Posted: 00:04 - 17 Oct 2020 Post subject: Getting Full License |
|
|
Hello,
Today I have passed the theory test. Had the CBT for a year, and been driving 125cc to work every day (even in snow )
I'm 27, so I'm thinking about getting full licence.
What's the best way to get it ?
Was thinking about getting a 600cc bike, insure it and let my friend drive it to the test. But then he had hip operation I could take it with the van from work.
Or just do the Direct access 3 days, 17 hours - £500 + £100 test fees.
Or just do the lets say 3 lessons, £35 per hour on 600cc and then do the one day DAS with motorcycle hire for £220.
All I would need is to get used to the bigger bike, 125cc weights 150 kg anyway, so extra 30 kg won't be big deal for 105 kg person

Are the prices alright on that website ?

3 day course. The mod1 has little resemblance to the real world, so having some training on it makes all the difference. Mod2 training in the area you're doing your test; your instructor will probably take you to known awkward junctions the testers go to, again worth its weight in gold so you're prepared. As mentioned, your riding may need a bit of touching up after a year of riding about too. A 600cc bike (if you mean a 600 4 pot) is probably a poor choice for doing your tests on; you want something with low down torque for control on slow speed stuff (it's not impossible on a 600/4 obviously, but it's harder because of their characteristics). I can imagine accelerating on the mod1 from the corner to the speed trap would be "interesting" on that sort of bike. Chances are any school will be running a twin of some sort which would be far more manageable.
Right now with test availability so rubbish, you want to be doing everything you can to pass first time.
Good luck and let us know how you get on. ____________________ TG. |
