Confusion here:

A work colleague of mine has held his full car licence since 1980's. He also got a full HGV 1 licence. He had a full bike licence, but due to the great swansea bike licence screw up, when he changed house a couple of times, and the DVLA were changing from the paper licence to the photo one, they failed to put the bike entitlement back on his licence. He didn't notice this for ages until the work wanted all the drivers licences for insurance purposes, and he saw mine.

1. He has spoken to the DVLA, and they have said they'll put the entitlement back on if he can provide a copy of his old paper licence. (He doesn't have any copies!!!!)

2. The DVLA know by their records that my mate has held a full bike licence, but won't reinstate it onto his new updated one...

So he's been told to resit his full bike test, CBT the lot if he wants the licence back.

So the point - does he need to do the theory test again for the bike, or are the DVLA taking the mickey???
