I can't seem to find a clear answer to this. How long does it take to get your full licence from the day the Mod 2 examiner takes it from you when you pass? I'm assuming you can't hire a bike until you have this in your hand...

How long is a piece of string? This is the DVLA you are asking about!

You will have a pass certificate that might be acceptable to the hiring company.

I doubt you would be able to hire a bike JUST after passing your test.

"Yes sir, do take this bike for the weekend worth £7k without any experience..."
...
"You dropped it, well that would be your deposit fucked then"

Out of interest why do you want to hire one straight away?

Baptism of fire. A bike tour of some scenic routes along the West of England. The hirers are ok, as long as we've had a car licence some time, good NCB, (and we're all over 30), so we're not some fly by night rapscallions looking to do the helicopter past some screaming perma-tan bints knuckle deep in their fish and chips & Watney's Party 7 Laughing

You would if you hired the Striple instead of the WK.

I think it took about 2 weeks to get mine through.

With counterparts being done away with, hire companies will want to check your license details online anyway:

https://www.gov.uk/view-driving-licence

The actual physical card isn't really significant any more except as a form of ID.

Thanks, that's what I was hoping. The important part is essentially online. Whether they see it that way is another point entirely. I best give them a call

Baptism of fire indeed. May not be the fun and frolics you envisage.

Good luck anyway Thumbs Up

Presumably they mean "any sorts".

Decent range of bikes
https://www.motorcycles2hire.co.uk/motorcycle-hire/

Prices aren't mental either, £50 - £75 a day.

I have family that choose to live in Warrington. I don't visit. They're obviously mental Laughing
