    ok picture the scene,

    ferdi is standing there with his new honda 50....what does he need to do before he can take to the road?

    i'm clueless about tax, insurance, test etc

    what is the easiest and cheapest way for me to get on the road? i want to avoid riding one of those super loud scum-skooters thats why i'm thinking honda 50.

    i'm one of those bastard cyclists, i still want to stick with 2 wheels for now, please help me get petrol powered by giving me some info.

    Ferdi requires

    A provisional driving licence

    Tax for his vehicle

    And above both of these....
    Insurance

    Any more questions?

    yea honda 50`s have so much more street cred than super scum loud scooters , MY ARSE.I had a honda 50 before my ped and i had some hassle with it , my scooter is way more reliable.
    you`ll have to do the theory test , get an eye test , 15e charge for the license , insurance be around 1500 id say , tax 37 , oh get a good lock and wet gear too.
