Hi there fellow two wheelers!
I agree with what everyone has generally said.... get it done in the UK and then just transfer it. Something further i would add is that get your DAS course done (as Taz said), but get it done in the UK before October 2008! they are changing the test in October to fall in line with European testing. This will mean there is an additional part to the test which is a cone course on a car park first. I tokk my DAS last summer and my instructor at the time was telling me that all the instructors hate the sound of the new rules because many test centers across the country will no longer be able to provide tests..... purely because they have not got the car park space to provide the new part of the test!!!!
This means it will be harder to get booked on a test as there will be limited places and i guess it will be more expensive as it is longer!
He also told me a rumour that they are going to make all new riders have 40 hours of tuition time before they can take the test! these must be logged and signed for by a tutor. Thats more time on a bike with an instructor and that = more money! This however was just a rumour!!!!
DSA - 2008 Motorcycle Test
I go to Melbournew in 2 weeks and will just transfer mine eventually. Riding on your british license is fine for the time being i believe
Hope this helps...... pass as fast as you can..... it will be the best thing you ever do!!!
