Ik heb onlangs code 372 gehaald om met 4u les met een A1 motor binnen België te rijden. Ondertussen ben ik wel al aan het kijken om binnen iets meer dan een jaar meteen voor het rijbewijs A te gaan. Niet perse om ook direct met een 1000cc of dergelijke te rijden, maar dan heb ik toch de mogelijkheid naar de toekomst toe.

Nu vroeg ik me af hoe dat zit voor het theorie examen en de praktijk. Er zijn 2 pagina's, beiden van vlaanderen.be die elkaar tegenspreken. Hier staat de minimum leeftijd op 17 jaar 9 maanden omdat voor alle niveaus 1 examen is. En hier staat dan weer 23 jaar en 9 maanden voor A.

Daarna de lessen. Ik vind ook niet meteen wanneer ik de lessen kan starten. Is dat ook pas 23 jaar en 9 maanden, of vroeger?

Alle tips of pagina's met info worden geapprecieerd

Iemand een adres in het antwerpse waar je banden incl binnenbanden kan laten monteren? Bij voorkeur waar Heidenhau aangekocht kan worden of waar je zelf met banden naartoe kan. Bonus als ketting en tandwielen op hetzelfde adres kan vervangen worden,.

For those who change their own tires, what tools do you use?

I've been buying my tires online for some time, but taking the wheels to a pro to get the tires fitted.

Want to try it myself, mostly so that I can do it on my own terms, in the evening or night or on a Sunday, without the hassle of making an appointment, taking time off from work et cetera.

Ideally I'm looking for a set of tools that will give me everything I need to try it myself (something like the Abba tire change package, that I happen to know as I use their stand). Or a clear shopping list. 😅

While cost saving is not really the goal, stuff like the Rabaconda is quite a bit more than I'd like to pay.

Curious to read any recommendations, thanks in advance.

Can somebody reccomend a professional service in the Brussels area who will transport an unregistered bike to a technical inspection? I am trying to avoid renting a trailer or van myself, it's a big bike and I would prefer having the help of a professional.

Ciao guys, i'd love to start doing some offroad in Belgium with my Beautiflul Africa Twin RD03. Where can i find GPX tracks or what are the best places to do offroad in Belgium?

I am from the Brussels area

Thank you!!

Pour le Anhfart 2026 ?

Dag beste motocollegas

Ik heb sinds 2j men A2 rijbewijs en zou graag met de 4u rijles upgraden naar men volledig rijbewijs.
De rijschool waar ik normaal ga zit, volledig begrijpelijk met het seizoen, vol tot en met september. Het probleem is dat ik vaak, meerdere dagen en onregelmatig weg ben met mijn werk en pas maand per maand mijn planning heb.

Dus: weten jullie rijscholen die veel beschikbaarheid hebben op korte termijn? (Bij voorkeur regio examencentrum Geel) Ik begrijp dat dat misschien onrealistisch is in de zomer 🙃

Groetjes en geniet van het zonnetje iedereen

I was wondering where Belgian riders usually find good motorcycle routes. Do you mainly use RouteYou, Calimoto, Kurviger, MyRoute-app, GPX files from other riders, Facebook groups, or something else?

I’m mostly looking for nice day rides in Belgium, but also just across the border in the Netherlands, Luxembourg, France or Germany. Good roads, twisties, quiet stretches, nice stops, that kind of thing.

RouteYou seems quite popular, but I’m curious if it’s actually the best option or if there are better sources Belgian riders use.

How do you usually find or plan your rides?

Super temps aujourd’hui pour profiter de ma GSA 🙌

Toevallig iemand on the road tussen Ohrid en België? Heb enkele dagen om thuis te geraken, stukje samen rijden altijd leuk.

Hey all,
im interested in getting my A2 license and recently passed my theory exam. I was wondering if anyone has any good recommendations on a driving school around Leuven (or further) that provides low seated (girl) bikes. Im very short (158cm) and finding a bike my size proved quite the challenge. I went to Mercator in Rotselaar but even their lowest bike was WAY too tall for me.

For reference the Kawasaki z400 is the perfect size for me, lower will also do ofc.

My bf did his license at Just Safe in Tessenderlo but he absolutely does NOT recommend it because of sexist and demotivating instructors. Im afraid because of me being softer (and a girl) i would succumb to the pressure.

If anyone has any good recommendations please let me know 🥹

Chers motards,

Wie gebruikt er af en toe is ne grote rugzak om extra spullen mee te krijgen en waar hebt ge die gevonden?

Ik ben namelijk op zoek naar iets dat stevig en betrouwbaar is, liefst waterdicht, genre ne sportzak dat ge op uw rug kunt dragen.

Ik weet niet of dit überhaupt bestaat en ik ben zeer benieuwd naar jullie ervaringen hieromtrent.

Edit: Kriega blijkt ne favoriet te zijn, ik kende het merk nog niet. Enig idee welke fysieke winkel dit assortiment heeft staan? Ik vraag mij af of ge bvb in zo nen R25 ne ganse kask kunt insteken. Ik kan mij die volumes niet goed inbeelden.

Hello guys (and gals?)

Currently living in Brussels (postal code 1000) and I have been looking into switching bikes and getting an ADV. Currently have a old 2015 bike that I only pay RC insurance on (not full coverage)

If I switch bikes I will probably go for something more modern (maybe euro 5 as well since mine is euro 3 and might get tricky in next couple of years). Therefore the value of the bike will be higher and full coverage seems necessary to me in case of theft/accident.

However when I ran some simulations of insurance for mid size ADV's, for example the Tenere 700 I was quoted nearly 300 euros per month on Yamaha's offical insurance system. (I'm 28 years old, have access to underground parking but not private parking a shared one from my building, and have had my full license for about a year)

My question after all this rambling for context is do you have any personal experience with some decent insurance companies that offer full coverage on ADV style machines like the Tenere 700? Seems insane to essentially pay just as much for insurance over 3 years as I would for the whole bike.

Would love to buy/own one but the insurance quotes are really putting me off of the idea.

Any info/tips appreciated!

Hello people,

Sorry if the question was already asked.

I am planning to apply for 9 hours classes for class A, can someone recommend a good driving school in and around Leuven.

Thanks for the info

Hey, I'm gonna go check out a 2nd hand motorcycle tomorrow (not with a dealer, just someone off autoscout24) and I'll test ride it. What's the etiquette for this? Is anything expected of me that I might not know? Would they likely expect something in return for the test ride? (either compensation or assurance that I won't steal it)

Thanks a bunch :)

Hey guys,

I’ve got a 1st gen MT-09 and was thinking about renting it out occasionally for a daily price when I’m not using it.

I already looked into MotoShare since it seems pretty active in the Netherlands, but from what I can tell they don’t really support Belgium properly insurance-wise.

So now I’m wondering if anyone here has actually done this in Belgium?

• Is it even possible legally/insurance-wise?
• Any insurers that allow this?
• Better platforms than MotoShare?
• Or is private rental basically a no-go here?

Not looking to start a full rental company or anything crazy, just thought it could help cover some costs while the bike sits around.

Would appreciate any experiences or advice from people who’ve tried it.

Hi guys and girls

I’m sure this has been covered by please indulge me

Me and my partner have booked a trip to Bruges from the UK. The hotel is bang on in the middle of the city and I’m struggling to find places to park my BMW.

I’ve heard and seen in the past that people park on pavements sometimes and was wondering if this is acceptable?

I’d hate to get a ticket or worse a clamp for my 3 days there
Therefore, if anyone’s local and can advise if it’s ok to leave parked on pavement (being courteous and leaving pedestrians space obvs) or am I better off paying the hotel 30 euros a night 🫠

Thanks

I have my exam (both parts) mid-June as I need to borrow my instructor's bike but I have already bought my own bike and I am hoping to get all the admin business sorted now so I'm ready to go once I have my licence. Is it advisable/allowed to already insure the bike (not to ride) without the licence or would I be wasting time and money. Cheers
