ive been offered a yamaha 125 as a straight swap for doing some work for a m8. its taxed and mot'd till next yr. would be ideal for me to go to work on when im working in shopping centres as i usually pay 11 a day in parking. what do i have to do to get on the rd. have i got to pass a test?? havent ridden a bike in about 20 yrs now

if you dont have full bike licence, you need to do cbt, then full test with 2yrs

[Lazydocker]

If you have a bike licence then nothing, if not then you need to fit L plates and pass a CBT course. And of course you need a lid and clothing.

You will need to take a CBT (cumpulsary bike training) as you first step this will allow you ride as a learner for two years.

you might have "grandfather" rights and it be on your licence. Otherwise its a CBT. But i believe its all recently changed regarding CBT e.g length of course and what happens on it. Hope that helps.

EDIT: Damn. need to type faster

Full test now requires the written bit too

things have moved on from my day, but i believe practical and written tests are involved these days, followed by a fixed period to pass the the full test or similar, Tunnies been on the that trail recently i believe?

far to slow...again!

cbt mate. will cost around £100. takes a full day, morning in class room doing theory stuff then afternoon learning to ride ( normally on a carpark or school play ground) then its off out for about an hr on the roads just to show you can handle a bike. lets you ride anything upto a 125cc or 11kw for 2 years on l plates then either take full bike test or re-do cbt.

mines just car licence. i would benefit financially quite a bit as it usually costs me about 20 quid a day in fares and parking, and thats just up to about 10 miloes away.
just been looking into it, did a mock theory test.   /46 right

Mr Smug here.....I did my bike test on a GS550 while you could still get away with a sidecar attached. Nearly wet myself laughing when the examiner made me do the slow riding bit...had to keep catching him up. Passed (surprise surprise) and managed to wait almost a week before I took the chair off to ride it solo.

i'd like to ride again, be nice to just take off in the summer with me son when he gets his bike, and a fiver a week in fares would be good, think of the beer i could drink
