    There are 4 insurance companies available at the moment:
    Quinn
    AON
    Carole Nash
    Adelaide

    If you don't have your permit yet you will need to do the Initial Basic Training, see here for information on it.

    I might be wrong but do you mean your car LP? If so, then no, it's an all new A or A1 LP you'll need with the IBT.

    Sorry was a bit vague there. have a full car licence so i know to do my theory all over again for a bike.
    but you know the way your first permit will only licence you to a certain cc, 90cc should be okay on the first permit?

    Yeah its well under the restriction. Go in and ask them about getting your old permit back(tell them you had a bike permit until you passed the car test), you might just be able to bullsh1t your way around IBT ;)
