Right just looked at everything gona cost around 1ner without any lessons and sum place just quoted me 599 4 day course including practical test so gona do it just need to get a book or cd for the theory any1 recommend 1
I'd get this dude for practicing theory, I got it and passed 1st time
DSA Theory Test for Motorcyclists Download, think you download and buy direct from dvlas website, have a look on the net dude
Theorys easy though, most of it is just common sense and its multiple choice as you know but deffo do some practicing before, I never really bothered looking into the highway code, just used that. would send it to ya but its made to be used on only 1 computer, you probably could find a 3 copy on the net though ;)
that dvla ones online is good just like being there ,, did my lot for about £400 including the price of the cbt two years before £125 , £30 x2 theory tests, £45 1 mod1 lesson , £15 mod1 £45+pre mod1 lesson basically taking you to the test center. £45 on a mod2 lesson then £90 test+ pre test lesson . done
I failed my mod 2 first time but in hindsight the instructors were not good riders they couldn't even wheelie [joke] anyway I decided on my 2nd try which was about 6 months later to have no lessons and just ride like I normally do and sailed through it one minor, thinking about it I shouldn't have bothered with any lessons because I found the instructors were just over explaining everything and unless your a complete newbie and just ride sensible you will pass mod 2 without lessons theres enough on youtube to tell you what the test involves, its basically a little ride with a guy telling you were to go, he will tell you to head for a destination for about 15 mins then for the rest of the time it will be pulling up behind parked cars pulling away and a few roundabouts and then head off back to the centre.
as long as you get your bike up to test standards (not mot standards) then i dont see the point in paying to do your test at a disadvantage ,if you get in someones car that youve never driven before it takes a while to get used to it ,all of your riding practice was done on your bikes , i went for my das years ago and couldnt take the test coz the tax disc had fallen off of THEIR bike and it was so poorly maintained it was a death trap and for the whole three day jobby it crashed it down , doesnt install confidence when a so called noobie in their eyes can tell both tyres are well under pressure and are weaving in the corners , I HATE 4 STROKES ....unless above about 550cc
That's wicked Calum I passed my mod 1 today failed last week left my side stand down right at the start felt like a proper pleb got my practical next week

Mate thats what i was like at the time when he gave me a minor for doing it all the way through the test, he wasn't none of it when I explained that but least he didn't choose to be a dick and fail me for it, I know you gotta do it normally just be wary on your test is all I'm saying

Right. I know it sucks. So zip it lmao! But i'm only twenty. And money is tight. So i'm just doing it on my dt :( the reason being is that if i want to do my big bike license firstly i need to be 24. Secondly i need to spend like £600. Or i could spend £600 now hiring and using a 400. Then in two years time spend another £600 doing it on a 600.
So i thought feck it. For £15.50 i'm just going to do it on my DT. Then do the big bike as soon as i'm 24. Bonus here in my opinion is that i won't need to keep doing my cbt. I won't need to keep doing the theory. And i won't get in trouble for having pillions/ no L plates and cheaper insurance :)
But yeah. My dt :(
So i'm only getting the A1 license. I know it sucks but money is tight and i can't be arsed to keep doing the practicle test lmao!
iv just done mine on me dt only 18 so cant do a2 anyway, passed mod 1 before the law change then failed mod 2 and couldnt re book before the law change :(
Thats a greener. I never gave it any thought. Really! I just woke up one day this year and was like. Feck it. I'm going to do my bike license. My cbt expired years ago which is why i didn't bother. But redone that and thought i want to be 100% legit
Been riding four years. But can someone fill me in on what to expect for mod 2?
