I think there's a OZ forum somewhere here now. Might be an idea to get this thread moved for some better info.

Google now reaches as far away as Australia, it is rumoured... :rolleyes:

In Cavan there was a great fire / Judge McCarthy was sent to inquire / It would be a shame / If the nuns were to blame / So it had to be caused by a wire.

once you get your L plates (1 full day training + theory test) you can ride anything up to a 660cc as long as you are below a certain power to weight ratio.
There's a list of bikes (LAMs) that you can check which are allowed on your Ls

I reckon your better off geting your full license here as i have heard from other bikers that the Oz test is a lot harder and takes longer to complete than here.
