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....]

car licence i did'nt have to do the theory, only cbt, so lucky i guess .
IF YOU NOW have to do the theory.

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

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
