What can I ride??

[AlanJ]

Hi. I'm confused on all the categories on my license.

It says (A 19:1:13 to 19:12:41

Can anyone let me know what it means and what I can ride? Passed my test in 94

Cheers

when you say "passed" do you mean you passed your bike test or car test?

if you passed a bike test in '94 whys it dated from 2013?

I was thinking the same after I replied

Even. Passed my car test in 94. How can I post an image. Looks like I need to host it somewhere ?

OK. ....so this means that you can ride a bike on a provisional entitlement I think....ie, you can ride a moped without l-plates, but you'll need to complete a CBT to ride a 125 with L-plates. Unless you've passed a specific bike test you'll have do the DAS to ride anything bigger than a 125.

Hope that this helps....

[AlanJ]

Thanks, yes it really helps. So I'm thinking about £1k for DAS? Just want something cheap ish, reliable and a bit of power for the fun times. Don't need a stupidly fast bike, just something to kickstart my midlife crises lol. Suggestions please

About the cost... The DAS+CBT+Theory test should come in at under a grand. Prices depend on where you live, and on how many retakes you're going to need! . If you budget a grand, I'd have thought that give you a bit to spare in case you fail something at some point and have to do the test again.

As for a bike, you can pick up older bikes that are still plenty fast enough and in reasonable nick for another grand or so. I'd have thought that anything much under 1000 will probably have something that will need sorting out. You can pay more but there's no need otfor your first bike. You will want to change it within a couple of years anyway.

You'll also need some gear. Apart from the helmet, you can pick up good stuff second hand on ebay and be kitted out easily for £150 + whatever you want to pay for a new lid.

Cheers for the info it's really useful. I'd kind of budgeted 1k for the test,thinking of a residential? And yeah roughly the same for a bike although I do fancy a 600rr

My Fazer 600 was £1300 from ebay. The engine is not much different than 600rr, but the position and the seat are much better

[AlanJ]

Ok ok.. Getting giddy now.... Need to do my test and get on 2 wheels

[AlanJ]

So after done thought I think the best option at the moment is to do my cbt and get some experience. A 125 will do for now. Don't want to run before I can walk. Any suggestions on a good 125? I don't really fancy a trials, kinda like the sports style.. But want something comfy

Thanks

Like Bonio says, a grand is over the top for DAS. Where abouts are you looking at getting tuition?

If I go for the full DAS then I'm based North west . So can go anywhere really. Think I'd do a residential course if the price was right. Even thought I've ridden bikes in my younger years along with a couple of scooters I'm thinking maybe jumping onto something big and fast might not be the best way forward. Like I said maybe 125 on a cbt.. Get my bike no claims in and then go from there. Can't use car no claims on a bike can I ?

[AlanJ]

Looking at my license it gives the impression I can ride Cat A from 9/1/13 ?

the code 79 dictates otherwise

it means you can only ride a trike on your car licence

 

79.03 - restricted to tricycles

Ah ok.... Although I've seen some cool trikes... Crap for traffic jams tho

[Lumor_uk]

got to be crazy to pay £1,000 for tests

I did theory £23

CBT £99

rode for 1 year no lessons

Mod 1 £15

Mod 2 £75

full bike licence after 2 years.

£212 quids in my old muckers, but I had time on my hand I guess at your age you're in a hurry to get things don't before popping your clogs.

[AlanJ]

PMSL... I ain't old you piss taker lol.

I'm liking your way of doing it... That's pretty cheap and really do-able. Got plenty of time m8.

Any good recommendations for a decent 125?

The north west? Give these guys a call and get them to quote you - http://www.roadrider.co.uk

I'm sorry to say but riding a 125 is completely different to a big bike , I was going to get experience riding a 125 prior to do it DAS but 125 motorcycles can be more expensive than getting a reasonable big bike. Once you've passed your DAS u have the option to get any bike u choose. Bite the bullet & get the test done u won't regret it !

Good luck with whatever choose

Skip the 125, do the DAS and jump on a 600.

You'll be fine

Yes I definitely agree, a 125 would be so frustrating lol. Get a 600+ it will change ur life haha
