Thanks for that PaPa very interesting

Did we ever get a definitive answer to what size bike you can ride on a car licence (grandfathers rights) and if pillions are allowed, any one know to save me trawling??

This is from http://www.stordvd.com/?page=home

I found this in the FAQ section - there's loads more in this Question and Answer format.

I have a full car licence, what can I ride?
If your licence was issued before 1st February 2001, then you can ride a 50cc moped, capable of not more than 30mph. Strangely enough, you will not need to display L plates, and you can carry a passenger if the bike has a passenger seat and rear footrests. If you want to ride a bike of over 50cc, up to 125cc, you must take Compulsory Basic Training (CBT), you must display L plates, and you must not carry passengers. The CBT certificate is valid for 2 years

What if my full car licence was issued after 1st February 2001?
You will need to take Compulsory Basic training (CBT). Once you have completed this course, you will be able to ride a 50cc moped without L plates, until your licence expires at age 70, and you will also be able to ride a bike of up to 125cc with L plates (no passengers allowed) for 2 years from the date you completed the CBT course.

I have a full car licence, do I need to do a theory test and take CBT to get a full bike licence?
Yes. Everyone must take a motorcycle theory test and CBT before they can take the motorcycle practical test. The only exception is for someone who has already passed a Motorcycle or Moped test, and wants to upgrade to a higher power machine

HTH

PS I really think we should remove any reference to HA

They are very protective about use or even mention of their registered trade mark (it's true) and I would not like for motorhomers in general to have incurred their wrath - albeit innocently.

May I suggest an edit of the original title and any subsequent mention to avoid appearing in search engines etc?

Passed my test 1970 as needed to for street cred as first 250cc Honda was quick but needed 650cc bonnie then 750 cc Norton which were proper machine (till I was 17 that is and then 4 wheels was then the necessity)

All my school mates were girlie's and road around on little wheel machines with 175 cc max with many mirrors, lights, and wrought ironwork and funny coats called Parkers

These machines were to slow didn't fit in with my hells angel/rocker lifestyle.

Born again now apparently didn't feel a thing.

Now i have a really big toy

But now i've been looking at motorcycles/scooters , there appears to be quite a lot of new Chinese machines about for not a lot of money.
Has anybody got any experiance of these or advice even
What would you do car or bike?

Don`t Know about hells angel we tow a vespa 125 twist and go behind our Bessacarr 795 I have been driving for many years but had to take a test for the scooter amazing how out of touch you can be, i enjoyed the whole learning process. the scooter has taken us out all over the placewhen we were abroad it got us all over Gibralter, down to beach along the costa`s and great down the lanes in this country , just back from Italy the vespa was at home round Lake Garda. The trailer we use is a box trailer which also carries the 2 push bikes and a inflatable sailing dinghy. needless to say i am biased but it all works for me

Lawrence - thanks for that - I'm interested in a box trailer for my bike for a variety of reasons

Keep the bike clean while travelling
Keep the bike out of view when parked up
Carry other stuff

What trailer have you got? and how easy is it to tie the scooter down in there - does the roof lift to get in or is it a HUGE trailer?

Cheers

Dave

Tony -

I'm saying that when other people start using their name, they get annoyed.
Honour and defending their usage of the Club name and colours is NOT a game.

And if you'd ever been inside the Club or really know any of the guys and understood the Club, you wouldn't have had to ask me what I meant.

AFFA.
