Guest Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 CBT - £80-£120 (depending on where you go)Theory test - £31Mod 1 - £16Mod 2 - £75Bike- £600-ish?Insurance -£200-£400Lessons aren't necessary, if you want them they are more expensive than car lessons. But you could do like a three or four day course with a riding school for around £500 which includes bike hire and test fees. Then you could buy a bigger bike o last you longer straight away.

rennie Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 a life saver is when you look over your shoulder prior to doing anything to make sure there's nothing there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bogof Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 ops. dp. as a side note, what is a lifesaver? cheers Serious point: It's questions like this that make the statement "Lessons aren't necessary" the biggest load of bollocks ever!Whilst it is possible to pass the test without professional training, I strongly advise you to get yourself some lessons. They may just teach you how to stay alive on a bike, something that you don't necessarily get just by passing a test Would you let a doctor perform open heart surgery on you if he had learnt his skill from Google, or fly on a commercial flight where the pilot learnt to fly from reading lots of forums? Further reading for those who think you can skip professional training and simply self-train by reading... http://www.begin-motorcycling.co.uk/rospa5.htmOh, and you should also consider a sex change, since men account for 93% of motorcyclist deaths and 88% of total motorcyclist casualties. It's safer to be a woman on a bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
