*** How to obtain a bike license ***

[Mickcas]

Mod 1 passed today! Yes!

Convinced myself I was gonna fail all weekend and got too nervous but I got it.

Congrats

That's the easy bit done, now to the proper test! (Usually everyone disagrees with me on this, so I am probably wrong )

Oddly, I feel fine with Mod2. Was super nervous about Mod1 because I didn't feel I had much chance to practice the higher speed stuff.

Have done a fair bit of Mod2 riding anyway back and forth with the instructors and been driving for many years.

Let's get it!

 

[McGray]

Wow, did it, I'm done. Mod 2 passed earlier today.

I'm absolutely stoked!

Awesome!
What bike have you got/getting?

 

[McGray]

Got a cb125r and been eyeing up the 650.

Nearly drove straight to the showroom but opted for pub instead.

Definitely been answered in here somewhere but I'm reading more and more and confusing myself.

I have full class A entitlement on my car license so am I right in thinking I just need the CBT and I'm good to ride whatever I want?

No. You've probably got a trike entitlement but unless you've done your motorcycle theory and tests you aren't entitled to ride anything other than a 125 with just a CBT

I assume you haven't taken a full motorcycle test? A full car licence does not provide a full motorcycle licence. No, you can't ride anything with just a CBT. Class A will be listed on the back of your licence. In fact all classes are listed on the back. But unless it has a start and end date next to the class then you don't have it.

With only a CBT you can ride only up to a 125cc with L plates on the front and back. CBT only lasts two years.

To ride any unrestricted motorcycle you need CBT, motorcycle theory, Mod1 and Mod2. Then you can ride anything you can get insurance on.

Yeah that's your trike entitlement the (79) 3 bit.
So you could get a nice reliant robin and drive that.

Aw well, thanks for the quick answers.

The government website lists much more information about your licence and entitlements than your card does. https://www.gov.uk/view-driving-licence

Thanks for that.

Going to book the theory and the CBT and take it from there.

I'm only 45 so I can still convince the wife it's not actually a mid life crisis.

Came across this, might be worth adding it to the main post.

Done, cheers.

Done, cheers.

Thanks, I think it'll be easier to understand the different categories for those who are lazy like me, hopefully its pretty self explanatory.
