Yep I'm more than pleased with mine, its a flingable wee bike and very agile, great for the novice and older hands alike, and I think Yamaha are still doing the 'interest free buying' on these
you need to ask your instructor which package they do, all of them will probably take you through CBT, arrange a booking date for the theory then lessons and test all for a price, if you have your own bike you could arrange and then sit all 3 parts by yourself-if you feel your competent, my advice would be to spend the money and let an instructor guide you through from start to finish, HTH

"At the test centre you must present a valid certificate DL196 unless the test is being conducted on one of the exempted islands. A rider who is upgrading a full moped licence obtained by passing a two part test since December 1990 is exempt."
Way h a y, oh, its you Kev
I wondered where you'd went, grass not greener then?
you've missed lots of stuff, like,,,em,,,anyhoo
the forums even got a song now
Welcome to the 'ward' Hoon , you've come to the right place, we even have a club song-with a simple dance to go with it, once you've sung it a couple of times out loud at home- you can move onto the dance moves (best practised out in your garden)
"Old guy, there's no need to feel down
I said Old guy, its the best place in town
you can meet all the gang
you can have a good time,
you can do anything you feel
Its fun to visit the Y---O----C,

Well done Fraz, and all the best with the next stage, controlling the bike I'd say is the easy bit, convincing an examiner that you've got eyes on the side and back of your head is a little harder
good luck !
