The Expressway Familiarisation Riding will be done after you pass your TP. It is compulsory to complete it if you want to be able to make your license. If you book it on the day itself, it will be free but if you choose to do it on another day then you will have to pay for it. Essentially it is just getting a feel of riding a bike on the Expressway.
I don't remember exactly where we went but I know we went to SAFTI, Discovery centre and some other places before heading back to BBDC. Before the EFR I was excited for it but I got bored pretty quick as the bikes we used, CB 125F, had no power. It was a struggle to reach 90 km/h on the bike for me and the bike also swayed at higher speeds due to its lightweight-ness. It was however, very easy to ride the bike. Just enjoy the riding in a group during the EFR. It was an experience for me. We had to be in a staggered formation and remember how to ride in a group.
Upon completion of this course, we were given a EFR paper to certify that we completed the course. This paper is important when applying for your license. If it is your first time making a license, you will need a passport size photo, your IC , the EFR paper and $50. It will take them about a month to mail your new license to you but they will issue you with a temporary license which will allow you to ride on the roads, just be sure to have it on you when riding. Since I already have a license, they will just paste on a sticker to show that I am licensed to operate class 3 and class 2b vehicles. It is free if you already have a license.
I managed to complete my 2B license on 10/08/16. It took me about 3 months to complete my license from Prac 1 to TP. It is really fast considering I took a year to complete my Class 3. I recommend everyone to take their license at BBDC as they have slots all the time. Even the TP slots are available every 3-5 days. I spent around $900 on my 2b license.
It doesn't matter if you keep failing your pracs and even your TP tests. What matters is that you don't give up halfway even if you feel that no matter how many times you take you will still fail. I learnt this from taking my car license as I had to retake my TP 4 times. Just keep trying again, eventually you will pass your 2b license and it will feel like a great accomplishment when you do.
