Bike licence

Might sound like a silly question to some but as I am about to land on your
shores.

Can anybody tell me if a uk licence is transferable or do I have to take an
australian test?

You can use your UK licence in Australia (or almost anywhere in the
world) for up to 3 months as long as the categories on your licence
match the vehicles you will be driving/riding.

Sure you do.

Good news is you automatically qualify in the whinging
and drinking criteria (given your nationality) so the rest
will be a breeze.

 

In NSW, a 5 minute skills test

 

Mate,

Here you'll be tested on:
- balancing a stubby on the tank during emergency stops,
- load balancing up to 5 cases on your bike,
- cornering and braking without upsetting the cargo (see above),
- booting roos up the arse and staying upright at speeds up to 110,
- etc.

Also, you'll have to be prepared to ride all year around here on the
'colony'.

You're welcome.
Cheers,

Bloody hell......pull up the drawbridge, Bruce.

Well it depends very slightly, on what your licence is, and which state
you sneak into.

A full pommie licence, in NSW, gets transfered into a full NSW one, with
only a "knowledge test".

The hint for the knowledge test is, read the book (can be done on-line)
and then don't think, remember!

If you have a small capacity bike licence, they may be more dificult....

Well we do like a little drink or two but we tend to be so incoherent
afterwards we are incapable of whinging

 

Is that all I thought it was a wild country?

 

Ta very much but I neglected to mention thats it WA we are headed for.

 

You must have done something pretty bad to be sent there.

The wa.gov.au site is awful, the dpi site is worse...

But can you then wake up pissed and rev the bike off its limiter?
seems to be a pommy tradition

 

....and XJ750's!

 

Trikes, BMW's, GPX250's, and they write a lot about Ducatis but don't ride
them.

 

Oh. That's bad luck. They don't allow bikes in WA.

 

In Queensland you will need to do a written test for transfer of car and
motorcycle licences. Commercial vehicles/ trucks require a pratical test.
