It is a legal requirement to gain a CBT certificate to ride any motorcycle or scooter on the road.

(This is required regardless of what other licence you hold. The exception being for riding a moped if you obtained your full car license before Feb 2001).

Fed up with "L" plates? Want to carry a passenger? Want a bigger bike? If the answer is yes to any of these questions then it time to think about taking the practical test.

So what's involved? How old do I have to be to ride a big bike? Is the new test a difficult as people say? Do I have to do a theory test?

Maybe you have a held a bike licence for some time and have decided to return to biking or perhaps you are moving up in bike size or power, now that your restricted licence 2 year period has come to an end.

What ever the reason, a refresher training course would be the ideal opportunity to re-evaluate your skills.

Want to move your riding on to the next level or just find out if you are as good as you think?

Perhaps you have been thinking about taking and advanced test to qualify for cheaper insurance or just for your own peace of mind.
