I've been pulled over a few times, once the cop wanted to see my license and threatened to impound my bike - fat headed c*nt... He looked a bit confused when I showed him my international one, not too sure if he'd seen one before.

Think I got out of it for a couple of bucks. From memory, I'd failed to see a one way sign that was so badly faded by the sun. I was probably too busy looking for fuckwits trying to T-bone me.

Lucky Lucky's price is good. I just tried two places on the riverfront and was told the price was $45. One even had the audacity to say the price went up last week as the department were charging more. I rang Lucky Lucky and was told $32.

Yep, was there yesterday (unrelated to getting a license) and decided to bring my US license up there. At first they said, "sure, can turn ur license into whichever one u choose..." I pressed on, "Are u sure? I've heard of people's licenses getting rejected for motos..." Then they finally asked if mine was specifically for a bike back home, which it wasn't... Then they said, "oh, cannot..."

AFAIK you will get the equivalent of what you already have. If you have A1 you will get a 125cc moto licence, if you have B you will get a car licence, etc.

You won't get a big moto licence if you have A1, you won't get a big moto licence if you have B, etc.

It sounded like they only had 2 types:

1) good for cars and 125cc or under

2) good for over 125cc (which I would assume lets u drive any cc moto, but not for cars)
