Just purchased my first ever set of motorised two-wheels after years of sitting for hours in traffic. Great so far given that I haven't yet got a drenching!!! Have the 50cc machine taxed and insured. What do I do with the disks, or should I say where do I put them? Or do people put disks on bikes anymore?
 
Paste it onto the front of your helmet above your visor!

Don't think I could go down this route, wouldn't feel safe enough with maniacs like me driving around! :)

Good luck!
 
LOL :D - I could just imagine it - the taxdisk that is, not the maniac! :eek: Yeah they are out there and if the lady who ran a red on Mount St bridge this morning with me waiting to go right is reading this, she can claim to be the Maniac of the Day! :rolleyes:
 
You're supposed to 'display' the tax disk on the bike (though apparently they get nicked alot), and carry the insurance disk on your person. I carry both with my driving license, which you must also carry.

You can also get bike tax disc holders.

Take a look at this old boards thread: [broken link removed]
 
Also, always wear a strong pair of gloves

( or at least always wear them until you learn how to fall off without putting your hands out to break your fall )

agree - just keep the tax/insurance cert with your license. if it's your first time biking there's lots of good advice over on www.biker.ie

please, please spend some money on gear - at the very least, gloves, boots and fluorescent jacket/bib - then add a jacket/pants when you can - it doesn't matter if it's a 50cc or 1200cc - you will hit the ground equally as hard at 40mph on both! i have a pair of shredded leather/kevlar gloves at home as a reminder of what a 30mph spill can do to you.
somewhere like Cotter Motorcycles do great deals on gear.
 
interested in getting a moped to beat the traffic does anyone know how much insurance is likley to be on a 50cc
 
220 for me with AON for a 49cc. I use my full car licence which covers 50 cc mopeds.
