So you think you want a motorcycle? (5 Viewers)

[ay0_x]

do you already know how to drive ay0 m8?

bike or car? car yes, bike..

Not yet, no point doing the course until I can actually get the bike IMO (still got a while until mum leaves the country so she doesn't decide to torch it)

 

[quik.]

Earlier you get L's the earlier you can take P's and start the 3 year grind

HOW HARD IS IT TO BALANCE??!?!

Thanks. No modifications, so the bikes you already suggested... wouldn't have that problem if they were in original condition?

Generally not. Racing modifications are generally done on top of the dealer specifications, not done during the manufacturing process (some bikes however are). It would be best to ask the dealer about this as well.

seriously though buy my bike
it is perfect for a learner
its a bit tall but only because i have made it that way cos im 183cm
i can drop it way down and a 160cm girl should be able to handle it easily.
50kg lighter than an equivalent roadbike
if you crash it, there isnt even anything to break.

hi guys umm
how is the 2 days prelearners training course like?
what does it consist of etc
is it easy to ride a motorcycle? like change gears and stuff

 

[SnowFox]

If i can pass it, you can pass it.

They take you through everything, including how to change gears. Just make sure you get a decent bike. I failed the 2nd day because the clutch wouldnt work properly. Went back to do it again and watched the bike i was using, being used by another learner, fucking up on him.

at low speeds your first day at the pre learners course, it can be challenging sometimes:angry:

The pre learner test will show you how to do that sort of stuff, basic checks on your motorcycle, starting motorcycle, prevention of stalling, changing gears, basic handling, emergency braking, probably some hazard avoidance.

The one you need to do for your p's is here:

Yeah. The fucking Daelim cruisers are fuckers to navigate on.

 

[Riet]

The pre-learners course consists of standing quarter miles, braking test and the final thing you must do is complete a flying lap within 10% of Casey Stoner's record on the same track.

My P1 licence expires today. Didn't realise the RTA closes at midday saturday. Won't be valid when I'm driving all day for work on Monday...

Anyone know what happens with an expired Ps licence? Hope I don't have to resit testing, and can go straight in and renew my expired licence.

This is my P's car licence, still hold my full motorcycle licence.

[John McCain]

are you serious

 

[Azamakumar]

yeah fairly sure
my friends've had to resit their ls when they expired
dont think p's are different

 

[John McCain]

Sweet, I was afraid you knew something I didn't.

But nah, the rta website says on renewing that yeah, if your L's expire "the licensee must again pass knowledge and eyesight tests", but for P's it just says do whatever, fuck it.

Got the clutch boss back for my bike from the Machine shop today, need to put a helicoil in the hole. FZRs make awesome fighters, going to go down that route.

 

[runoutofsleep]

no extra fee even

or just get your p2
