Hi Chris,
I'm from the UK but living in Oz, don't have a bike licence just car, but I think the term 'provisional' has a different meaning when talking about licences in UK and Oz.
When I was learning in the UK a provisional licence was what you had before you pass the test. After you pass the test you get a full licence.
My understaning of things here in Oz is that after you pass the test the licence you get is called provisional, you have that for 3(?) years then if you behave yourself get the full licence.
I've not been in the UK for a few years, so things may have changed, but I'm pretty sure if you tell anyone in the UK you've got a provisional licence they'll think you've not passed a test yet.
Hope this helps,
P
