• On a driving licence where category A is restricted to tricycles (worth a snigger there) I'm assuming that for a provisional motorcycle licence the DVLA would issue one with a "P" in column 12, row A?

    Yes, I'm that old that I have forgotten whether or not I applied for said provisional over the years.

    It appears I can just buy a 50cc scooter and ride that with no L plates, and no training, which is somewhat worrying but hey - what's the worst that could happen.

  • I’m pretty sure you have a bike provisional by default if you have a car licence. The tricycle thing will have a caveat about having a physical disability (else you have to take a full motorbike test).

    You will not enjoy a 50cc anything!

    Disagree:

    Or do you mean Dammit specifically? I which case, maybe you have a point. Not a great deal of torque.

  • Depending how old the licence is, you can ride certain 50cc without out L plates but good luck in getting insurance with out a CBT.

    Had my insurance for my multistrada cancelled as I could produce a valid CBT! CSB
