What motorbikes can I legally ride?

CBT isn't a test it's just training so you can't fail, but they can ask you to come back for more training.

Basically you spend 2-3 hours riding around a car park learning how to control a bike and the basic rules of the road, then another few hours riding on the road. I didn't think anyone could fail it but apparently it's quite common for silly chavs on 50ccs to mess around so much they are refused a certificate.

When I did it it was £95 but when I paid for my bruv to do it last december it was £130

if you fall off you can fail surely lol!

 

[Ollyc90]

Nope lol, only if you do it in a a dangerous manner, or fail to get back up again.

In the carpark whilst doing a tight turn my clutch hand cramped up and I took it offroad through a field. I still passed lol

can you ride road legal quads on the road with a car license?

 

[Ollyc90]

Yeah, quads aren't as fun as people think they are. They don't like going round corners, and they're really slow unless you got big money

i was looking at getting a yamaha raptor they do one in a 900cc i think

 

[Ollyc90]

Lol, you'll kill yerself. I might buy one of the cheapo import 150cc ones and weld in my CBR400 engine just for giggles.

The problem is they're chav magnets, not only will you attract every orange-tan girl in the town it'll probably be stolen by a midget in a burberry cap while you go into the petrol station to pay for the fuel.

I'd ride them off road but on the road they're really no fun, all the downsides of a bike with no upsides
