when I get to Oz, I am planning on going to work by motorbike.

At the moment I am looking at getting my license over her in holland, but it will probalby cost about €1400.00 (aus$ 2000) for a 10 day course. I have ridden an owned motorbikes briefly here, but never had a license.

my question is, is it better to wait till I get to Oz, or is it better to get my license here ? (i'll be short on spare time when I arrive)

Another thing, I need the price for a new Kawa VN900 classic. I will be buying one in Oz, but I can't seem to find a price on the net.

BTW whats the scene in Oz for Bikers ? I saw plenty in the yarra ranges recently, but the rest of the roads seemed fairly quiet ( not many bikes)

Take it in Holland but make sure it is valid in Oz as my brother took his in stages :125 then 250 for a year then a full licence, I am not too sure on it but the Oz system is different to the u.k.
You do not want to waste your money.

See plenty of bikes in Perth by the way.

thanks ade, but as I thought, no price for this bike. It's only been out for about a month, so not a lot of info on the web.

for any bikers out there, I was seriously looking at the Harley night rod, but I think that might be overkill for my first real bike



serious drooling material

Halycycon 52, over here for old bastards like me, i can take the 250 cc plus license straight away (enough driving experience) so I was thinking get it over and done with here, but wait until Oz to buy a bike. I thought if maybe
Oz is that much cheaper I might wait.

Have to agree, very nice

Hi Fk.
How does it work with the experience thing. I want to take a full bike test as I only have a cbt in the u.k but have held off because I did not want to do my balls on expense in the U.k and then take it again in Oz.

Thanks for any advice - James

when you see something like this, it's got to be worth spending aus$ 30K.

If you agree, can you please PM the wife

That was similar to a line from the hitcher if I am not mistaken :scared:

Tell ya what though Paul........ you get one of them and get the missus a Rampant Rabbit to ride

I don't really know , from what I have read and heard, it's the same set up as a drivers license. You might have to take some kind of test, but normally it's just a formality getting a UK (or other foreign license) transferred to an Oz license.
