hi there guys i havent been on this forum for a long time. I am currently looking into taking my A2 licence.I also have got stuck on a few details. Is the licence a 5 day cource or is there lessons ?
Do i have to do my theory as i have CBT and full uk car licence?

I have also narrowed the choice of bike down to CBR ,ZXR and RVF 400 could anyone describe some benefits and negitives of each ?

And Finaly i would like to know the adveradge cost of the licence including bike rental (adveradge).

well threatening doesnt usually work but i am ever so proud of my karma =]

ok answers afaik

the license is just a test i think you can book lessons or if you want an intensive training course which maybe the 5 day one Smile

dont think you would have to do your theory!

i reckon the A2 course will cost you including the bike rental a good few hundred quid although dont quote me on anything as i havent even done my CBT yet Laughing Mr. Green Thumbs Up

You will still have take a theory test to take your bike test.

As said above you can either choose to take individual lessons or an intensive training course (e.g. 3/5 days).

I did an intensive 5 day DAS course so some of it is not applicable to yourself.

Arrow First day was CBT
Arrow Second Day was out on a 125 just as a brief refresher
Arrow Third day was a conversion to 500cc (basically became a ride down to the coast)
Arrow Fourth day was practicing the required things (e.g. emergency stop, u-turn)
Arrow Fifth day was a quick going over any problems then with the test in the afternoon.

Obviously if you've already got your CBT, you won't need to do it again. Have a look through your yellow pages and ring around a few riding schools see what they offer.

Otherwise what area are you in there may be a few people on here local to you who can recommend a good riding school.

Also im glad we cleared that up jack w72 and yes allas i know i ask lots of questions i just like to know what to expect to give myself the best chance. Karma

Have a look on here :

Ahout half way down the page, it's got a pretty much complete summary of what the test entails.
