Good on yer
You're old enough for direct access. This means you have to take a cbt, but can then ride a 500/600 cc bike for your full test which avoids being restricted to 125cc for two years. There's more info from the the DSA site in the link. You could try www.mcnninjas.co.uk. There's a few instructors there, and many people who have done what you want to and can answer your questions. Bikes are great, you'll experience travel like you never can in a car. But it can have its down sides. Respect that, and enjoy |
