I've been having second thoughts about doing a Chinese motorcycle test since I heard (from you I think) that the police/ most people believe a standard car driver's license to be better than any motorcycle license .
I had my UK driver's license translated before getting my first bike. I told them that the codes on the back of my license (stating that I am qualified to drive a car, a milk-float and a minibus I think) meant that I could ride motorbikes up to 250cc. They asked for 200rmb and a few other documents, typed a bunch of stuff up on a computer, printed a certificate, gave it to me and sent me on my way.
I used that certificate in place of a drivers license while getting my first bike registered and there were no problems. I think I'll just continue to use it. Could I go wrong with that?

Plates are due to arrive tomorrow afternoon!
Rain is due tonight. I hope it dries up around noon. I'm scared of riding on wet roads. My tires are called Street Sharks right? I'm not exactly keen to see how they perform in water but I might give it a try.
