at what point in riding would you reccoment doing the full UK bike liscence? ive been riding a 125 on l-plates for a few months and i feel confidant but when would be best as i dont want to spend like 600 pounds on the test to fail help appreciated thanks

 

Kinda strange question on a stunt forum

 

ahh well ive been attempting a few stunts on my 125 but i want more power so its a casual question

 

If ya did pass ya test i wouldnt be using your nice clean licence for learning stunts on the road !!! The cops will only be picking ya up off the road and taking your licence back again
Am i sounding like ya parents ??? Sorry

 

nahh not like my parents they think that i only want the bike for commuting :S haha and a friend has a farm so id learn there just so that if... well when i do go down lol it wont effect anybody else on the roads

 

u don't need more power we got a young lad that rides with us on a cg125 and he pretty much has circles down on it, murder the cg then when thats dead move on to a bigger bike.

 

Just do it. I walked into a bike shop just to have a look I saw a bike I liked and just bought it. Then I thought **** I best pass my test before next Friday when I was supposed to collect it.

I had a lesson on the Sat took the bike home went back Sunday for another lesson passed my test on Wednesday.

But like Vandal says, you have to be careful on the roads

 

+1

 

so ill just get good on the 125 well good advice thanks lads and clunatic i couldnt buy a new showroom bike yet lol im working part time dam recession but good advise everyone thanks

 

Just do your test ASAP. If you wait the prices might go up and they keep wanting to make it hader (i cannot back that up). I did my training/test in a four day block. Dont over think it, its not a big deal.

Also forget what everybody says about crashing and all that. Just be carefull and know your ability. I've heard so much stuff over the years that i practically **** myself everytime i put my helmet on. Thats not the way to be. Just say **** it and ride.

Good luck

 

cheers D ill put aside a good chunk of my wages each month and ill prob have the test done before next summer i hope

 

These lads are on 50cc's might give you some inspriation

thats a sweet video now i find myself pulled in two directions keep the 125 and modify for stunting or go full test.... hmmm i could comprimise and use the 125 for another year wouldnt do any harm!!

 

Why not just get your test done anyway?

 

it would take alot of saving as i work part time and i want to be ready so i dont fail and have to pay again.

 

I would stay with the 125 and pass your test asap before the ***** change the law again. I did a das thing, after I could ride any size. It was a weeks course with guarantee pass, as far as I remember £400.

If ya can't afford then get another p/t job.

 

i can only use a part time job because of collage atm and the 1 near me in folkestone was 600 so not good lol i have like 300 asside atm and id say ill be able to keep about 50-70 per month so by next summer im hoping to pass + i dont want my first times with lots of power in the pouring rain!! lol

 

i'd get your test done as soon as, keep the 125 and stunt it, at least you'll have your licence done with the option of getting a bigger bike later.

test centres arnt out there to fail you, a lot of schools are guaranteed passes, if you did fail you only have to pay for the test again not another riding course.

how many months have you been riding on the road???

 

Im just assuming but im sure you've got loads of random stuff lying around that you could sell. That would raise a little bit of cash and it would leave you with less clutter. Just a thought.

 

Deffo just do licence.
Bike test was easiest test of my life. Its so laid back, and its so different from a car test!
I even lost my instructer, and I was on a YBR 125 lol.
