Thanks, I was hoping that cause I booked on direct.gov, there practise test would be roughly the same, but I shall go and get the one from morrisons tomorow, thanks again

I have been doing some of them on the Internet, an due to it being booked in for next Wednesday, I may not get very long to use the disk, of course depending on how they send it etc

Theory test is booked, anyone got any advise on it? Saw on the news about all the bikes that rode the tribute for the soldier that died, urged me to get it done sooner, would love to be able to do it some day myself

Could end up losing a lot though

Already on that, my friend works at the test centre that's near me, just called him and asked him to sort it for me, plus got a nice discount due to knowing him, seems to be going well for me up to yet!

thats what i was thinking, i have been looking at honda varadero's and most of them seem to be around the same price, no matter how old it is, so i thought if i brought one of those and kept it for like 6 months and sold it, i shouldn't make a big loss if any as long as the bike stays the right way!

i'm finding this a little confusing, i just saw another post (not sure when it was made) about how long people was riding a 125 before the test, an a lot of people who answered had actually been riding them for a while before the test for practise and some still failed. which is making me wonder if i would be better buying a 125 for a couple of months, i not long ago turned 17, and just been payed £3250 compensation from an accident i had on my scooter not long after i had it last year, so i thought i sell my scooter for around £600 plus money i have saved this year, ill have around £5000 to spend all together, i dont really want to spend most of that re doing my test cause i failed so many times, i can sell a 125 after i have used it to learn on, but i can't get my money back from the tests i have failed

thanks, i have been told by a couple of people that have been driving for years that i could do it, but its just the worry of spending god knows how much on the test to fail, i have drove my brothers 125 a couple of times, and going up through the gears i find it easy, although for some reason i find it hard to go back down them and he isn't really much help with it either. may as well ask you guys, when going down through gears, after changing down a gear, would i need to build the revs up at all before going down another?, cause i have checked on the internet and there are way too many sites that say different things. thanks again for the posts

hi, i have been riding now for just over a year but on a scooter and want to do the full bike test now, but im unsure about gears so i thought i should buy a 125 and get a couple of months of practise in but people keep telling me i should just go for the test after a couple of lessons instead, what do you think i should do? also if you think i should buy a 125, would it be worth me buying a newer bike that i know won't break down etc?, or one that is cheap as it is just to learn on and will be sold after a couple of months if the test goes well? thanks for reading and any comments will be appreciated!
