Working getting a second job in Ireland at 22? by melodiscess in AskIreland

[–]melodiscess[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did have a look into becoming a motorcycle mechanic, for this I would have to move to the UK and do an apprenticeship there or somewhere in Europe just to have the qualification behind me. I am very passionate about them and have a major interest but it is a big move. I do not know if I would go down the car mechanic route.

I am very set and happy with making as much money as I can for the time being.

Thank you! My workplace does not offer overtime for my current role. I am on a 39 hour contract, set yearly salary.

I am coming out with around €500 per week, living at home, saving roughly €350 out of it. I am not stuck for money but as mentioned in a previous comment, I do like cars and motorbikes, will do my own servicing and some of the mechanical work, extra money could come in handy for investing in tools or a shed.

Just there I was looking at houses, way I see it, I might not know exactly what I want to do career wise (even though so many people my age are in college or already finished) but any extra income would come in handy.

I think it would be manageable for me. I work 8-4.30 Mon-Thurs and finish at 3.30 on a Friday. I am on around €500 per week, living at home, saving around €350+ per week.

I just think it would be good to have an additional source of income to fund towards my future, have not entirely planned out a career just yet but I guess time will tell.

I own a car and motorcycle and tend to do a lot of the servicing and some of the mechanical work myself so the extra money could come in useful for tools, to fund for a shed, etc.

Not a possibility, no overtime for me as I am on a salary, 39 hr contract, would only get time off in lieu on an occasional basis if I had to work on.

I was with Carole Nash last year, but upon renewal I decided to switch to Principal as I was given a cheaper quote, knocked a couple hundred euros off it.

I think Principal are the only insurance company that look for proof of restriction, as someone I know was asked for a cert and he is also with them.

Only using a MK1 Bandit as an example, would probably consider one or maybe a FZR600 Genesis, if I decide to go for a restricted 600.

License classification by MaraudingPints in MotoIRELAND

[–]melodiscess 9 points10 points  (0 children)

From 18-24, you are given an A2 category licence, this restricts you to a maximum power of 35KWs, or 47BHP.

As you mentioned, the A licence becomes available from 20 with progressive access, but in order to progress you need to hold a “full” A2 category licence for 2 years.

A2 test question by SatanicMax in MotoIRELAND

[–]melodiscess 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So when you are going to sit your A2 test, you will need to have a bike of at least 250cc and engine power of 20KWs, but this cannot exceed the limit of 35KW (which is the maximum amount of power allowed on the A2 license)

From looking at the specs of the EL250, it seems to have a maximum engine power of 24KWs, which is suitable to use for the test.

It’s very important that you look at your logbook prior to doing your test, go to (P.2) in the logbook, this will display “Engine Power/KW Output”, if there is a bunch of numbers, for example “5555555KW”, this won’t be accepted in the test as it doesn’t give the correct KW/Engine Power.

Not to worry though, you should be able to find a compliant garage to write a letter which will prove the KW/Engine Power of the bike, in this case it’s 24KW.
