  1. @goat Yeah I get that, though I think learning on a geared bike for me is a waste of time and therefore money. I'm tempted just to bite the bullet and walk a bike to a test centre, then have a go at the exam
  2. Hi all, I hope perhaps some of you can advise on something aim stuck with: best route to a full license. I've been riding 125cc scoots for over a decade between Manchester and Dundee on all sorts of roads and tracks and through the winter. I'm quite happy with automatics, don't really see the need for me to have a geared bike now that EVs and DCTs are anyway breaking the stigma. If I'm uncool or unmanly, so be it, I've got nothing to prove. I now want to upgrade so I can travel to the continent, carry a passenger and get on motorways. In theory my 125 can handle that, but not in a sensible way. I want to get a Piaggio Beverly 400 to more easily cope, which requires an A or A2 license. I want to get done before my son goes to secondary school in September, as he might need a ride. My problem is that though I can find hundreds of automatic driving schools for wannabe cagers, there's none for bikers. Especially up North? This leaves me with the option of faffing around with geared bikes which would cost me extra lessons for no benefit to me.. Or one where I go ahead and buy the bike to then use it for lessons and exams, which would restrict me to A2. Would that even be doable in terms of insurance etc? Does anyone have advice or prior experience of aiming for an auto bike license or buying a bike to do lessons and exams on? Also why does it have to be so difficult to get licensed for a bike? A moneyed 19 year old could get a license and a powerful SUV more easily than I could get a license for a far less lethal, far more sensible option.. Bit fed up of that.
