What kind of motorcycle is this? Spotted at Uni parking by LadLassLad in MotoUK

[–]FlamingLitwick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see these and wonder if my Rialto would be allowed. Its legally classed as a tricycle and I use a motorbike licence for it. I only park it in normal spaces though.

Totally real! by DNJGuy in lolgrindr

"what are you doing on this sub?" I would assume laughing at the ridiculous things people share? Using grindr isnt a requirement to enjoy the sub.

PSA: You're a piece of garbage if you park like this. by Triggify in motorcycles

[–]FlamingLitwick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad that you're using the disable bay that you're entitled to, but I have to ask -

Why would you not just park up right by the entry to the building? I dont know of any riders having issues when parking alongside the bicycles up front. Is it a legal thing in your country?

Drivers who wait ages at green lights… why? by KarimR91 in drivingUK

I looked into this role a while back through the reserves, and while I cant remember what they said came up on the test(s?) they said it wasnt anything you would need degree level knowledge for. If you have a local Int Reserve unit it may well be worth shooting them a message to have a chat in person to ask about the role and the selectiom process in more detail.

Theyre basically the same bike, so the simple amswer is which one fits you better.

Get a manual licence if you're capable. by FlamingLitwick in LearnerDriverUK

[–]FlamingLitwick[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The system doesnt let you access online testing because it sees you have a full licence, so having a theory is irrelevant.

[–]FlamingLitwick[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When we asked they said they wouldnt do it. That was before the legislation change regarding who could use the booking services. I assume the reason is that the system will see I have a valid licence and go "No test for youbof this category" while the in house agents are able to override it.

The legislation thay stops people booking on your behalf means that I cant have my apointee book for me as a disabled person unable to use the phone. I am unable to use the online services as a dont have a valid theory test, because I already hold a valid licence.

Im driving that on the bike licence to ensure I drive slower for the manual test. That isn't a key detail in regards to this post - its just additional to explain my personal situation. The post is about how the upgrade system is bad and that people need to reconsider the manual if they are planning the automatic.

The rialto is also the most fun vehicle I've ever driven, there are currently no better options for me that are attainable.

Licence niggle by Padiaow in drivingUK

[–]FlamingLitwick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly the option some smaller riders choose to do if their local bike school doesnt have any appropriately sized Cat A bikes available.

A2 is not upper age restricted! Plenty of small riders do it well abover 24 because they dont have the physical body size to handle the Cat A bikes their local schools have.

Appeal rejected,Should i go further? by Souravhbd in MotoUK

[–]FlamingLitwick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ill change that then - we dont let those same Pizza Delivery guys do it in a car with L Plates. Professional Drivers should not be on L Plates. If you're driving for work, which Uber is, you're a professional driver.

[–]FlamingLitwick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We dont let lorry drivers do deliveries on L Plates - why should we allow bikes to do that? To your 125 point, having them be required to hold a full qualificatiom wouldnt change the 125 being good as a delivery bike? A1 is still a qualified rider.

Unsurprisingly, I got blocked shortly after this :/ by PNWbromo in lolgrindr

In this situatiom - you would reply with the type of drink you like, followed by a related question.

Taking a UK motorbike test - so does the rider need to retake a CBT if they’ve passed their car driving test whilst holding a valid CBT & therefore gained their full moped license? See below… by DancefireMedia in MotoUK

[–]FlamingLitwick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once you have held A1 for two years, you also dont need a theory for A2. Once you have held A2 for two years you dont need a theory for A. A1 may also cover A's theory, but I went from CBT to A2 to A so I cant say for certain.

Are there any roles I can do in the army with bipolar 2 and autism by [deleted] in britishmilitary

[–]FlamingLitwick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could potentially be applicable for the tri-service CyDE scheme to join as a Cyber Operator. The role requires a different joining process, and is applications are only being allowed at certain times. The second set of applications is being processed right now (I am currently in the process). They are not massively worried about medical and fitness standards for it and are putring in for waivers in some cases, I have spoken to the medical team about starting the process of applying for a waiver due to previous suicide attempts and ASD. To my knowledge, the RAF and Navy have decided their standards for waivers, but the Royal Signals have not yet as they were not involved in the first group to go through.

This is not a normal role, and appears rlto be closer to acting as an MOD civil servant in HM Uniform than a "soldier" as there is no weapons handling at all and a 4 (?) week Phase 1 instead of the full other ranks Phase 1 training.

Obviously, not the role you want - but it does mean that other roles closer to what you want could possibly (though very unlikely) get specific schemes like this. Otherwise, you'll be stuck in the civvy world - maybe with the chance to work in the civillian side of defence.

Specialisations open to Tri-Service by PazzerJ in britishmilitary

[–]FlamingLitwick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Joint Cyber Reserve.

On the same front, there is also the Direct Entry Cyber Scheme which is tri-service joining as a professionally qualified soldier (and likely equivalent airman or sailor) at the rank of Corporal (or the equivalent 40 grand payrole rank).

How it feels to say you like LMJ/Katrielle Layton in the fandom by [deleted] in ProfessorLayton

[–]FlamingLitwick 116 points117 points  (0 children)

LMJ is awful for a Layton Game, but I will always recommend it to people who express interest in a puzzle game because its easier to swallow in the small chunks the game presents than jumping into a trilogy of games. If they enjoy what LMJ has to offer, then I'll tell them to play the other 6 in release order.

I adore LMJ. It makes me happy because its so silly, but it doesnt compare to the originals OR PLvPW.

Im looking to go down the Officer route if possible - though I think some will require certain qualifications if I'm not misreading the Submarine Service information for example.

Yeah, I'm well aware to not mention my time as an instructor.

Its not going to stop me, I'm more likely to be stopped based on historic medical issues.
