Quick reply as I am off to work in a few mins.
For a provisional M/C liscense you must pass a CBT (compulsary basic training).
This will normaly take 1 day but as with all tests, could take longer. It is down to the assesment of the trainers.
If after 2 years you have not progressed to the stage 1 of a full liscense (passed your first proper test that allows you to ride a bike with power of no greater then 34bhp I think) you lose your provisional entitlement.
It used to be that you lost it for 2 years but I think this may have changed.

not sure how old you are, but if you passed you car test a vey long time ago thier is a posabilty that you don't need to CBT, but you are restricted to 50cc with L-plate. but it's something like passing it 20 years's ago :lol:
gords:
There used to be 1 week intensive courses that would teach you how to ride and get you through the necessary tests - don't know if they (independent companies, not the government!) still run them though.
What's the traffic like where you travel? Bikes are great and I've spent many years riding, but no matter how good you are, you are at the mercy of more and more prat car drivers who couldn't see bright yellow artic with huge flashing lights on it ... let alone a small skinny motorbike :roll: Don't mean to put you off, just make sure you've really thought about it :wink:
There's nothing better than always getting to the front of the queue at traffic lights, junctions, etc. Except maybe a good blast down a twisty country road on a dry, warm, sunny day :D Oh no, don't get me started :shock: I can't afford another bike........
