1375287 2014-05-19 23:18:00 Hey team - I'm looking at finally getting my Motorbike Licence! So obviously I have to sit my Handling Skills test and get that certiificate before I can go to the AA to get the paper licence but I was just wondering if you have yours, where you sat it and how much it cost you?

Cheers,

L_N.

1375290 2014-05-19 23:51:00 Just wondering, are scooter riders exempt from this ?
I often see them with no real control on take-off. Legs dangling down on the ground untill they pickup speed, sometimes Fred Flintstone style .

They sure are. You can ride anything under 50cc (most scooters) with only a Car Learners.

That makes the whole thing a bit of a mockery , doesnt it ?
Riders with zero skills, riding scooters that are sometimes so gutless they cant keep up with traffic (on any sort of incline)

1375293 2014-05-20 01:01:00 Yamaha in Henderson, off Railside Ave, the guy is there like 8 -> 10AM most Saturdays AFAIK. Cost around $50 if memory serves me right... and he walks you through everything, gives you a few shots at it, will help make sure you are able to do it and things. Give the Yamaha in Henderson a ring, they'll tell you the details :) Chilling_Silence (9)

Ah sweet - might give them a buzz . I've got a card for a guy, but he said ~$180 . 00 which I thought was a bit much . . .

Nice. I'm going to be getting a YZF R15. Can't wait!I would seriously consider a bigger bike that you won't out grow so fast, it's along time before you get your full. Remember with the new LAMS laws there is a huge choice going up to 600cc.
