Im looking at getting my motorcycle license in the next few weeks.
im 2 years into my P plates (car) (out of 3 in total). and i've had my L's for motorcycle since i got my initial L plates.. motorcycle L's are still shown on my license.. so its still valid.
how do i suss out going to do the test to get my provisional motorcycle (new laws) license? just call q-ride and book? or what...
and potential cost? i assume its like $350-450 max to go get my license.. but its just an assumption

yeah it's all easy. even if you've never ridden before you'll prettymuch pass unles you're a spastic.
if you google search for "q ride competencies" you should find a pdf doc on the transport website showing everything you ahve to do on the day to pass - uturns, figure of 8s, etc, so if you have access to a bike then it's worth having a practice first and you can replicate & master the exact tests they'll give you on the day.

i wont need practice etc, not tooting my own horn. lol
ive ridden CBR and GSXR 1000's before so the test shouldnt be a worry, and raced open class mx for a few years.
it's just so i can legally ride a VTR250 around town and shit

*Note; these figures are with riding experience. It may take longer/cost more for others.

$18.60 for the written test.
5 questions, got to get 4 out of 5 right.
www.tmr.qld.gov.au <<<< practice questions here
If you've never ridden before, do a 2 day course.
HART (Brisbane airport) offers the cheapest at $390.
They also do personal training for riding, $70. I'd do one of those before you book the two day course if you haven't ridden because it's not as easy as people often expect... and if you've ridden dirt bikes you will have to cease bad habits most probably.
One day courses are about $200.
