I dont think so, you should have provisional entitlement on you licence, I did anyway and I passed my car test in 2010, just double check though.

Im not sure how to check? my licence only shows dates on the B1 and B id like to ring DVA tomorrow but i dont think the

EDIT: Ah yes i found another thread with someone pointing to someone explaining entitlements and such and i see on my counterpart licence it says im entitled to A which is a motorcycle.

thank you

You can check your driving entitlements on the DVLA website. You'll need your driving licence number, national insurance number and postcode. Have a wander around the DVLA website and you'll find it.

If you have a full licence then you have a provisional bike on there too

thanks guys, can i ask is the Northwest 200 a bike race? sorry sounds a silly question but never been to any biking events around Northern Ireland before

Yes chum - it's the big one around Portrush and Portstewart. Practise starts this week and racing is next weekend.

Thursday night is usually a good night to watch the practice if you don't fancy heading to the main event.

Why does everyone feel the need to get their bike test or get their bike ready for it isnt it a professional race.

Im guessing they just like to come up with a bike to join in the meet ups ect ?

It's a bit like the TT except it's basically the British superbikes, on public road (TT is 30 sec interval releases rather than grid starts.

As a result, lots of bikers ride up to watch both. I fully plan to go to the NW200 on my bike, and I live berkshire/Hampshire way!

great enjoy guys hopefully ill be there next year
