Hi there from London
 

Hi there guys!Its nice to see that there is a place for Ducati enthusiasts!!!
The forum looks really nice!
To introduce my self!My name is Nick and I come from Greece!I am currently living in London and I would like to obtain a drivers license for a motorcycle!
So I was wondering if someone could provide some information about the cost etc...

Nice to be here!

I wish you all safe and sound cycle rides!

Sorry can't he;p with advice as its 34 years since I did my test
Just thought I'd say Hi

No worries :)

Thnx for the welcoming :)

welcome. As for cost, probably best to speak to a local training school. I am relative new to biking, 5 or 6 years I think, but already the test is different to when I passed.

It will depend a lot on your previous experience as well as how quickly you pick things up,

Try Southern Rider Training. They are based South East and I used them.

Good luck! :D

just 34 years skids?! :lol:

welcome aboard. Have a look on Motrocycle News website - they are bound to have links from there to what you need

Thank you for the answers guys! I ll look into things and I will let you know! I hope its not too expensive:P
As for experience I dont have any but I hope I ll catch up things fast as you say :P

damn its really complex to get a license here!!!!
the site indeed had most of the information needed !I will try to find extra information in a close by driving center or something!:)

I was wondering!If you know how to drive u just have to take the tests right?

Welcome to the DSC, Do you have a bike license from Greece ?

No but a friend here can teach me how to ride with gears!

Welcome Tonionio:)

Thank you man :) Enjoy your rides :)
Do you happen to know if I can go for the license without taking lessons?

I believe you would need to do the CBT (compulsory basic training) which is a 1 day course. Classroom, some manouveurs in a carpark, and some supervised road riding. Very straightforward and almost everyone passes so you'll be fine.

That allows you to ride a 125cc on your own for 2 years with L plates on, or have lessons on a 500 with an instructor.

So, short term you could do the CBT and get riding a small bike within a day. I assume you would need the CBT before you could take the test, and I would recommend at least a couple of lessons to get used to UK roads and be "taught" how to pass the test. Being a good rider won't mean you pass, and passing won't mean you are a good rider! A few lessons will teach you "how to pass".

Call a training school in the morning for more info though as I haven't read up on it for a few years and things change...
