I currently drive a 125 scooter (twist and drive) i have been driving it for the past year on a provisional and looking to get my full license on a geared bike.

The problem is i have never driven a geared bike so i need some lessons before i do the test, doing a bit of searching on the net i found found that you can do module 2 and 4 of IBT course but for 500euro is very expensive.

Any ideas on how to get enough experience on a geared bike to have no probs in the test?

Thanks

Assuming you have the A licence just pay for an hour or two from a motoring school.

+1 s'easy.

If you've ever driven a geared vehicle, the principle is the same only easier cos it's sequential. Even if you havent, you'll soon pick it up within a lesson or two. If you haven't had training of any kind, prepare to feel a bit silly!!! You're about to find out that there's a lot you don't know.
