Hope it dont snow Dont mid doing the CBT to get me into it before the direct access, what pisses me off after driving for 11 years i have to take a theory test and hazard perception test

 

The theory & hazard perceptions easy mate

 

im sure it is AJ it just seems daft when i have a full car license

 

i might get a bike now, well later

 

I totally agree mate

 

Good luck mate

Just remember, they are all trying to kill you

 

would be nice in that sun in Oz

 

pmsl ill look out for volvos especially

 

was just talking about this today how much you paying fore thr cbt and direct access?

Hardeep.

 

I know exactly what you mean!!

I'm in the middle of doing my bike licence and I went for my theory last week. £20 to sit in a room full of 17 year olds and then answer the simplest driving questions know to man 6 years of driving experiance basically doesn't count for anything!!

Hardeep....I'm paying £385 for a 3 day direct access course [includes CBT, theory and practical tests + bike hire etc....]

 

John thats not bad at all dude any details of where your doing it

 

I thought it was quite resonable!!

I'm doing it here:

http://www.2wheelskool.co.uk

You'll find they're all pretty similar though

I've recently bought myself this:

 

yeah, that is cheap! - i've done my theory and hazard perception already, and am planning on taking my test over the summer!

 

Jeez Lee

You mean you're finally going to stop the chat and do it

Have fun bloke

 

damn abit far for me in middlesex

nice bike newbie to bikes looks nice what cc is it? uncles about to buy a 52 plate honda fireblade been on his older one got me hook

 

Hardeep its a 600cc....plenty fast enough for me!! I know what you mean about the hook! My house mates all have bikes so I've been out with them and had a go on theres so HAD to have one!

 

John nice choice of bike

Lee its easy mate, you'll be surprised at how carefully you drive your car when you pass though

so true

 

me too, i,m taking steps towards doing mine, its £450 for CBT, Lessons and test.

if i do the theory beforehand

 

test easy matey i had 2 do mine again and i have 1 year old zx6rr ninja think i paid 400 all in 4 cbt an test so their all about the same ish

 

good luck ive got my theory test next friday when i get back from algeria cbt on the sat the test the 1st week of april cant wait as r6 is sitting in the garage

 

nutter you should of told the people laughing the bikes a sleeper

 

john 600cc would feel fast i'm sure, i'd proabably go straight for the 1000cc though there cheap enough

 

so whats the aaverage cost oof insurance for a 21 year old on a 600

 

HI,

I did a direct access one to one course in 1998, as i had a full
car licence i did'nt have to do the theory, only cbt, so lucky i guess .
IF YOU NOW have to do the theory.


Dave R.

 

Lee you'll love it mate, you'll finally see why a bike is so much more fun than a car, even if its not as fast ni certain circumstances.

 

better learn not to fall off

 

im 23 and gonna be 440 tpft on a v reg yamaha r6 alot cheaper than i thought it xould be for a first bike

 

I've got a quote on mine [i'm 23] for £380!! Mucho cheapness

 

John who was that with? And have you got any no claims? Garaged or on the road?

Cheapest I can get for exactly the same bike is £480TPFT and I'm 26!!

Oh and buy yourself the double bubble screen Gus has got for sale in the bike room

 

try motorcycledirect for your insurance they undercut everyone by about 200 quid that was on an R6, your full bike tests easy mate i found it more relaxed becuase there was nobody sat next to you with a clipboard

 

yeah mate but there are questions there that apply to bikes only
its easy anyways

fair play to you for getting on and doing it at last! can i erase you from first bike dreamer of 2006?
sure there will be plenty more

 

You can erase me yes chop....finally


CBT DONE

Was cool to get out on the bike, and TBH i personally think i rode quite well considering. A bit wobbly on the U turn, hill start a tad wobbly but overall it went well. Theory test next then an assessment to see how many days it will take...

Costings

CBT 80
Theory 20
Test 55
Depending on training days be about 450-500.....

Then theres bike, helmet, gloves, boots, leathers. Im gonna be broke

 

Cheers Trude

 

Well done

 

hi all, i pay £600 on my ducati, first bike fully comp with bennets

 

Bennetts for me have been one of the more expensive. Im looking at 450 quid TPfT for a gixer 600 at 27yr old...1st bike nil ncb.
