    Hi all,can anybody tell me if you are allowed to overhang the bay at the front and or the back as I think you can only park adjacent (90 degrees) to the kirb and not at an angle, there are bays near my work where only a Vespa can fit and my DT looks longer please let us know

    Thanks gents I paid £120 for a weekend slot but its £100 for a week day but I did see some for £80 but where I went it was nearer Yes I used there little Honda zoomer took a while to get used to but it was fine I think you can use your own and it's probably cheaper but you need all your bike documents with on the day Just need some insurance now

  10. hi the A category lets me ride a 50cc no CBT mo L plates
  11. I found this on the net Q I did my CBT on a 50cc moped scooter, I'm now 17 can I ride a 125cc geared machine A Yes. The CBT certificate (DL196) is valid for moped riding at 16 and 125cc riding at 17 and older. (subject to L-Plates, mot tax etc.). However it may be sensible to think about some Gearbox Training if you are moving from an automatic to a geared / manual motorcycle.

  13. I'm 45 and I got my full drivivg licence in 1985 but I must of not ticked the motorcycle entitlement back then so that's why I can legally only ride a 50cc on the road without L plates and do the CBT on a 50cc,Gerry
  14. Cheers Pete yes my old paper driving licence has groups A and E and A is got 50cc only so once the CBT is done ill have to send off to the DVLA to get the 125cc entitlement

  16. Like you said Ken what a grey area one school said I could do the test on a 125cc on the road cause I was with an instructor and others are saying a 50cc one thing I know they should be saying the same thing
  17. sounds right as he was 16 he had to take it on a 50cc , I think i`m just missing the 125cc entitlement on my licence

    Hi all I'm taking my CBT this Saturday and apparently I'm doing it on a 50cc geared or auto I don't know because I haven't a 125cc entitlement on my licence but the instructor is telling me that if I pass I then send my licence off to add a 125cc entitlement and then I can ride a 125cc with L plates no passengers and no motorway is this right because they knew my situation before I paid for the course please could all of you try and help me out on this one cheers Gerry

    Thanks for your comments, blackhat250 i`m wearing a yellow hi viz over my jacket when riding,but thinking to get some reflective Yamaha stickers for the rear swing arm, what do you think cause without the hi viz i`m looking a bit like a stealth version of street hawk Was thinking of using a black hi viz vest but could be more dangerous
