I know its not quite a pic of a Hi-jet loaded up with wired and wonderful things. But if it counts it is Hi-jet wheels on the back. And it has been in the back of a hi-jet when it broke down

Bought a wee quad when I was there though so the van was still pretty full on the way home.

The buggers...i put a lot of effort into getting it all cleaned up and painted in a half decent coat of matt black...Oh well at least it fits on the hi-jets

She is 49 cubic centimeters, 2 stoke.
random bit of info, but if what i read online was correct it is one of the last ones made. As Raleigh stopped making runabouts in feb 1971. And my little Raleigh was first registered in feb 1971.

Why do you have L plates up?

by ToaseMan Mon Feb 03, 2014 5:57 pm

Only got a CBT at the moment. Not going to bother with a bike test for a few more years yet. As everything been changed. And i know if you take your test before you're 19 biggest you can ride is a 125, Yes you can take passengers and use motorways, But if i get the old Hi-jet fixed, I can use that for taking passengers and plodding steady away up the motorway

by Logi Mon Feb 03, 2014 6:06 pm

Unless it's changed you have a full moped licence when you have a full car one?

by ToaseMan Mon Feb 03, 2014 6:14 pm

I've heard that before. But unfortunately I don't have a car licence yet, but hopefully getting the Hi-jet running will give me good inspiration later this year. Only thing is my average fuel consumption will go down from about 100-120 MPG to about 60-70 MPG (I hear that what the diesels can achieve anyway)

by Logi Mon Feb 03, 2014 6:25 pm

Ahh, I see Smile

Thought it had maybe changed, I assumed that you had a car licence.
A Hijet as a 1st car?

Yeah, Well first plan was to get a rascal, But came across this diesel, Should just need a new head gasket, and another plan was to put a fan switch in the cab, Though i hear there is better ways round it. But its only a 1.2 so it can't be too bad on insurance (famous last words...)
And as for the Hi-jet ad you just posted, seen that loads, And makes me laugh everytime i see it

by chrisstonefilm Mon Feb 03, 2014 9:06 pm

I'm 23 and my Hijet is the first vehicle I have bought. I was insured on a family car before but my Hijet is the first one owned by me Smile

That was lost off the licence years ago Sad

by HighlyJetted Sat Feb 08, 2014 10:38 pm

You can ride a moped without L plates and without taking the full motorcycle test if either:

you have a car driving licence and a compulsory basic training (CBT) certificate
you passed your driving test before 1 February 2001

by Logi Sat Feb 08, 2014 10:41 pm

Bummer. Didn't know that, though with all the changes it's not surprising. I'm due to start all this driver cpc pish for my HGV, absolute pain in the tits.

by HighlyJetted Sun Feb 09, 2014 10:37 am

Yep CPC is the biggest load of tosh in town.

by waz Sun Feb 09, 2014 3:18 pm

Just a word of caution for anyone renewing there licence, If you have a full motorbike licence keep a record of it as the DVLA have been omitting to renew it and you will have to take a test to get it back. There was a cos of a motorcycle cop having his committed and even tho the chief constable wrote to the DVLA ha had to take a retest to get it back.

Why, when it is obviously their fault?

I will let you argue with them about that but incompetence springs to mind.

You've never had dealings with the DVLA have you?

by bushwhacker Tue Feb 11, 2014 4:03 pm

Yes. You just have to keep at them.

I once spent 5 months of back & forward with the knobends to get a Q plate removed from one of my bikes. They are honestly the biggest bunch of incompetent bellends I have ever dealt with. Mad

It has been fairly well documented about the lost category thing, the DVLAssholes just wash their hands of it, the onus is on you to prove you had it.
Cos of all the different driving stuff I've done my licence is on file with a few companies so I have a backup, wouldn't want to risk the "Computer Says No" culture I've previously dealt with. Rolling Eyes
