Practical Motorcycle Restricted License test (non CBTA)

[flashg]

I think in my day you were able to get a provisional license without a practical test which you could not do in a car and once you had passed your practical test you were not allowed to ride a bike over 250cc for a period of months maybe a year. No L plate was needed then either. I dont remember my practical test but did pass first time.

No restrictions on bike CC when I sat mine, as far as I remember. Didn't have the money for the bigger bikes, we rode what we could afford.

15 years and 1 week old I had a full car licence.

1 week later, 5 oral questions, get 3 right and I had a provisional bike licence.

6 weeks later, Ride around the block and I had a full Class A.

Remember when a car licence was a Class B? A truck was Class F, and a trailer was Class L.

When the "lifetime " licences came along, A became 6, B became 1, F became 2 and 4, and L became 3 and 5.

Ya gotta love the system.

I suggest you pull your head out your ass, and some moths out of your wallet ... and get some training.

Test format.

The CBTA method is usually the easiest method for a new rider to get a license. That you failed your assessment ... is not a good look. Increase your health/life insurance. You might need it soon if you continue to (try to) ride a motorcycle legally.

Learner licence application $48.20
Learner licence theory test $45.70
Restricted licence application $48.20
Restricted licence practical test $86.60²
Full licence application $49.60
Full licence practical test $59.90³
Total $338.20


Restricted License application fee ... plus the Practical test cost is $134.00

Continue to go to the test centers (and probably fail) ... and pay the required fees (probably again and again and ...). Obviously you do not need any more rider training ... as you already know it all.

Good luck with that ...

FJRider, Why did you even bother. Obviously you had a bad day or you have had enough of this life. I hope you find a better reason to live.

See where I am going with this by jumping to conclusions about you and your life, just like you did with mine.

Grow up and learn to respect if you wish to receive any back.

what goes on here?? a competition to see who's oldest??

ahhh.... then all those idiots that swapped that legal contract with their jew overlords for a "photo id"... to be renewed every 10 yearcs or some shit.

i still have a paper license somewhere... not that i ever use it.

Remember this post of yours ... ?? I wasn't "jumping to conclusions" after all ... Still riding a slow bike I see.

Kawasaki Ninja's look great and I am sure they are reliable. Would these bikes have enough power at lower rpm. Until I feel confident enough to be in control such powerful bikes, I feel it would be safer to ride something slow.

You don't even have the confidence to stick with your original post in this thread ... so you felt the need to edit it

Looking at the prices you quoted I feel like I got taken for a ride when I paid 150 bucks for my c b t a. Bloody pass masters. My tester was all goods and after reading the book he let me pass when I pulled into a driveway to turn around rather than do an u turn in a 100 zone.

I do the driveway thing when I'm on my FJ1200. It's a big long bitch to turn around on narrow/busy roads. Nothing illegal about it either ...

CBTA are the easiest way to get licensed ... but not the cheapest.

Yup. Was pretty stoked when he read out that it was ok.

Is it worth it to do the c b t a though? Apart from being tested by a biker and getting your full license earlier I don't remember there being a big difference between the two. Depending on the price of the full I may as well just go c b t a. It probably won't be much more.

As long as you listen to the advise they give you ... and change your riding to suit ... there wont/shouldn't be an issue.

Spend the time acting like they owe you a license and you know all you need to know already ... it probably wont end well.

The keyword is attitude ... your attitude when you ride will dictate a lot about how others treat you.

From what I remember he mainly talked about consistency and always doing head checks which I have endeavored to follow. I am still working out the silly out of the system.

Give the testers exactly what they require in the testing process ... until you are fully licensed. THEN ... ride however you like ... because you have your rights ... and fuck everybody else. (it's the Kiwi way ... apparently)

funny that, its pretty much how people seem to get a car licence, then the little dears on here moan about "fucking cagers" but when its "bikers" then the "fuck everybody else" rule applies.

If you didn't pass first time round, at least with a CBTA they will have given you clear info on what you need to improve.

I'd recommend you ride around and practise that stuff for a bit. Then go do the Ride Forever Bronze course. At $50 it's a steal, since they are coaching you on (a) not dying, and (b) passing the restricted test.
Then sit the CBTA again when you have that lot well practiced. If you are trying to rush through the system to legally ride a 'Busa/R6/turbine-powered GN*, then odds are better that you will end up part of an ACC report.

Rinse and repeat later with the Silver course/full CBTA.

It will probably make you a better rider and will definitely make it easier to pass the tests. I know I'd rather have someone tell me what and how I need to improve, rather than be given a check-sheet by Mr. 4wheels telling me what I failed on.



*I'd like to see that, just for shits and giggles.
