Good motorcycle instructors in Perth? Costs?

Hey all!

I am looking to get a motorcycle license.

1. Can anyone recommend instructors in Perth?

2. What are the charges per hour? What is a considered to be reasonal
charges?

3. Very generally, how many lessons are normally required before taking
the test?

4. Do/should instructors have a range of bikes to suit people of all
sizes?

Thanks in advance!

Do NOT go with Motorcycle Academy in Warwick (Dodgy Bros.)

ALERT motorcycle school, Bayswater
9272 3311
Bout $45/hr I think.

From zero to pass should take around 9-12 lessons depening on you.
Though as some (most?) of the self righteous twats in here will tell you...
the learning never stops

Restricted is a Honda CB250 - very comfortable for almost all sizes.
Unrestricted is a Hornet 600

Alert were absolutely faultless for both my restricted and unrestricted.

Wot he said. I have heard good things from ALERT.

If you come across a school called Elite Motorcycle Training. FORGET THEM.
I have asked on several occasions what his experience and qualifications are
with no reply.

 

I paid 10 shillings an hour, but that was a while ago.
And I only used two hours.

You were just lucky to find an antique coin collector
who was also a motorcycle instructor!

10 shillings was a note GB. The same size as the $1 note that replaced it.

Theo

 

What's a $1 note?

Postman Pat

 

You're not that old Pat.

Theo

 

The 10/-, One, Five and Ten Pound notes were replaced by $1, $2, $10, and
$20 notes having the same values. The penny and threepence coins had no
equal value in the new currency. There was no 50c coin.

And, for Pat, the people really felt ripped off and kicked up a big stink
about postage going up from fourpence to four cents.

Theo

 

Bring back the round 50 cent piece!

Postman Pat (I've got one here somewhere)

 

There was indeed a 50c coin in 1966. It contained silver and was hoarded
due to the Nelson Bunker-Hunt bid to corner the silver maket. At one point
there was well over a dollars worth of silver in a 1966 50c

 

c'mon Pat, I'm only a young old bastard, and I know what a
$1 note is!


(Got a bunch of HKD$1 notes somewhere too. Apparently they
were sufficiently worthless that they only bothered printing
'em on one side!)

You're correct. I thought it came out about six months later but apparently
not.
And
.. They remain a very collectible item in uncirculated condition, but are now
regarded as no more than a bullion value coin in lesser grade. Each coin
contains approximately one third ounce of silver. The value of the coin
continues to generate confusion among the general public. Today, they are
worth around $3 each. During the silver boom of the early 1980's, their
intrinsic value reached highs of $11 to $15, much healthier than the prices
of today.

Must be the terminal decline of chemical-based photography. No matter how
you store it, silver is still nice.
