welshwan Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 you certainly will have to do the theory Andrew, and to the best of my knowledge it's £31
bippo Posted April 14, 2013 Author Posted April 14, 2013 Thanks Andrew! It cost me about £30, so not much. Sorry that's only an approximate, I had to book it over a month ago to get a weekend slot, so can't really remember and it isn't on my confirmation email. I could have got it out the way much sooner, but couldn't really make a weekday appointment. I'm afraid you do need to get a motorcycle theory test before you progress any further. Even if you'd done your car theory test a month before. It's a different question bank etc. I passed my car test just over 10 years ago and had to do the car theory then. It was only 35 question in a room with no one monitoring you. Very different now! 50 questions with hazard perception videos, individual pods and CCTV / in person monitoring.

Thanks for the info Beef, really good to know. I'll certainly look into them once I'm ready to book my lessons. Grouch - definitely get yours done, it's easy, cheap and lasts for 2 years. Then you'll find yourself in the same situation as me - just saving before attempting the final hurdles. I keep looking at the next bike I want for inspiration. It makes saving much easier!
Noise Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 A belated Congratulations Bip. All is good when you pass things. Also doing your test on a bigger bike is so much more easier than doing it on a 125, pulling away is less hassle and you can plod along with less stress too.
