a bike before that. The instruction i got was excellent, CBT was just as good, as a car driver, i do remember thinking holy f*** there is no one else to give it clutch or brake if i am being stupid, when we went out on the 2 hour road part. The training was adequate for actuall controls on the bike. looking back perhaps it should be split in to a two day course. but thats all retrospective as i had road experience. I think that worked in my own favour.. but I did get excellent teacher.

Crash bungs cost a few squid.

Fairing costs hundreds.

If ever you drop the bike, the ground will hit the bungs, not the expensive plastic, mirrors, bars etc.

Short answer: YES!!!!!!!!!

Good point, I will look into it. Never anyones intention to drop there pride and joy, and I am also very aware I have very little real world experiance riding. Funny, if my car gets pranged I just think oh well insurance job, If my bike got pranged bad (say if I ended up dropping it )I would just be mortified lol... thanks for the reply.
