    Quick one for you guys.

    Just flicking through the RSA book. Rules for Motorcyclists start on page 147 and end on Page 154. This seems very short. Is there a seperate book for motorcycles? I want to brush up for my theory test.

    All the other road rules apply also (i.e. those in the car section) - so you'll need to learn the other sections too. The motorbike section can be consider supplemental material to the first 150 odd pages.

    The test is very similar to the car one - as much of the same rules obviously apply (red lights, etc). The specific motorbike stuff is really around road positioning and maneuvers such as in a right-hand bend with a truck where should you be positioned, the command position, etc.

    TBH I've been driving for 17 years and only biking 2, I didn't focus too much on the car stuff, only on the biker stuff and found it ok.

    I know it is another test, but there has to be some commonality between tests.

    Thats the wrong book for the theory test Richard.

    This is the correct one.

    Got to admit that there's a lot of things in the Theory Test book that I wouldn't have known from the get go! The questions and the manner in which they're asked has changed a fair amount since I did it first in 2003.

    I bought the CD for it as I have the TT looming on Wed. It's a great help considering it allows you to do the Theory test.

    There is also this booklet. But as already said use the theory test book/CD for the theory test.
