    There are a few stickies at the top of the forum that goes through this. Have a look at this one, http://touch.boards.ie/thread/2057065311/1, which is the most up to date

    Ok , I generally get what the laws are , can I please clarify 2 things .
    1. If I have passed my theory test for my Car licence and hold a full car licence do I have to re-do the theory test for the bike ?
    2. When I get my A permit ( I am well over 24 ) can I ride any bike on that permit , or do I have to do the IBT training first then I can ride ?
    All help would be greatly appreciated , cheers

    1. You need to do your Theory Test.
    2. You Must complete all of your IBT before you can ride a Bike on public roads. After that you can ride any bike which you can afford to insure.
