Motorcycle License #328

Open nelsonic opened 7 years ago

nelsonic commented 7 years ago

I've often said that if I ever got a motorcycle I wouldn't ride my (pedal) bike again... Like most humans I have a tendency toward laziness and if I had a motorbike I would probably end up using it most of the time. So, with that in mind, I'm not proposing buying a motorcycle! However, I am thinking of getting a motor cycle license so that I can go for the odd "day trip" with my future wife and father-in-law (who is a major bike-lover and has ridden all over Europe!)

@iteles given that you don't have a UK driving License or much time for that matter, I propose that only I get the bike license for now. You will be able to ride with me and if you ever get sick of being a "passenger" you can always get your own license... 😉

Could get one of these for cash and go on an epic road trip: image Joking aside a reliable motorbike would be a really good form of transport in #PhaseTwo ...

Going to go to: http://www.eastsiderider.co.uk/ Looks like the CBT is £125 and the Theory Exam is £25 .then depending on the number of lessons required it could be a couple of hundred ... .then the exam is £95 so all in should be about £500 ... which seems like a lot for something I'm rarely going to use. but it might come in handy.

@iteles we don't appear to have anything scheduled for the 28th April 2018: image

Can I book my CBT for that day?

iteles commented 6 years ago

A Saturday? Sure. We don't have anything booked.

nelsonic commented 6 years ago

@iteles yeah, the training lasts the "whole day" so a Saturday is the only day I can do ... just checking if we have any guests or you have plans for anything?

iteles commented 6 years ago

Nothing I can think of that would keep you from doing the day.
