A2 Test.

[Dan 4RR]

Hi.

I'm thinking about booking my A2 test as soon as possible so I can buy my friends CBR 400. From what I've gathered it consists of 2.5/3.5 days, the full days practicing on a 125 and then on the half day is the test day. But my friend told it might be wiser to book a few practice sessions before hand since I only ride a 50cc scooter , so therefore I'm not used to gears, but I have been riding now for nearly 18 months now, so I've got a fair bit of road sense. Have I got this correct & would it be wise to book a few practice sessions?

Cheers.

If your doing 'days' the is that not the practice sessions?

I had no training before i did 4 days (although i new how to drive a car and had been on a ped once or twice ) Past my test (which was on a seperate day to the training) with 3 minors. Great fun too!

Well, I know how to drive a car if that makes it any better. On the practice sessions, or full 'days' is it basic manovers like emergency stop & 'U' turn, etc? What bike did you do your test on Grovve? Cheers.

I'm doing exactly the same as you, and took 1 2 hour lesson. Then they told me what I needed, and I only needed 1 days intensive plus the test. I suggest taking one lesson, so they can check you out, see how much you will need.

Did my test on some CBF125 or somthing that was at the trainging centre i went to.

Also following on from Rookies post, some places will do a free lesson

You will need to get the 400 restricted, as it's somewhat over the 33 bhp limit.
