Fraud is fraud.

If you say one part of the requirement can be disregarded, then any part can be disregarded.

So, get someone to take the test for you.

I'm really not sure why you are arguing the toss on this. I'm assuming some sort of congnative disability.

Its up to 'you' to prove the vehicle you bring for test is suitable, not up to the examiner to prove it. So, when you rock up on your 'custom' ratbobber with crudely hacksawed slashcuts, matt black rattlecan paintjob, and shitty brown pleather seat, he is perfectly entitled to say 'I don't believe this is suitable for test, off you fuck Chuckles' and go make himself a cuppa and laugh about your stupidity to his colleagues. Just beg or borrow a 125 and do shit properly.

And thats exactly why I used a training school's CG125 rather than my hanging but far faster RG125 to take my test in '92.

To make it clear, you had to pass on a 125 or smaller back then and you got a full license.

Fucking hateful thing. the instructor pissed himself at one point when I tried ducking down to make it faster and said ' that won't make it faster'.

And it was faster than your POS.

So you have spent the last three weeks going on about taking an A1 test (which is pointless) on a bike that cannot meet the requirements of the test and you really don't think it won't be noticed?

Bear in mind that you will be literally be the only person in the country doing an A1 test because it's pointless. The A1 category is simply to create a category where people can ride round on L plates.

Ok, i'll give you another incentive to do it properly. Out our way theres an ATB, a well respected, long standing ATB, who fucked up. He got a new bike for DAS that didn't quite fit the criteria. He did a number of courses with it, then one of the examiners twigged that the bike wasn't suitable. so the DVLA revoked every single licence that had been issued to candidates using that bike. So, do they check, yes, if they feel like it, or, if they don't feel the bike is 'right'. So, please, try your luck, let us know how it goes.
No, I won't name the school, Pinky 'might' know who it was, coz we've got mutual friends in the industry who also know said ATB, but, there again, he might not.

This is so fucking hilarious to read - not a patch on JizzBummy's levels of retardation but a damn good try.

Go for your test with your 100cc bike and claim its a 125cc. You will be absolutely fine, no trouble at all

Pass the popcorn

I hear you all, this all just started with an innocent question and I do believe if I were to take my bike to the test centre they would do some form of check and I would be out the door before I even got in.

However, that doesn't satisfy for me the question of what's the difference between taking the test on a 100cc and a 120cc bike? Why would I be deemed incapable even if I did everything required?

Only skimmed it but reckon this to be BCF's most tedious thread.

Again Pinky you are miss interpreting my responses, not once have I said it's not fair, I'm not questioning the rules set out by the DVSA, I'm not looking to change them, I was just questioning why you and others in here were getting so angry at what I was planning on doing.

The DVSA wasn't calling me a cheat, a fraud etc etc, you guys in here were, so I was asking YOU GUYS "what's the difference?" to validate your opinions because you were all so vocal about it and so opinionated , but yet again you haven't actually answered why YOU PERSONALLY think the 100cc isn't suitable compared to a 125cc to give credence to your other responses. But alas, you're unable to think with your own mind and just parrot the rules back to me, but I know the rules.

A rational response from someone would be "they'll probably check the bike and tell you it's not suitable, but if you want to give it a try, that's up to you". And then they would have moved on with their day, not giving me a second thought. But instead I was instantly met with anger, name calling and attempted belittlement.

Maybe it's just a forum full of angry men hunched over their PCs looking for anything to vent their frustrations at, I've not looked around enough to see if that's just the vibe here, or perhaps I've inadvertently touched a nerve that I can't quite understand. Either way, it's been an interesting one, a simple question with some firey answers, I won't dare to come on here to announce I got my "totally useless A1 license" on my "peice of shit bike" in fear of starting world war three.

It was mentioned that 100cc might not be enough to get up to speed for the emergency aka controlled stop, and/or the swerve.

I don't know if this is true and neither do you. But it's a compelling and potentially objective factor that has little to do with personal prejudices.

The terse reactions you're encountering ITT are probably due to a low tolerance for smart-arse borderline autistic nitpickery. There may be grey areas. There may be unintended latitude here and there. There may be omissions, mistakes and ultimately unworkable wordings and requirements. But the letter of the legalities are less important than their spirit. And the spirit of it is pretty plain.

Weaselling and waffling are annoying at the best of times. Trying to chisel away at the small print is counterproductive. If you'd charged yourself ten quid an hour for all the time you'd wasted on this crap you'd probably have enough saved to have got an A1 license via a bike school.
