On the front of my driving licence it says AM/A/B1 B/BE.....On the back it says under A 19.01.13 14.01.19 79(3).01.
Looking at the DVLA site A is any motor bike. Does this mean I can ride a Harley ?
Which would be odd since I've never taken a motorcycle test.

79.03 - restricted to tricycles

I thought that meant you had a provisional licence for a motorbike (And still need a CBT) or it could just be a mistake as I've had more than one card I had to send back because it was wrong.

Thanks Loggy. Thought it was too good to be true. Oh well, I'll live longer.

Personally I'd want lessons before taking to the road on a motorbike as I've never ridden one.

DVLA do seem a bit rubbish,they upgraded me from HGV 3 to 2 without me asking

For a while mine said I didn't need glasses, then I sorted it, then moved house and it happened again.
