16 yr old Brit with a provisional 50cc licence
Hi Everyone,
sorry if this is the wrong place to post such a question but any advices would be appreciated.
A mate's son turns 16 in March and is looking for a 50cc Dual Purpose bike. He'd like to ride over in Norway. He loved the place last year as a pillion and is looking to ride his 50 over there for a holiday.
So does anyone know if it's legal for a 16 yr old Brit to ride on L plates in Norway or, would he need to pass his test on the 50?
I know anyone with common sense would suggests that he waits until he's 17 and gets a bigger bike but the lads so keen it would be a shame to make him wait that long.
Regards
Reggie AKA The Cameraman

Hi Reggie, full licence required outside of the UK. Not really worth doing a moped test, but nothing to stop him taking a test.
Stage 1, do the CBT.
Stage 2, Pass the theory test.
Stage 3, improve your chances with further training.
Stage 4, pass the practical test.
Stage 5, apologise to instructor and examiner for being stuck at 30mph and boring us to death.
Cheers, Richard.

I hope you are not talking about giving the piston a dressing? In my youth we managed to turn little Puch and KTM 'Mofa' into seriously leathal 50 to 60 mph death traps....
Not to be recommended, but ahhh, the good old days...

c50
am totally serious!
I race a hondaha, yammy rd80lc based chassis with a monkeybike 50cc engine (same as old c50 really), running an 88cc big bore kit, underseat exhaust, big carb, takegawa head. approx 9bhp at the rear wheel at 11,000 rpm. easily enough for 70mph on the correct gearing. 26mm carb going on it shortly....
