Stryker89 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Hi Everyone,Apologies if this question has been asked before I just can't seem to find a clear answer anywhere.First off, I have never taken any training courses or any tests with regards to driving a Motorbike, not in this country anyway (I used to drive a bike in South Africa about 12 years ago).Looking at my drivers licence I have Category A code 79(3) . . . which I understand means that I can drive a tricycle if I so wished.My question is, what exactly do I need to do to be able to get myself on a bike again?Do I just need to do Mod 1 & 2 or do I need to do some sort of CBT as well?This was so much easier in South Africa where it was a case of sitting a written test and they hand you a licence, no experience, no training. Easier, but by god not what I would call safe. Thanks in advance guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonio Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 You need to take Theory test for motorcycles CBT Practical test module 1 (off road, slow moving skills, hazard avoidance) Practical test module 2 (on road, general riding)You have to do the theory and the CBT before you can do mod 1, and you need mod 1 to sit mod 2. Also, once you've done the CBT, you can ride a 125 on L plates. Once you passed mod 2, you can ride without L plates. You may still be limited on the size of bike if your under 24, or if you took the tests on a small sized bike.You can do the theory yourself: just book online, do the homework and take the test. But you need to get in touch with a training school to get you through the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
