agree with you Tim, it does only teach you the basics, Lucky for me my brother and Dad both ride and the taught me all the other stuff such as counter steering, also I read lots of articles in magazines / MCN and then went out on the road and tried it, plus a fair few brown trouser moments.

I dont think that theres any substitute for experience and thats something that you arent gonna get through a DAS course, trouble is I dont think that restricting licenses for two years will help, in fact it will make things worse.. as people will just not ride for two years and then go and get what they want anyway..

I think we need education rather than legislation.. and no matter what happens you'll always get people who spoil it for everybody else
