hi guys,

Im looking into getting my full bike licence. I already have a cbt ect. I was wondering where abouts is best to take it? If anyone could let me know where they took theirs and how much it cost. that'll be great.

Cheers guys.

your location would help.. no point recommending a place in edinburgh if you are in cornwall ..

Sorry i didnt mean to offend you I live in the Midlands if thats any help

You might need to be a tad more specific than that mate, however if you live in staffordshire I highly recommend http://www.cbt2das.co.uk/
I used him myself and I passed first time with 5 minors in total about 3 months ago.
Hope this helps
Cheers, Nick

Do it somewhere familiar to you, its pointless going top a test centre thats in a town/city you don't even know, because you wont be familiar with the test routes. You've more chance of passing if you know the roads.

I took the quick route a couple of months ago because i'm old enough (23) to do the Direct Access. CBT cost me £80, Theory test cost about £40 (i think), Direct Access cost me £350 and that included the cost of the Mod1 and Mod2 test. I cant remember how much the tests were individually, bowt £50 each i think.

Did my training in Bolton, Mod1 in Bolton, and Mod2 in Blackburn

Well im actually located in leicester.

My local test centre wants 550 for both tests!! is this a good price?

WHAT??? £550 just for the actual tests? that's daylight robbery.
I took my Mod1 in Shrewsbury and my Mod2 in Newcastle-under-lyme, the whole thing cost me £90.50 (£15.50 for Mod1 and £75 for Mod2)

yes but when did you take your test? like what year?

I think its down to the rising demand of people wanting to take their bike test. Your right, i wouldnt even think about paying 550 for both tests. its absolutely stupid

actually 550 sounds quite reasonable , one of my work colleague is doing it now (past mod1) already and is costing him 640 all in ,, when i passed mine 2 years ago i paid 604 and 110 for a cbt in 2007 i still have the receipts and DID shop around for the best deal at the time,,,that's London prices

29th January 2010. £550 was about the cost of my training including the Mod1 and 2 tests.

Yes..

£550.00 sounds like the price for a DAS course.. direct access scheme which includes training and the exams.

You can do the tests without a bike school but you'll need to have the bike insured, it'll have to be over 45bhp and you'll have to trailer it there and back.

Or speak to a local bike school (yellow pages) and tell them how much training you want / don't want and get a price
